 From time to time, I look into trying video editing on Linux, dabble
with some semi-functional software, and give up in disgust.  There seems
to be a fundamental misunderstanding in what's needed with video editing
(and some other video related things, like DVD-video backing up), in
that we need to create an end-product that's directly usable by someone
else.

If I create a video, I have to give someone on a DVD that they can play
in a standard player connected to their TV set.  Ogg theora output is
useless.

The input side of things is similarly warped.  I need to be able to
import DV, and work on the files in their own format.  Notwithstanding
the problems in trying to get video into a system on a virtually ignored
firewire port, converting digital video from one format to another is
not only wastefully time consuming, but damaging to video quality.
