This is my second post on the software for ubuntu . Well this one could be installed on other platform though.This is a open source video manipulation program which embodies all the video filtering effect into them. Making color adjustment,bit rate modification,clipping a part of a movie can be done in a single clicks.One of the major highlight of the software is building up a dvd from other video formats. Since its named as AviDemux don't have the misconception that can only edit the .avi formats . It extends it hand to wide variety of file formats which includes AVI, DVD compatible MPEG files, MP4 and ASF.Avidemux is available for Linux, BSD, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows under the GNU GPL license. Their GUI interface make a novice feel comfortable in working with the software.
Ubuntu user's type
sudo apt-get install avidemux in the terminal.
