Does dvgrab not have a gui? How do I install Kino (I didn't see it in the add/remove programs utility)? When Kino is installed will I be able to setup capture from my camcorder to the hard drive (making it an .avi) using a gui, because that would make it easier? Or does Kino only edit and not have a capture feature? Thanks. From, Mike
