Kino appears available in stable, testing and unstable. http://www.apt-get.org is your friend. I believe that kino suggests mjpegtools, which is not in the distro. You can add one of the following line to your sources.list: deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ stable main deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ testing main deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main then apt-get update then apt-get install mjpegtools libmjpegtools0 libmjpegtools-dev Christian Marillat has lots of codecs for quicktime and real and such as well in his repository to its nice to have a sources.list entry for his repository if you are doing multimedia stuff. I have never played with kino, so I am just going on past experience doing simliar things. Let me know if this works or not. -Derek
