It's the wonderful image editor, the GIMP, modified to operate with video.

Cinelerra runs only with linux and has a bit of an attitude problem sometimes. VirtualDub is great but is limited and doesn't have the interface you might be expecting... (it's still absolutely wonderful however) And runs on windows only... (drat it, ah well... what's wine for!)
VirtualDub isn't designed for editing per se. I think it's more useful as the first (i.e. video capture) or last (i.e. encoding program in your workflow). Actually, scratch that, it was designed for editing originally by Avery Lee, but now i think its major use is what i said above. Including for-pay and for-a-lot-of-pay programs, it really is the best for these stages from what i used.
