Kino lacks many video editing features. To make your DV videos look very, very well, Cinelerra CVS is the only program for now.

Autodesk's seeming hatred for linux desktop apps is why Maya for linux is hard to get now. They are working on killing it off.
Fredricks, Cenelerra's hardware requirements are for, optimally, dual opterons with multiple gigs of ram and a couple of hundred space gigs of hard drive space. it is meant as a professional tool. MS video maker is a home tool, like all MS software.
you will find that running Cinelerra on your laptop would lock you out of doing ANYTHING else until the job finished.

I already know that there are programs for Linux. I mean the programs that the studios wrote to help them do certain tasks better and faster will not be distributed to the public.
