From a technical point of view, a .flv file is a compressed one, that
means less infos about the file itself, which is the reason why
professional editing tools normally DO NOT support that kind of file,
since quality is obviously compromised.
Then a professional video tool uses an internal decoder/encoder which
"could" coincide with the system "video player", but it's a not a
rule, so you cannot aspect to have any of your video played by your
system as well as edited with cinelerra.
As solucion you can both encode your .flv video to suite cinelerra or
try with a simpler editor, as openshot for example, which is gstreamer
based as totem-gstreamer, so you'll have at the same time a video file
played by your system and edited by your editing tool.

Hi,
I must be missing something.
I've installed cinelerra and I've tried to import a video file by
selecting "load files" from the File menu.
Isn't that the correct way to import a video file and use it as a video clip?
I tried to import a flv file which is encoded with the h264 codec,
and which I can play without any issue in any video player (e.g.
Gnome MPlayer or VLC or Movie Player), so I definitely have all the
needed codecs installed on the system.
Cinelerra says it "can't determine the format, assuming PCM" (which
it obviously isn't) and asks me to select audio format parameters
(such as sampling rates, number of bits etc),
It obviously doesn't import the audio correctly and doesn't import
the video at all.
The question is, is there something I'm doing wrong, or doesn't
really Cinelerra support this kind of video file?
I would expect it to be able to import ANY file that my system is
capable of playing. Isn't it?
thanks
m.
