If you enable HTML5 trial here:
http://www.youtube.com/html5

you can view it with any modern browser.
This should work for sure for any video recently updated. It may not 
work for old videos, which have only have flash or other nasty file formats.

So I'd suggest to upload .webm or .ogg files to Youtube. When you embed 
the video on denemo.org, it will be up to the users viewing in the flash 
or html5 player.

Yes, Cinelerra has some licensing limitations. I can't remember if it's 
just about codec or something else. In fact it's not packaged in 
official Debian repository, it's in deb-multimedia.org

I suggest this tutorial:
http://www.g-raffa.eu/Cinelerra/HOWTO/

I've never used Cinelerra seriously, but I know that it's still the best 
non-linear video editor on Linux.
Kdenlive is considered the second best option.
