Hi,
I import an avi or mp4 video (as a test) and Kino converts it to a dv
file. I am then unable to get any sound when trying to play it back
(in all modes) and it runs at a very fast speed. I also had same issue
with KINO on a Mint 17.3 Xfce (32bit) on same laptop as above.
Would appreciate some help/advice to get Kino working on my above setup
or to have confirmation that it works OK with same OS (or in Leap 42.1)
for others. I am assuming since the package is in the Packman repo that
it should be able to work properly and I have it working on an openSUSE
11.4 Gnome 2.32 32bit install (on same laptop plus on an older one).
I do note according to " http://kinodv.org/ " that kino is a dead project and it has not been actively maintained since 2009. That very kino web site recommends one use other applications. Given that, it sort of begs the question - why kino ?
wrt kino and your problem , likely I can not help wrt kino.
But I think the first question anyone will ask is, noting you installed the packman packaged version of kino, have you installed the necessary codecs for playback? What app are you using for the playback? And wrt the sound have you configured pulse audio volume control for your application that you are using to play back the video ?

I did read that page when I initially searched Google for info about
my issue. My fist reaction was to uninstall Kino and look for some other
simple editor to use for trimming/cutting Youtube video clips or dvd
vob files. I tried Avigdemux and was able to successfully do some
cutting on a vob file I wanted to trim down but Kino is/was easier to
use when locating the points for start and finish of the cut, IMHO.
Thus I figured (maybe wrongly) if Kino is in the repo it must be usable
and I should give it another go. In any case, I spent some time to
install 11.4 on a spare partition, where kino works, as my backup
solution.

IMO, it does not require a great deal of effort to install kino and
convert any small avi or mp4 sample file to dv and try
playing/previewing it within kino to see if it works correctly
or does the same as what I experience.

I switched system over to Packman repo and installed what codecs that
pulled in plus whatever codecs other mmedia programs automatically
install as first step. Then I installed all the recommended codecs for
the 1-click 13.2 kde option and all my other mmedia programs seem to
work Ok so far.
>What app are you using for the playback?
Just for clarification, playback is only an issue within Kino in 13.2
(and most likely in Leap as well) and dv files can be played back OK
in vlc, smplayer, kaffeine, etc. There is no issue with conversion.

I have not really configured anything and so far all my other apps play
ok and I have volume control. Though I can not see how or where I can
add kino as an app option and I note that gstreamer is the backend.

I am pleased to say that persistence and stubbornness has its merits at
times. My trusty mate Google led me to ‘padsp’ and Kino now works fine.
FYI: From the padsp man page:
padsp(1)
NAME
padsp – PulseAudio OSS Wrapper
SYNOPSIS
padsp [options] PROGRAM [ARGUMENTS …]
padsp -h
DESCRIPTION
padsp starts the specified program and redirects its access to OSS
compatible audio devices (/dev/dsp and auxiliary devices) to a
PulseAudio sound server.
padsp uses the $LD_PRELOAD environment variable that is interpreted
by ld.so(8) and thus does not work for SUID binaries and statically
built executables.
Equivalent to using padsp is starting an application with
$LD_PRELOAD set to libpulsedsp.so
Cheers
PS: I edited the Kino launcher to ‘padsp kino’ and that does the trick
for me.
