Here is what is suggest. Start kino from a command terminal using the 
command:
$> kino &


Then do your operations on your video to produce the mpeg. When all the 
operations are being done, you may see some messages output in the 
terminal from which you started kino. Look at those messages carefully 
and see what the resulting files being produced (when is the video being 
encoded, when is the audio being encoded, when is the multiplexing being 
done, etc.).

After the above process finished, also see which are the most recent 
files that were produced:
$> ls -altr

List the above observations here.
