hi etienne
it should be kdenlive_0.9.2.dmg not kdenlive_0.9.2dmg
if this is the problem
then re name the file as kdenlive_0.9.2.dmg it should work
if this did not work
then follow the bellow steps

1. right click the kdenlive_0.9.2.dmg
2. open kdenlive_0.9.2.dmg using the unarchiver
3. double click the kdenlive-0.9.2.mpkg
you should be good to go

ask me if this two methods do not work

i regret for delayed reply

After hours of trying to get kdenlive working, first with macports and then with your package, I'm giving up. Do you have an uninstaller for the package?

Hello Hariram,

thank you for the detailed description of installation, but unfortunately I do not get it started.

I have
- Mac Os 10.8.2
- installed xquartz 2.7.3
- installed kdenlive, downloaded from your linked website

When I try to start kdenlive.app I get an error message: "drkonqi was finished unexpected" (Report screenshot can be sent)

Any idea, why it does not working?
Thank you for any tips in advance

Just in case you haven't made headway with this, nor given up.

I had the very same reaction, running a very similar machine and setup. Try running the post-install commands from here: http://www.kdenlive.org/download-mac. That worked for me.

Good luck.

I'm surprised that the installation of Kdenlive on OS X is a problem for some users. I use the well known Macports repository for installations of any kind of Linux/Unix software and most of the time this works without any problems. The installation of Kdenlive is relative simple because the only command you have to install this package is "sudo port install kdenlive". After that, all dependencies are calculated automatically (a whole plethora of Linux binaries will installed). That installation will take a few hours, because not only Kdenlive will be compiled. But after that, it works "out of the box".

Maybe if someone has a problem with the Macports installation of Kdenlive I can assist.
