That's what I thought, but do it's not actually clear to me whether transcode comes with the necessary import/export modules. Certainly, the .so's are in /usr/lib/transcode/, but transcode claims not to know how to handle the dv2 avi's I pulled from my mini-dv cam with kino. I'll give you the exact error message when I get back home. There are other questions, too, like what are the best parameters to get the maximum quality when going from 1 hour dv tape (13Gb of dv2 avi's) to a cdrom sized (650Mb) divx. And what options would give the best probability of being able to play the result on a divx (or vcd) capable dvd player > I tend to use either Transcode, Kino or Gstreamer for this task, depending > on my mood. transcode looks like the most complete, and it's fine my for current purpose, which is to essanetially back up all of my tapes to cdrom.
