First...
"Kino is a non-linear DV editor for GNU/Linux. It features excellent integration with IEEE-1394 for capture, VTR control, and recording back to the camera. It captures video to disk in Raw DV and AVI format, in both type-1 DV and type-2 DV (separate audio stream) encodings."
Given that .AVI can house mpeg inside, I'd see what Kino thinks of the file. Name it .AVI and see what it does. Your post didn't detail much of what you've tried. Some will seek documentation before attempting anything. Which I can't help those that insist on such.
Another point is to let Kino grab the content from the Firewire for us.

I use my Sony Cybershot to record videos occasionally and I'd like to be able to edit them together using Kino. In the man pages for Kino it says:
"DV is a special kind of video encoding, commonly used in digital camcorders. Differently coded movies, like DivX or mjpeg, need to be converted to DV before they can be fed into kino."
The videos are in mpeg format, I've been googling my brains out trying to find something to convert the mpegs to dv. Maybe there is something that I'm not getting about the formats. Oh, and I do see a lot of programs that will convert files from dv to whatever format you'd like.
Anyone got any suggestions. They'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
