Dougie, I think we can simply include in the section "recording and editing video", under "Movies, DVDs and videos" chapter, a list of popular video tasks with the corresponding software to use, for example
HOW TO:
make a DVD -> use DeVeDe
edit a video -> use either PiTiVi or Kino or OpenMovieEditor
rip a dvd -> use either Thoggen DVD Ripper or AcidRip
record a desktop session -> use gtk-recordMyDesktop
record a movie from webcam -> use Cheese
The listed apps are, for my experience (I tried many and many multimedia apps as I use Ubuntu as multimedia station) the best apps available that mix usability and functionality. When I list more apps for a certain "how-to" is because some tasks require the use of more apps: for example to rip a dvd Thoggen is a great software to rip into ogg but if you require to rip into other format you have to choose AcidRip (I haven't include other popular software as DVD::Rip, better than acidrip for completeness, because transcode is very buggy than mplayer/mencoder).
