does melt play the file correctly if you don't try to extract a segment? Try: # melt inputfile.AVI It should play correctly. >Many of the input formats I tried were raw formats were each frame was >stored whole and the pixels were in a YUV or RGB format.

The raw formats can be tricky because sometimes, depending on the container, you have to specify the pixel format as a command line parameter. That's why I suggested mpeg2. >If I try to play the file to the screen without specifying a consumer, >melt usually displays a single image, then no other.
