Are you sure you imported the videos at all? (That is, are you sure you copied them from your digital camera to your computer?) F-Spot doesn't support importing videos (bug 104807).

Try searching your home folder.

cd /home; sudo find . -iname "*.jpg" > ~/output.txt; sudo find . -iname "*.png" >> ~/output.txt; gedit ~/output.txt

Will show the image files, should give clues

Considering that video files are rarely PNG's and never JPEG's, that's worth trying...but if you can find out what video format your camera uses and search for the appropriate file extension, that's more likely to turn something up.

ok then change the command

cd /home; sudo find . -iname "*.mpg" > ~/output.txt; sudo find . -iname "*.avi" >> ~/output.txt; sudo find . -iname "*.mov" >> ~/output.txt; gedit ~/output.txt

You get the idea

sheesh
