   I just happened to come across a recent Linux Format magazine  that   
   waxed enthiastically about video editing on Linux.   
      
   There was an interesting article on the OpenShot package, so - spurred   
   by your comment - I installed it (also Inkscape and Blender, as   
   recomended, for titling and captions).   
      
   The first thing I found was that OpenShot assumes you already have video   
   captured into your PC.   
      For capture, the article recommended Kino. Having installed that I   
   found that it depended on Firewire, a connection for which is not   
   available on the SO's videorecorder.   Exit Kino.   
      
   I then imported a small video file from my Humax STB to play with.   
   Tried Fades - OK.   
      Tried titling, but after carefully designing the title, on clicking   
   'Apply' it vanished - nowhere to be seen, and apparently beyond recall.   
     Unusable.   
      
   No sign of any DVD menu generation facility.   
      
   So, back to  Pinnacle Studio on Windows 7 again (and soon), and another   
   battle with BSOD.  :-)
