Well Kino is like a video work horse on Linux. It supports accurate DV capture and playback and is quite similar to Sceneanalyser and boast features that are not available in any dedicated stand alone capture program. Apart from capture it also supports excellent encoding features.
HandBrake on the other hand is the portable media king. It also cuts excellent web optimized videos.
Compiling Both the programs is as easy as walk down the garden.
So what do you need to do first.

First and foremost follow the steps 1 to 3 as outlined here. If you have already done so, then Ignore this.
Now the Basics.
Download Source from: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/kino/kino-1.3.4.tar.gz
Extract it to your favorite directory. Navigate into it. and then type:

./configure
make
sudo make install

That’s it. you can now run Kino by simply typing kino in the terminal or from the menu.
So you thought it was complicated right. Hand Brake is even more easy.

Create a directory HandBrake:
mkdir HandBrake
navigate into it:
cd HandBrake
svn co svn://svn.handbrake.fr/HandBrake/trunk handbrake
./configure

Now navigate into the folder build
cd build
make -j4
sudo make install

That’s it
You should now see the icon in your applications/Sound and Video menu.
Have fun.
