a few years ago i delved into this and gave up. i'm sure it's better now but i wasted enough time then that i don't care to repeat the experience. as you allude to in your post, it was less the recording software and more of the overall hardware environment that was the issue. it, of course, all has to work together but it did not. i work with both video and audio and used a mac pro at that time. i also had four monitors running with a matrox triplehead2go. that combination proved way too cumbersome for me to get set up reliably considering i was mainly supposed to be working on media, not system setup. i now run a hackintosh partitioned to have both osx and w7 (mostly running w7 nowadays) and have been tempted to check things out again but, frankly, i don't have the time to waste as everything works really well under my current setup and with little time spent troubleshooting that setup.
reaper has added video editing capability recently. while windows/osx only, the devs have made efforts to make it run well under wine. should allow for syncing/editing your audio into your video. i believe it acts largely as a front end for ffmpeg for a purpose like this. there should be a lot of help at the reaper forum. the demo is fully functional and not time-limited.

there is a program called aatranslator, windows only, unfortunately, though, it does run under wine, that will convert an ardour session to any of a large number of other session formats. it's proprietary, though, very reasonably priced and does a good job in the conversion process.

to my knowledge, none of these kinds of cameras (milc) have tethering software
available. i too would like to use one but my task is shooting timelapse to a laptop.
i also use an external trigger. basically, i use the tethering app to define camera
settings and the external trigger to actually take the shot. without the remote
control software for this, i'm stuck with the larger dslr. if anyone knows otherwise,
please advise. if you ever might need anything like tethering, you might be out of
luck for these mid-range cameras. seems like the manufacturers have reserved
the tethering for the pricier models.

what about looking into something made for either machine vision or astrophotography?
there are some very nice, very simple cameras for those purposes.
as a 'casual' user, this kind of thing has been a nightmare for me.
i tripleboot osx, xp, and 64studio in my audio/video suite. i'd love to start migrating to linux and 64studio for a lot of my work but it's been extremely difficult to find info on how to match the system under linux to what i have set up in both xp and osx.
i use four monitors, three tied together to display as a single, extremely wide, monitor via a matrox triplehead2go. this makes the three monitors appear to the system as a single monitor. it was fast and easy to set up in both xp and osx.
the fourth monitor is on the second port of my dualhead ati card and sits above the other three. i use it to display video for either video editing or the picture when i'm editing/mixing audio for film/video post.
i've never gotten the setup to match what i have in xp or osx and have, pretty much, had to give up on linux for my work for this reason.
this is a very interesting thread to me and i look forward to investigating some of the tips posted.
thanks,

can't wait to start seeing the videos of those tiny wheels hitting fresh chewing gum on the sidewalks.
maybe somebody should make a new linux distribution to solve the excessive fragmentation issue.

some kind of prototype for national id/passports cards we'll all need soon? this is arizona, after all.

this is about organizing for u.s. health care reform.
