Hi Marcin,

are you sure you have activated the X11-xv display in cinelerra and that you
have some sort of video acceleration? 1fps sounds very slow. I use a dual core
AMD64 and have playback rates around 20fps on a ATI Radeon X300 using the open
source driver. (for 1080i from Sony HDR FX-1). My friend and partner in this
film project had more playback problems and achieved about 8 fps. So we indeed
managed to get "the trick" to work. I even wrote a python script to exchange
the refs in Session xml, but then it was not so urgent to apply all of this
to the real project (and I myself am happy with my 20fps and didn't even bother
to install the closed source drivers from ATI).

My aproach was mainly as follows:
 - calculate a proxy version from each source MPEG (i.e. for each tape)
 - load it as resource into the cinelerra session as well, using the normal
   gui to load media. Thus cinelerra generates the necessay entries itself.
   If we drag a clip from the proxies to the video tracks, of course they will
   be much smaller (i.e. we let the track temporary buffer at 1440x1080)
 - use the python script to change *only the reference in the video track(s)*
 - and walk over the camera automation with the script and multiply each
   automation node with a scale factor.
 - re-open the modified XML in cinelerra and work with the proxies.
 - do the reverse prior to rendering.

If you are interested I could provide the commands to calculate the proxy
versions with ffmpeg and provide additional info. At the time we tested all
of this, there were some (very minor) problems with the XML of the session 
files.

Regards,
Hermann Vosseler

PS: I see from your email, that you are located in southern germany as well?
I am living in munich...
