Avidemux is essentially an opensource rewrite of VirtualDub with more features built in. It loads, appends, and chops video files, applies filters and resizes, splits and joins the video and audio tracks, and compresses video and audio. I guess you could say it's a video stream processor.
It's incredibly easy to operate and anyone who has ever used virtualdub should be right at home. I use it to archive TV shows that I record on VCR and then capture via miniDV firewire passthrough. A far easier process than I've ever had in Windows.
On the other hand, real video editing in Linux? Fugget aboudit!
As for Kino, personally, I've never gotten Kino to do anything useful, mostly because it doesn't seem to be designed to DO anything useful.
