   Are KDenLive and/or avidemux not suitable for those purposes?   
      
   Mind you, I have not used either, so I am asking out of curiosity.

   Are you talking here of editing the video in GNU/Linux or are you   
   talking about editing it in Microsoft Windows inside a virtual machine?   
      
   If the latter, then there's probably an issue with direct access to the   
   video adapter from the virtual machine.  Xen and Linux kvm have a   
   workaround for this, but it's tricky to set up.  It requires patching   
   the video adapter through to the virtual machine.
