The first thing you should do is upgrading to a newer version of kdenlive. Current version is 0.7.7.1. See:
http://www.kdenlive.org/user-manual/downloading-and-installing-kdenlive/pre-compiled-packages/ubuntu-packages [^]
If the bug still exists please confirm.

I upgraded. The bug still exists.

The problem seems to be related to command line parsing. The list of Jack ports seems not to be split into separate tokens. Recordmydesktop then gets "alsa_pcm:monitor_1 alsa_pcm:monitor_2" as one port name argument.

I've replaced /usr/local/bin/recordmydesktop with a script which simply calls the real recordmydesktop binary. The shell causes parameters to be split. Now recording works here.

So a fix would be to split the Port list at whitespace boundaries in Kdenlive, and there should probably be a hint like "Enter port names separated by spaces".

I will try to provide a patch later.

See this link for the message I sent to the developer mailing list including the patch:
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=4BBEFBB2.6000000%40ttill.de&forum_name=kdenlive-devel [^]

Hope it works now.
If you don't want to wait until the next release the easiest way is probably to use sunab's unstable ppa, which will probably include the patch in the next few days (see: http://kdenlive.org/user-manual/downloading-and-installing-kdenlive/pre-compiled-packages/ubuntu-packages [^])

I use the sunab2 ppa so I should get it with the next weekly build. I'll report back if something still doesn't work. Thanks again
