do we know what the codec is?  .mov (assuming QuickTime) is a container 
format, can have lots of different things inside of it.

Were you able to verify the conversion?   That is do we have a Kino bug 
or is the output file from mencoder no good?

I've had best luck with ffmpeg.  It's a bitch to figure out the options 
that actually work.  Here's my avi2dv script:

   ffmpeg -i $1.avi -s 720x576 -r 25 -y -hq -s ntsc -r ntsc -ac 2 -ar 
48000 $1.dv

The man pages only get you so far - some of these options were from 
message boards and experimentation.
