There are programs that can pull the contents off a DVD and save the video 
in standard video file formats. To edit the files there are four different 
programs you can use: LiVES, Kino, Cinelerra, and kdenlive.

I have never looked at kdenlive but I have tried the other three (but not 
recently). Kino seemed a rather basic editor but IIRC it had a feature 
(reversing a video segment which I did use once) that wasn't in the other 
programs. I tried Cinelerra which was closer to the editor I use in Windows 
but it's selection of file formats for import seemed limited and it didn't 
seem to be as stable as the other offerings. In Linux I was mostly using 
LiVES. It wasn't as full featured as Cinelerra but it offered more than 
Kino, supported more file formats and was more stable than Cinelerra.

It has been a while since I have checked out the Linux based video editors 
so all of the programs may have changed and/or improved since I last tried 
them. I still find myself going back to Pinnacle Studio in Windows when I 
have a need to edit some video.
