I have just pressed the 'report a problem' button, so all the detailed
system data should be uploaded; even though the original install was
from a fairly old Ubuntu distro, it was recently upgraded with the
Ubuntu 'auto-update' to 11.10 that was recently pushed out (reading the
Wikipedia entry on Pitivi, I am wondering if that is what has broken
it.. did not try with the earlier version, and cannot go back..).

I have a ~13MByte .AVI file generated by a Casio camera, and all I am
trying to do is cut off the last few seconds of footage.

Rendering to avi after moving the end time only seems to happen 'very
quick', system appears to hang with the '1 second left' box, but top
does not show any excessive CPU usage anywhere; output file name is
created but of 0 size (about 24% of the hdd is used).

Hit cancel.

Try again, with the above 'work-around' of moving the start time in a
few seconds; this time, the rendering takes a LOT longer (you see the
video in slo mo in the right pane); note that it takes some time to
'skip over' the first few seconds that I have tried to delete by moving
start time; and completes, writing an output file that is a few MBytes
smaller than the original.

BUT .. trying to play the result (using Movieplayer that is I think the
default in this distro), I do not get what I expect... (guess I need to
file a different bug for that, after I have made sure I am driving
pitivi correctly); simply said, you get a few seconds of 'nothing'
(black screen, no audio), then some audio & a 'frozen frame'; then a few
more 'almost disjoint' frames that do not end where I placed the end
point.

I will have a go at collecting the debug logs as described above, and
trying the git version of Pitivi; but since nothing has happened on this
thread for some time, nor the gnome bug, I am wondering what the best
way forward is...
