Jean-Francois is the one to answer those questions; but my status has changed:
1. tried to upgrade from 0.15.0, but also ran into problems, reported here: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686343 ; I agree with J-F's answer ( = cannot be done for a Ubuntu 11.10 environment..); IMHO the Pitivi web-site should be updated to reflect what can be used where.. 2. Meanwhile, I tried out Openshot (sorry Pitivi guys...but it served my needs for 1 of the clips), & ran into a similar 'seems hung' issue, see here for all the gory details: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot/+bug/1067328. I have stepped away from trying to debug that for now, but there is 1 error at least in the code (in video.py, there is a test 'if floating_point == 100.0' that will fail), and IMHO the issue is not in the Openshot specific code, but somewhere like the MLT libraries.. 3. During all this, some of the packages on this system got upgraded; specifically (I think): # cat 2012-10-13.231214.log Commit Log for Sat Oct 13 23:12:14 2012 Installed the following packages: pitivi (0.15.0-0ubuntu1) # cat 2012-10-13.235120.log Commit Log for Sat Oct 13 23:51:20 2012 Completely removed the following packages: pitivi # cat 2012-10-17.142653.log Commit Log for Wed Oct 17 14:26:53 2012 Removed the following packages: libmlt4 python-mlt3 Upgraded the following packages: libmlt++3 (0.7.4-3) to 0.8.2-0ubuntu0~sunab~oneiric1 libmlt-data (0.7.4-3) to 0.8.2-0ubuntu0~sunab~oneiric1 melt (0.7.4-3) to 0.8.2-0ubuntu0~sunab~oneiric1 Installed the following packages: libmlt5 (0.8.2-0ubuntu0~sunab~oneiric1) python-mlt5 (0.8.2-0ubuntu0~sunab~oneiric1) # cat 2012-10-18.140406.log Commit Log for Thu Oct 18 14:04:06 2012 Installed the following packages: pitivi (0.15.0-0ubuntu1) 4. surprise surprise; pitivi 0.15.0 now seems to work...(ie it looks like I can shorten the original offending clip without causing pitivi to hang...can't be sure I am using exactly the same codecs though..). 5. If I get a chance to try & succeed at cleaning up the package dependencies etc on this machine (aptitude reports that the python-mlt3 & 5 packages are broken..) I will see if I can revert to the state when I first tried pitivi, reproduce the bug, then see exactly which library update (appears to) fix the issue.. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #686343 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=686343 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to pitivi in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/707239 Title: rendering does not complete Status in “pitivi” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Binary package hint: pitivi PiTiVi 0.13.5, Ubuntu 11.04 (wait, what?? I thought this was 10.10, and it's January...well, anyway) I assembled a 15 minute video, and put a couple JPEG titles at the end, fading the last one out. I want to show the movie on a laptop and projector, so I tried AVI out. I hit render, the movie plays fine and the progress bar tells me how much time I have left, but I get to "About one second left" ....................then it hangs until I cancel. I haven't found any encoders that actually work, but I'm going down the list.
