I installed Kdenlive from repo and tried from sources and the same problem. When rendering I see only empty file (0 bytes) and notice Rendering of /home/jakub/kdenlive/promocja.mp4 aborted, resulting video will probably be corrupted. and
[NULL @ 0x7fe4940c6de0] Requested output format 'mp4' is not a suitable output format or on libdv profile rendering starts but at the end hangs and nothing happens. On 0.9.10 I don't see many codecs. I see it on earlier versions e.g. 0.9 or 0.9.6 but I can't use it. I only see notice codec is not supported or the same notice that I see in 0.9.10.

Could you help me? Could you prepare full version that contains every needed libraries and codecs in compatible versions?

Try to install kdenlive and its dependencies from packman repository (http://packman.links2linux.org/), which is at least mentioned in opensuse external package repo list. Some years ago, I had no problems with packman and kdenlive...

The ffmpeg, mlt, kdenlive etc. that ship with stock openSUSE won't have support for a lot of codecs, so yeah, you need to add packman.

The simplest way is to go:

sudo zypper ar -f http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packm ... SUSE_13.2/ packman (adds the packman repo)
sudo zypper mr -p 90 packman (ups the priority of it so the packman stuff is used over the strict-free world of openSUSE)
sudo zypper dup (upgrades the system)

This will get you all the extra codecs and other not strictly free stuff openSUSE doesn't package.

Thank you vary much for your help. Update helped. The only problem is than I don't see on the list many formats (e.g. avi). In older versions e.g. 0.9.6 I see it. Is it possible to use avi formats (e.g. Xvid) on 0.9.10?

The list?

You should be able to use pretty much any format (like avi) and codec (like mpeg4) you like.

I would generally recommend mkv as a format and h264 as the codec though. AVI and mpeg4 are so last season*.

*By which I mean not as good as the more modern and less restricting mkv and h264.

Maybe the OP refers to the (check) list of formats actually supported shown in the old Kdenlive configuration wizzzard in the 0.9.x series?(*)

If yes, kzez, did you rerun the Kdenlive configuration wizard? If you already did then you may not have updated your ffmpeg to a version which actually supports those missing formats.

(*) It bugged me so much, I'm thankful it has been put into the background with Kdenlive 15.x.

I must be really getting old in case there is now a h264 container. Last time I checked Wikipedia it had only the MP4 container (file extension .mp4) and H.264 was a video encoding format. But times are changing, and Wikipedia seems to be getting old with me...

Just a note:
kdenlive 0.9.10 does show avi and xvid in the configuration wizard on my openSUSE 13.2 system.

Although, when I checked after reading this thread, it didn't because I had crippled libav* packages from another OBS repo (not Packman) installed.
They were pulled in by the recent ffmpeg update to 3.0 because they had a higher rebuild number than the ones from Packman (and the same version).
After switching them to Packman's version, avi and libxvid do show up.

So if this is still a problem, run "zypper dup --from Packman" to make sure you have the ffmpeg libs from there.

Although if you gave Packman a higher priority than all other repos, this shouldn't happen...

I never said h264 was a container. I said it was a codec. And I didn't even mention mp4, did you mean to quote someone else?

No, I don't quoted someone else. I just quoted your sentence about mkv, which is a container, and h264, which is a video encoding. In which sense H.264 is less restricting than ... what?

I'm still not sure why you're responding, I'm not sure we're communicating well, and this is off topic anyway.
