But I found the web page with a list of kino's tools that kino uses, and installed all that would, and now the export menu is all alive and apparently well..
But, it turns out that aliexpress/alibaba has a broken refund request page, it takes all the data, including the filename of a 220 megabyte .avi I went to the trouble of making, but at the top of the page, where you are supposed to be able to click on "open a dispute" and fill out the rest of the page, those buttons do not respond, nor do they indicate why. So I am screwed, and will have to contest the charge on my card. Except my bank can't either for that charge, I just called them.. This is the 3rd time I've been screwed, total now north of $125, by this outfit over the last couple years, aliexpress/alibaba. It will NOT happen again. > regards > -- t Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
