I find it easier for me, although if this editor was to be actually created, I would consider building it with Glade, although the problem is that there are quite a few of special widgets there that don't exist in the default GTK+ library. It's inevitable to create some custom widgets for such a project. I just use Paint Shop Pro 5 on XP.

I'm using Ubuntu 7.10 with the latest Gnome DE. Thanks in advance, Rehdon Hi Eugenia,

I was ready to suggest a "bounty jar" for anyone who would try to make it look like you just did (and work as expected) but when I saw you numbers I cringed! Sigh! I just wish that guy from Diva hadn't given up. What I don't understand is that all the underlying technologies already exist as separate tools (dvgrab, ffmpeg, mencoder, etc.). Noo need to reinvent the wheel, just focus un building an interface like the one you did that works with those tools. I believe this is what the guy behind Open Movie Editor is trying to do but as you said, progress is slow. No one is going to pay for that unless they get a positive/decent ROI. I'll gladly pay $50 for a good working application in Linux. Nice mockup Eugenia.

This is a poor excuse. There are many, and good, video editors for both the Mac and Windows. It's only the alternative platforms that don't have good video editors, because they are simply HARD to create, not because there's no demand. There are over 6-7 video editors for Linux, so this alone shows that there's interest (and considering that they are hard to create). If you read Jono Bacon's recent blog post, you would see that all people who replied were whining about the same thing too. And that doesn't even count a very well known person in the Linux community who has a Windows partition just so he can do some video editing. There is demand, not as big as a good web browser like Firefox, but enough demand to require at least 1 good editor. But there's not a single one that's stable, easy to use or with enough features.

Yes, it's of interest to some users, but not enough ... It seems the simple answer as to why other platforms lack a decent video editor is that there isn’t _mass_ demand for it.
