what to do if Kino fails to import video files

May 13th, 2008
If you are trying to import non-DV files (such as AVI or OGG) into Kino, but you are only getting an error message, probably that's becuase you're missing ffmpeg, a program that is used by Kino to convert video file from non-DV formats to DV.

To fix this you only have to type:

# sudo apt-get install ffmpeg

The most likely is that you don't even have to restart Kino, just go ahead and just load the file, it should be working by now.
