Kino is probably the easiest to get your head around and handles capture, editing (including transistion effects, text overlays etc.) and output to numerous formats.
Its editing is also non-destructive (meaning it does not touch the original files) so if you make a mistake you can simply redo what you wanted. Linux Format magazine had a good tutorial back on video editing wtih Kino a couple of years ago - I think it is still available on their website as pdf's.
The only thing Kino can't (currently) do is replace the audio with that from another source (e.g. adding or overlaying a music track to a video track).
There are other video editors available also (e.g. Cinelerra, OpenMovieEditor, Pitivi), some of which do include this capability, but apart from Cinelerra (which is very complicated to get your head around) I've not tried them.
