[plug] video editing software

[John Knight]

xine is also a great general purpose player (it's not just a dvd player), 
which has menus, which mplayer (which i'm also an advocate of) doesn't. I've 
also got a stack of mplayer commands to work from. MPlayer also has 
frontends for its mencoder part, check out the mplayer homepage for links. I 
was one of the original divxers and I can safely say, you'll much prefer the 
mencoder way over the flaskmpeg and virtual dub way!
