Hi all,

I am trying to use Kdenlive 0.7.7 as pre-installed with SimplyMepis 8.5 AMD64. When I go to add a video clip to the project tree I receive the error:

Clip /home/.../001.dv
is missing or invalid. Remove it from project?

This is true of any video file type I try to add to the project, dv, xvid or other.

Any ideas where I need to start troubleshooting?

Thanks, JJM

Looks like you have troubles with your mlt or ffmpeg installation.
Do the clips work with melt (command line: "melt filename")?

Thanks for the reply,

I tried "melt filename" and received:

$ melt capture001.dv
Failed to load "capture001.dv"

I think mlt uses libdv for en- and decoding DV. Make sure you have this one installed.
Do other file formats work with melt?

MLT uses FFmpeg libavformat by default for DV decoding, and libdv as a fallback.
Run 'melt -query producers' in a terminal and report the output here.
Also, try 'ldd /usr/lib/mlt/libmltavformat.so' and see if there are broken linkages to dependent libs.

Your melt -query output looks fine. This looks like a bad build of the Mepis MLT package. Maybe trying building from source package or request rebuild.
