I, too, am watching your travails with interest. I'm a video editor with a
full fledged production studio and hope to be able to use Linux as my main
workstation in the next two years, before the full transition to HD becomes
mandatory/necessary. Please post any successes you have. I can't offer any
suggestions. I currently have Kino, Cinelerra, and Jahshaka running on my FC4
boxes, but was never able to get kdenlive to run. But, I'm not on a 64 box...
I am thoroughly tired of the endless amounts of money we have to spend on "W"
software, so I watch these projects with interest.
