Hey Lorenzo!

Thanks for reminding me about xjadeo - I should try if I can use that tool
to do the sync as well. Although Xjadeo does not play sound, right? Because
I usually use video camera audio as something that I am syncing the
external audio recording to.

I tried Cinelerra today from community PPA and the big problem with it is
that it does not read my format and I have no idea what to do here. Same
with Blender - it looks very promising and cool, but these encoding
problems are very tough. OpenShot may be unstable, but at least it rarely
has such troubles.

Maybe there is some way to make Cinelerra see all the formats?
