This makes me think there is something horribly wrong with your mlt instalation. If melt can't play a simple mpeg file, then nothing else is going to work either. As one last sanity check, you could play a known good file. I just tested this one my self on my system. Run: # wget http://hubblesource.stsci.edu/sources/video/clips/details/images/centaur_1.mpg # melt centaur_1.mpg This plays smooth video for me on my system. >>There are precompiled binarys for all major platforms available here (look at >>the downloads section on the right): >>http://www.shotcut.org/ > >There's no pre-compiled binary for RedHat or CentOS.

I guess it might be a little more effort then. May not be worth the work. >Any ideas how I can get melt to work? Right now I'm thinking there is something wrong with your installation.

If you run: # melt -query consumer=avformat You will get a massive list of options for the avformat consumer. In there, you will find: - identifier: pix_fmt title: Pixel format type: string description: See 'ffmpeg -pix_fmt list' to see a list of values. Normally, this is not required, but some codecs support multiple pixel formats, especially chroma bit-depth. An example would be: #melt -consumer avformat:input.avi pix_fmt=yuv411p But there isn't much use in trying a bunch of options until we are confident that your installation is working properly. ~Brian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ See everything from the browser to the database with AppDynamics Get end-to-end visibility with application monitoring from AppDynamics Isolate bottlenecks and diagnose root cause in seconds.
