To anyone who might be able to lend me a hand, I've been trying to install Cinelerra-cv for a couple weeks now. I've had to reinstall my operating system several times in the process (so I don't think there's any conflicts), and I would really like it to work.
My problem is, while Cinelerra loads the videos I want it to, it won't play them. When I try to play them, the whole application shuts down with no dialogue, no reason, just *poof* (or occasionally freezes up - which I can't force quit, and the only solution is restarting the computer). This happens when trying to play in either the compositor window or the viewer window. When I click randomly on the video track in the program window, the compositor window usually updates the image (which makes me think it kinda works). I'm trying to import video that I've saved to my computer off of my dv camera. The video is 720p and the codec is H.264 / AVC. The audio it captures is MPEG-4 AAC. I noticed in all the documentation I've read, that I thank you for sharing, that the MPEG-4 audio should be fine. Which leads me to believe it's probably the H.264 that's causing my woes. Do you know if there is any work around for this? If there is anything I could submit to get help? I've been browsing google for days, and most of the links I find either don't help, or go to pages that aren't there. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. I don't know if any of this information will be useful to you, but: I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 32bit. I have an Nvidia graphics card (that I've tried both enabled and disabled) I've installed Cinelerra and Cinelerra-gl. Both install and run fine, but have the same crashing problem. I've also tried changing my video drivers within the application, but to no avail. Again, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! Joey A. Stalone
