For DV video capture and up front editing, use Kino
(You've already discovered that site). For more
advanced editing, use Cinelerra
(http://www.heroinewarrior.com/cinelerra.php3) if you
happen to have a cluster handy, or use Jashaka
(http://www.jahshaka.com/) if you really want to make
something really cool. If ease of use is what you have
in mind, then "Main Actor" for Linux sells for $199.00
and is available for download, so you can get it
instantly. There is a demo of it available if you want
to check it out (it resembles final cut pro).

As for DVD authoring

This site will give you the basics of Kino to mpeg to
DVD.
