I think mplayer/mencoder/ffmpeg should do....

I remember reading a review of video editing software for Linux a few
months back that basically summed it up as not ready for prime time.
However, I couldn't google it up in 2 minutes so I'm not sure what it
was. However these 2 came back:
http://www.linux.com/articles/60624
http://www.linux.com/articles/60837
as well as a whole lot of other on "linux video editing".

Seems like there might be ok solutions for light weight editing.

Man.... I have NO idea how you would do that 

BTW, I have found the rest of this thread quite interesting if
not necessarily to the point.
