sdl_image is an image file loader > [19:51] <dust__> when I run that as su I get this > [19:51] <dust__> - sdl - sdl_audio - sdl_preview - sdl_still These do audio/video output, but you are just a user.

This appears to be some permission issue with SDL and its access to things. Maybe you need to add your account to some groups. Does ffplay at the command line work? It too uses SDL. If that does not work either, then perhaps 'strace melt -query consumers'. strace is a very verbose output, but it might show what it is failing to access. > [20:14] <dust__> yeah Ive been waiting a long time for an answer > [20:15] <dust__> please tell me what the output above means briefly > [20:17] <xzhayon> well, that shows the producers and consumers available > to melt In layman terms, it displays the output plugins available in mlt. -- +-DRD-+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Lotusphere 2011 Register now for Lotusphere 2011 and learn how to connect the dots, take your collaborative environment to the next level, and enter the era of Social Business. http://p.sf.net/sfu/lotusphere-d2d _______________________________________________ Mlt-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mlt-devel
