You will find kino or mainactor will do what you want.

mainactor is not in portage. If you want it then 

emerge rpm sdl libraw1394 libavc1394

download the mainactor suse rpm from their website

rpm --nodeps mainactor-5.5.7-suse_9.3.i686.rpm    (version may have
changed now)


installs to /opt and puts a link to its binary as /usr/bin/mactor
