Has anyone accomplished any decent video using Kino? I am having a miserable time with it. Maybe the problem is that my AVI files are from a Fuji digital still camera. They are mjpeg, I believe and I think Kino gags on them. I've tried every setting I can find but every clip I import ends up being reduced to a series of frames that come no where near the actual clip length.
