Hello This is just a little update on my quest to get cinelerra working.
The instability was in somepart due to a fault with my graphics card, in fact it wasnt seated correctly in the slot. Reinstalled lenny this morning imported a dv file from my camera and cinelerra seems to be rock solid and can export to all formats dvd included (although the quality isnt quite right). So at the moment I am quite happy. I just have to import some old analog video and rectify that. I imagine that might cause some problems with formats but only time will tell. All in all pretty happy at the stability at the moment. Dan On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 8:58 PM, Daniel Harris <[email protected]>wrote: > > > On Tue, Jan 20, 2009 at 7:40 PM, B.
