After spending another two - three hours, I have found the following
tip! The version of cinelerra I was using was compiled last May 2008
and that version would not work with .AVI files. I checked with yumex
and found a later version dated Nov 2008. I uninstalled the May 2008
version and installed the latest version (2.1-21.git20081103.fc9). This
new version fixes a few bugs, most notability the inability to work
with .avi files. Well lets not celebrate too quickly. Sometimes when I
work with a .avi file on the timeline this error is generated:
I'm not sure what your Linux experience is so forgive me if you are way
beyond this tip - a gotcha that gotme early on with cinelerra.
A install old packaged cinelerra
B compile/install new cinelerra
C install even newer packaged cinelerra
type 'cinelerra' and you end up running version B not version C.
Or some variation on that...
It's worth doing a search through your filesystem for 'cinelerra' copies
if you are not a Linux old-hand and this may have happened. Packaged
versions of cinelerra tend to get installed in /usr/bin and compiled
versions in /usr/local/bin or some other place.
This problem is true with most Linux apps but -for me- Cinelerra was one
of the first apps where I compiled my own and fiddled with multiple
versions to get what I needed.
