Free tools for video use and redaction in Linux aren't that thorny to brainwave if you know where to face.
Here are my favorites:
Avidemux is a complimentary video editor in chief designed for clear-cut cutting, filtering and encryption tasks. It supports numerous file types, together with AVI, DVD compatible MPEG files, MP4 and ASF, victimisation a assemblage of codecs. Interestingly, it's unspoken for for Linux, BSD, Mac OS X and Windows beneath the GNU GPL official document. I haven't tested Mac OS X and Windows versions, but the programme runs super beneath Ubuntu Linux (Dapper Drake).

For profile conversion, there's FFMPEG, which is free-but you'll have to larn to use it finished the speech act rank. Unfortunately, the MAN leaf for the programme isn't very absolve.
To put aside a few of you the thorny problem of reckoning it out, here's a express teacher.
Let's say you want to convert a report titled MYVIDEO.AVI to the mpg format, which is the data format nourished by the K3 CD incineration program. After installing FFMPEG (you can use Synaptic Package Manager), combustion up Terminal.
From the decree line, navigate to the brochure wherever the file is kept. So you mightiness type:
cd /home/user/Converts
to go to the book where on earth the wallet is kept.
Then like the following at the bid line:
ffmpeg -i MYVIDEO.avi -target ntsc-vcd MYVIDEO.mpg
and hit Enter. That should get the rendition system started, and you ought to see every file whorl by in the Terminal fanlight. Don't circumstantially tie the window, because that will put a stop to the shift. You can decrease it, however.
To person an avi folder to SVCD format, you would type:
ffmpeg -i MYVIDEO.avi -target ntsc-vcd MYVIDEO.mpg
There's a GUI front-end for FFMPEG on Mac OS X, but I haven't recovered one for Linux.
For ripping DVDs, I use AcidRip. Very down-to-earth but hastening and streamlined.
