Hey all,

Now that I'm working with cinelerra again (from debian multimedia) I
noticed a few strange things that did not occur while I was running an
older version in etch.

* GUI freezes when not running as sudo. Actually I'm now running
ffmpeg2theora to convert a dv file to ogg/theora and cinelerra will not
start as root either. Now that the convert it done cinelerra starts
again as usual. Seems that the GUI freezes when there is not enough CPU
available to cinelerra?

* Playback appears broken. I just started a new project and imported a
plain raw dv file. If I try and play from an arbitrary point then
playback does not appear to work. Cinelerra will render a few frames
(slowly as when rendering output) and then jump back to the seeked
frame. Then play those frames again. The longer I leave it the further
the playback gets along, but always frame by frame slow and always jumps
back to the point at which playblack was initiated. Scrubbing the video
track works fine. Seems to be an indexing issue, is this done with DV files?

I can easily work around the first issue, but as for the second I'm lost.

I've tested with quicktime and dv files, of various sizes and lengths.
The only files I seem able to playback as I used to are movs constructed
of jpeg sequences. Files with temporal compression seem to exhibit this
behaviour. Any hints?

This is on a debian lenny machine AMD64 3200+ running 2.6.25 #1 SMP in
32bit mode.

Thanks,
B. Bogart
