A sizeable number of full featured, mature and free video applications are available on the Linux platform. This article explores such topics as becoming a digital video editing master and turning your Linux machine into a Home Theatre.
To provide insight into the quality of software that is available, we have compiled a list of 42 high quality Linux video applications, covering a broad spectrum of uses. Most of the titles included in this feature are desktop applications with an elegant graphical front-end, although we have not neglected console software.

So this type list is not your cup of tea. Personaly i have found this type of lists useful to me under some circumstances.
And you know you dont need to read every article on osnews the headline told pretty much wich kind of article this was, so you really did know beforehand that this was of no intreast for you.
Yeah shorter lists within a smaller area is also good especily when there are small reviews on every pice of software is also good, but it was not wath the author feelt like writing.

i understand the need for variety when it comes to available applications, but why choose so many in a single 'review' or list of apps? and why 42?
this is the 2nd article i've seen like this lately, not sure if it was from OSNews but it probably was. this really isnt good reading content, i'd rather get a list of the 10 most amazing video apps or have them broken down into specific roles (like HTPC apps or something unique).
this link wasnt worth the click, i could of just googled for 'linux video apps' and gotten the same list.
also, reading the comments it seems everyone will jump in with 'oh they forgot this'... seems pretty pointless again.
