Tyler, I would seriously reconsider converting your DV files to MJPEG as the quality will be diminished. Any further processing will diminish the quality even further. I too was miffed by kino when I first started doing dv editing and I thought it would be simpler if I could just use glav to edit chop up my dv files, but that was not an option. I am probably just as fast editing with kino now, maybe even faster than I ever was with glav. I record anywhere from 2-4 hours of TV everyday and I use kino to cut out the commercials. If this takes more than a couple of minutes per show, it gets very tedious. I don't need transitions, fades, wipes or anything fancy. Just straight cuts, which kino can do very easily once you get used to the key combinations. Even faster yet, I have my kino using a Shuttlepro controller with all the edit buttons, plus a multispeed jog/shuttle. You can see what I mean here: http://www.contouravs.com/cav_shuttlepro_info.html As far as I know, glav does not have an option for an external controller like this (although honestly I haven't used glav in a very long time). Anyway, my whole point is, give kino a chance. It works very well for me, although I hated the interface when I first started using it. The "mark in, mark out" way to work makes much more since than kino's strange "split, split, backup, delete" method.
