Lovely, lively,
It was indeed hard to get started.
There is a list on cinelerra where you could get much info.

There is a link to a slackware site on www.cinelerra.org
if you do "wget -r -np to that site" you should get most of the 
dependencies. If you have any problems please email me privately on 
mettavihari@gmail.com or ask on the cinelerra mailing list.

I have manged to get cinelerra up working (without the bottle);-)
And once you get on it then it is like opium.
You cannot get off it again.;-)
It really is pro.

I will have a look at lvempeg.sf.net
It sounds interesting and challenging

There is also a interface for making dvd's but i have not mastered yet.
May be in about 1-2 weeks I should be able to help.
