Thanks Scott So, I clean up everything, including the toc files in my .bcast. When I run it now via a terminal, I get: Render::run: /combinetest/final/jimtest.xml Render::render: starting render farm BC_DisplayInfo::init_window: cannot connect to X server. 'DISPLAY' environment variable not set.
If I run it from a terminal in an X session, it shows: Mpeg3io_open_file: No such file or directory But then continues and finishes successfully. It does look like it opens a dialog box in X windows when it's creating each TOC file (I have two mpg files as source). It seems that that may be the only hold up in this running completely outside of X, any thoughts? Just FYI, what I need to do it repetitively create a combination of two videos side by side. I created a project in cenelerra, positioned the videos, etc, and grabbed the batch and edl files. I have a script that modifies the batch and edl file to update all the filenames and lengths, then I render.

They are stored in the /home/<youruser>/.bcast directory. If you've replaced the original MPEG files in your project source directory with different ones of the same name, sometimes you get "date mismatch" errors. The solution is to delete your .bcast directory or the files within it. Cinelerra will recreate these index files when it reindexes the MPEGs in your project. scott _______________________________________________ Cinelerra mailing list Cinelerra@skolelinux.no https://init.linpro.no/mailman/skolelinux.no/listinfo/cinelerra
