Hmmm divx Low motion is a bad idea, it has a bad quality and is in a 
avi-format and if you want to cut you have to do this precise on a keyframe. 
I haven't much experience under Linux but have done this under win a lot 
before ..

This is because of the Keyframes I guess

Hmmm I think you should use Motion-JPEG to capture because it is better for 
editing, maybe mpeg2 is also good for this. 

Further I've heard about a tool called broadcast2000, for video-editing, but I 
didn't try it right now.

Maybe MJPEG and mencoder does the trick for you ...

I hope this helps you a littlebit.
