I am unsure of whether it's available in the SL repos, but I am sure you can compile and install.  ffmpeg (http://ffmpeg.org/) is also a great resource for converting from one movie file to another (even audio files too!), so as long as you can output in some sort of movie format from kino (or pitivi!), you could conceivably get ffmpeg to convert it for you.

html5 -> download and/or embed result into presentation.  But looks like 
you needed the file externally and with a little editing.
