I have a Panasonic AG-DVX100 (DV tape)camera that outputs orginal/source only at res 768x576, and ratio 4:3 PAL

- When I export/render the results are 'VERY' blocky, and not remotely good enough for YouTube.
I have tried KDENLive Templates as 640x480 4:3 and 1280x720 16:19, in an attempt
to closely match.
Are there pixel settings that I am getting wrong, as I left as auto/default ?

Am I going wrong at the dv ripping stage ?
I have ripped to gigantic AVI 1&2 to try and preserve quality & the Mpeg for reasonable
size.

I have asked in FreeNode #kdenlive chat with no responses/traffic.

I am new to ripping and editing.

Any ideas where I could be going wrong ? Thanks so much for replies.

I noticed a post about checking this. And this was my output:

sparxz@linux-wnz4:~> melt -query consumers

consumers:
- sdi
- libdv
- sdl
- sdl_audio
- sdl_preview
- sdl_still
- gtk2_preview
- avformat

It sounds like you might have an incompatibility between some library versions Kdenlive->MLT->FFmpeg. Try rendering to AVI DV and then using another program such WinFF, Handbrake, or Avidemux to transcode to something smaller for upload.

Hi.

Thanks for reply. Apart from Blocky, I also get audio without video.

This is what I get when I try to install "ffmpeg" in YAST.

It would be grate to get KDENLive running, as I hope to use it frequently, and
would like to use it for training others, in video editing.

Thanks
