I'm a new user to Kdenlive.

Here's all I've done so far with it;

1. Load a .avi clip into the project tree. The avi clip size is 1.2
Gb.....I've tried 12 Gb too.

2. I click Play in the Project Monitor and the clip plays for about 1
seconds then the video "breaks up" and freezes.....the the Kdenlive
usually just goes "gray" and crashes.


How can I fix this problem?

If you are using Ubuntu 9.10, try installing libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio.

I installed it.

It didn't have any effective change upon the problem

Provide more information about the AVI besides the file size. "AVI" is vague.
