Some further info, and two specific questions:
I tried playing a .jpeg file and that displaces.
I can also specify color:red out=25 videofile.mpeg color:green and it
plays the red and green fine but not the mpeg (Or any other video file
I've tried so far.)
I also tried a full path to my mpeg file, and also tried specifying
/melt avformat:/somewhere/here/videofile.mpeg/
None worked.
Question: Is there a command I can type to see if mlt is supposed to be
using ffmpeg to handle video files?
Also, am I correct in my understanding that ffmpeg provides the video
codec support to mlt for a wide range of common video formats?
Thank you very much,
Jesse

Good day,
I am very excited to read about mlt/melt, and and am trying to install
and use it, but may be having some user error.
My understanding is that I should be able to play common video files
with /melt videofile.mpeg/
Unfortunately, it won't work - it just gives usage.
I did compile and install ffmpeg and it works and can play my video files.
mlt does compile just fine, and I tried compiling it with the
following options one at a time, but it never will play my video files.:
|./configure --enable-gpl3 --enable-gpl
--avformat-shared=/big/src/ffmpeg/libavformat/ ./configure
--enable-gpl3 --enable-gpl ./configure|
(Followed by /&& make && make install/ of course)
However, /melt color:green/ plays a green box no problem, and I can
mix and cross fade between different colors and all that.
I'm using the latest slackware 14.2 64 bit for operating system,
I would be most grateful for any clues on what I might be doing wrong
and how to fix.
Thank you and have a great day,
Jesse
