One of my few holdovers from Windows is a great little program, Womble MPEG2VCR (<a href="http://womble.com/products/vcr.html" title="womble.com">http://womble.com/products/vcr.html</a womble.com>). It's not a full-featured editor like Cinelerra, but it does one thing very well---it edits with minimal transcoding. Consider an MPEG stream---many pictures each followed by a number of changes to those pictures. Theoretically, a cut from the stream only needs to re-encode the changes immediately preceding and following it, with no loss of quality of the rest of the stream. That's something that MPEG2VCR can do. Because there's so little transcoding involved, it's quite fast. I'd love to find something for Linux with this capability---does anyone have any ideas?
