Public bug reported: I like Openshot, I think it has a great design, thanks to Jonathan. But I have never been able to use it, because I have an AVC/HD camera, a complicated video format, even for the proprietary windows software included with the camera. In previous versions I could play inefficiently .MTS files, but in the present version 1.4.3 the screen shows white, and the soun stops every second. (I includded a screenshot attachment). The program crashes frequently. Recently I reinstalled Openshot in this computer:

Openshot was installed copying the ppa lines in openshot page, to bash, then sudo apt-get install openshot As far as I know, I did not installed melt alone, It maybe was installed as a dependency when Openshot was installed. It seems that the problem is the melt version, because I can't neither play .MTS videos with $ melt file.MTS Unfortunately Ubuntu freezes the last version of each application in each distribution. It could be the source of the problem, because apt- get does not install the newest melt version. It seems that Jonathan owns a Canon HD camera which records the same video format that has been shown problematic with Openshot and other applications in my system. I hope this helps to improve Openshot. ** Affects: openshot Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "How Openshot looks when playin a MTS track" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1066558/+attachment/3398327/+files/openshot.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenShot Bugs, which is subscribed to OpenShot Video Editor. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1066558 Title: .MTS video does not play in Openshot 1.4.3, some errors reported after running in shell Status in OpenShot Video Editor: New Bug description: I like Openshot, I think it has a great design, thanks to Jonathan.
