I gave kdenlive a good work out on the weekend. I did discover a memory leak with inigo (which belongs to mlt). In essence, for rendering (with kdenlive) videos of 10 minutes or longer, on a PC with 2GB of RAM, there is a serious risk of all memory being consumed during "rendering" by the memory leak.
But typically I keep my videos less than 10 minutes, so while worrisome, this is not a blocking problem. I summarized my experiences with KDENLIVE (over the weekend) here: http://forums.opensuse.org/applications/386941-kdenlive.html#post1858184 Versions of mlt and kdenlive that I have installed are: mlt-0.3.0-0.pm.1 mlt++-0.3.0-0.pm.1 kdenlive-0.6.0-2192.pm.svn20080520 Overall, despite some hiccups, I am still very happy with kdenlive. Thanks for all your efforts. I can go to the kdenlive forum and raise a "bug report" on my observations, if this is deemed to be helpful.
