Thanks for any suggestion

This is a great place to ask that question. Check out MediBuntu and
also Ubuntu Studio.

Great, thank you very much Scott,
The software is for my 85 year old father who also wants to try open
source software from now on.

My recommendation for video editing will be Kdenlive. It pulls in a few
KDE libraries, but works excellent with lots of options.

Thank you Kaj. Can I just use it straight with Ubuntu 12.04 or do I need to
install any extras in 12.04 before installing it. Will it take care of the
KDE libraries by itself or does it need user intervention?
Jake
Regardless of Ubuntu, Xubuntu or Kubuntu, just:
sudo apt-get install kdenlive
this will probably suggest some extra packages, but if you accept, every
dependency will get installed automagically. - On a related note, take
your time to learn the ins and outs of the application. Video editing is
not for the faint-at-heart, but kdenlive is very friendly in that
respect. Enjoy!
Kaj Haulrich.
