I've been working on the «Installing from source» articles, set up a fresh Ubuntu 10.10 64bit in VirtualBox and gone through the whole installation process. Most of it at least. I cannot compile ffmpeg with x264. Therefore I couldn't test MLT and kdenlive :P
http://kdenlive.org/user-manual/downloading-and-installing-kdenlive/installing-source Comments welcome. Please improve if something is missing/bad/whatever. Especially regarding the ffmpeg flags; I have no idea whether they are good now. And thanks for the earlier answers which I understand now.
