What I did in the end:

>From kino, export video as 9456 jpeg's and a .wav file (I use kino to
capture from firewire, but it's native .avi format is not parsed by
other things).

Then, from bash, do:

  mencoder \*.jpg -mf on:fps=25   -vop scale -zoom  -o ../fred3.avi  -ovc lavc -lavcopts vcodec=mpeg4:vhq:vbitrate=3200 -audiofile ../sound.wav -oac pcm

and then


 mencoder ../fred3.avi -ovc copy -o ../bert3.avi -audiofile ../sound.wav -oac pcm

(In the directory with the .jpg's; the sound is in the parent directory
as sound.wav)

Once the DIVX player is installed, windows plays this fine.

HTH,

cheers, Rich.
