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")?
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.
I have the same problem on Simply Mepis 8.5 (Lenny + 2.6.32 kernel. The output of "melt --query producers" gives:
---
producers:
- avformat
- avformat-novalidate
- pango
- pixbuf
- pgm
- qimage
- kdenlivetitle
- frei0r.ising0r
- frei0r.lissajous0r
- frei0r.nois0r
- frei0r.onecol0r
- frei0r.partik0l

- libdv

- abnormal
- color
- colour

- noise

- xml

- kino
- vorbis
- sdl_image
...
And "ldd /usr/lib/mlt/libmltavformat.so" does not show broken links.
Some clues?
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.
Well, the problem is solved. Had to remove some packages (as avidemux) using old libraries (0.46) from lenny. Now, reinstallig kdenlive with the appropriate library (0.5.0-3) all works fine again.
Many thanks.
Thanks for the reply,
I tried "melt filename" and received:
$ melt capture001.dv
Failed to load "capture001.dv"
