As far as I can see *every* dv file can cause the problem.  But there are no 
problems when I choose another file (for importing). The strange thing is 
that it is possible that at first a dv file loads without a problem and then 
maybe even a second dv file loads correctly and then when again loading the 
first file it may go wrong.

I have the impression that the problem has to do with the preview when 
choosing the file.
In the version 0.9.0 I do not get the preview immediately or not at all. 
Maybe when I choose a second file I get the preview and going back to the 
first file (at first without preview) then gets a preview. However, also by 
just clicking on a file (without really opening it) can also give a crash. 
In all case very soon Kino crashes...

One of the files I use is pond.dv 
(http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/libdv/pond.dv?download).

It seems that when I choose the same dv file (also the second or third 
time), there is no problem. Only when loading the second (or maybe the third 
...) file, different from the first file gives a crash. I can load pond.dv 
many times in succession, although I do not see any preview (which should 
happen as far as I know).


To sum up:

1) the problem *only* occurs with dv files or project files
2) it is not specific for a certain file
3) it doesn't occur every time, but very often, mostly (always?) at second 
or third files
4) maybe the problem has to do with the preview, Kino crashes already before 
opening a file

I have also dyne:bolic with version 0.8.0 of Kino. Then I have no problem 
opening a dv file
(I use the same dv files).

I'm not familiar with downgrading! So I can not tell you whether downgrading 
helps. If you can give me kino.deb of the previous version (or can tell 
where to find it) I will try.

Please let me know if I can be of any further help.

Bye,
