Heyho,

I've got huge problems with Kdenlive.
Whe I try to import files from a certain folder Kdenlive crashes with a segfault.
The files are .mov and .mts.. I cant import those files even if I copy them to another place.
Other files of that type can be imported without problems.
I was able to import these files until a couple of days before the crashes started!
Please help me. I realy need those files :\

Can you play the files with MLT, from a terminal:


melt myclip.mov

nope

[max@Grosser abiball]$ mlt-melt 01Orchestermusik.mov
Segmentation fault

Ok, then the problem is either in MLT or FFmpeg. Make sure that you have the latest MLT version available for your distro, and also try playing the file with FFmpeg:

ffplay myclip.vob

I'm running on a fedora 15 with melt 0.7.0 and ffmpeg 0.6.90

When I try to run it with ffmpeg its the same error!

I have the same problem (Kdenlive crashes) when importing a Canon .MOD file or mpeg2 file. I can import, play and edit mpeg4 files in Kdenlive, though.

Playing the mpeg2 with ffplay and vlc is fine, but playing with melt causes a "Segmentation fault".

I am running Archlinux, mlt 0.72 and the latest ffmpeg and Kdenlive 0.8.1.

There are already some issues in mantis reporting the same or similar problems. See issues #2120, #2137 and #2145

Just downgraded mlt to version 0.7.0-1 and the import of mpeg2 files works again. Seems to be a mlt 0.7.2 related issue.

I've also had problems with the Fedora 15 packages (64bit). Instead I've been using the build script and it is working wonderfully. Just did a build last week and very solid. You may want to give it a try although it is tedious the first time getting all the dependencies right. But make sure to remove all mlt/frei0r/ffmpeg/kdenlive packages first and then manually search through system to look for remnants of older installs.

Someone should probably report a bug to Fedora, but I'm not sure how to do that since it is RPMfusion that supplies them.

Hope that helps. Geoff

Your crash is a known bug between gcc 4.6 and some SSE2 assembler in MLT. It has been fixed and there is a workaround. See comments here:
