Has anyone done any video editing with their Linux machine.  I am looking to build a new machine and am looking for pointers on components, mainly the video card.  I would like video in and video out so I can transfer video tape to the computer.  I am also thinking of taking some of the videos and making DVD's out of them.  

The components that I am thinking about so far are
AMD XP 1800 or 1900
Elitegroups ESC K7S5A with the SIS735 chipset.  Tomshardware gave it a good review.
512 MB DDR
36 GB SCSI Ultra 160 Drive
SCSI DVD-Ram and CD-RW (2 components)

All thoughts are welcomed and appreciated.
