How do I go about adding supported filetypes?

I have a Panasonic camera that creates .MOD files. AFAICT these are fairly ordinary mjpeg files but I can't figure out how to get them into kdenlive. They don't show up in the clips file browser. If I rename them .avi, they import just fine and work just like .avi files.

I've set up the file types via kcontrol; no joy. What do I need to do to get kdenlive to treat .MOD like .AVI?

Thanks,

you can drag and drop them into the project (it's not a solution, i know)

Unfortunately kdenlive seems to treat those files as static images...

If I leave them as .mod files, kdenlive inserts the clip with the appropriate runtime but won't play them. If I rename them .avi, kdenlive will insert and play them just fine....

Bummer...

so, if you are really desperate and don't have that many clips, extract the audio and then import those files too... double the work and double the trouble, but if there's no other way...

Thanks for the tip regarding .mod files. I have actually been converting them to .dv with ffmpeg and am glad that this is not actually necessary.

Another container format I have problems with is .ogg, seeing that Kdenlive treats all .ogg files as audio files. As a workaround, renaming the files to .ogm does work.
