Film? You can't edit FILM in a computer, especially when it is shot on
video tape. Any film that is edited is done so by converting to video.
For feature film it is scanned frame by frame and transferred into the
computer. I'd love to know how physical film is edited in a computer :-)
On a serious note, You do not want to convert to the form of MPEG that is
used on DVDs, since that cannot be edited very well. You can only edit
on I frame boundaries, which is about every 1/2 second. If you create all
I frames, then you can edit on video frame boundaries.
Video editing under Linux is getting better, but unfortunately I still
do all my DVCAM editing under Windoze, using Premiere and/or Cinestream.
DVD authoring is still a PeeCee thing.
