Some of the newer Puppies won't open VideoLan (VLC)if you are running as root. I guess because it wants to go online for whatever info it can get on DVDs' and such. I wonder if Kino is the same. Try it as user "Spot". Who knows?

I went to Console and entered kino and it said it couldn't find the shared file libavformat.so.52
I found several places I can download it but not sure where to put it when I get it. usr/lib?
The package manager of Puppy should be able to show you the dependencies of packages. Look up the dependencies of Kino and install the packages it is dependent on.

The kino pet is not listed in the puppy package manager therefore no link to the missing libavformat.so.52 for Slacko 5.3 So far, I cannot find the correct libavformat.so.52 version for Slacko 5.3. I did find that so.53, the next version already exists in my usr/lib wish kino would use it.
Have you tried right clicking on libavformat.so.53.4.0 that you say you have and selecting link?
Then change the name of the link to libavformat.so.52 for the link and see if that gets you going.
Also, from a terminal, you can type "ldd kino" and see if it lists any missing dependencies.
