Linux Video Editors?

[swestrup]

Is there such a thing as a Video Editor for linux with the following features?

1. Can handle audio, video and subtitles.
2. Doesn't assume a single stream of any of the above.
3. Can perform lossless editing by working on a keyframe basis
4. Understands Matroska video containers.
   

I have a video with ~1 minute of noise (test image and tone) at the start. I need to cut off that 1 minute without desyncing the various audio and subtitle streams that are also in the video.

The one time I tried to do any video editing, I used avidemux. I dunno if it handles all of those. I'm pretty sure it does 2 and 4. I'm not sure if it does subtitles. I don't know what 3 means, so I'm no help there.

Alas, my experience with avidemux is that it crashes a lot on 64-bit Unix. Also only does one of any type of data stream (no alternate sound tracks) and doesn't do subtitles at all.

That's odd, because I thought the first thing I did with it was to add a second audio track. Maybe I'm remembering wrong and I used a different tool for that.

I just double-checked and it has an option to switch between primary and secondary audio tracks. Since I want to work on all 3 audio tracks at once, this is not really a solution.
