So do I from years past. But I found the web page with a list of kino's 
tools that kino uses, and installed all that would, and now the export 
menu is all alive and apparently well..

But, it turns out that aliexpress/alibaba has a broken refund request 
page, it takes all the data, including the filename of a 220 
megabyte .avi I went to the trouble of making, but at the top of the 
page, where you are supposed to be able to click on "open a dispute" and 
fill out the rest of the page, those buttons do not respond, nor do they 
indicate why.  So I am screwed, and will have to contest the charge on 
my card. Except my bank can't either for that charge, I just called 
them..

This is the 3rd time I've been screwed, total now north of $125, by this 
outfit over the last couple years, aliexpress/alibaba.  It will NOT 
happen again.
