I would like to correct my previous statement. There are two packages in synaptic that I uninstalled before my adventures with compiling began: 1) cinelerracv-gl (version 2.1.1-git090131akirad2) 2) cinelerra-generic (version 1:2.1.0-1svn20081017akirad2) If I install only cinelerracv-gl, then the yuv4mpeg stream works fine with both mpeg2enc and ffmpeg. However, playback of video in the viewer and compositor is messed up. It seems like it keeps jumping back several frames as it is playing. If I install both packages, then the yuv4mpeg stream works fine with mpeg2enc but I get errors with ffmpeg (see below). But in this case, playback is perfect. yuv4mpeg stream w/ ffmpeg errors. I get the following line repeated 4 times. int YUVStream::write_frame(uint8_t**):write_frame() failed: system error (failed read/write) I have the latest svn of ffmpeg installed.
