When I try to use Kino I am running into some problems. If I go to
capture click capture my camera starts to play but there is no video
in the Kino screen. I don't know where the file is being saved or how
to save the file I am capturing. After Kino starts to capture Kino
closes with this message:

I don't know what is causing it to close. But the actual camera keeps
on playing after it closes. Any tips on how to get Kino working?
