[opensuse] KDEnlive doesn't render
Hi, I am using KDEnlive now for the first time since I upgraded from 12.1 to 12.3 and I have a bit of a problem. When i try to render a project to file, first of all, a video preview window appears - what didn't before. Then the window shows in big and pixely writing "INVALID" in the background, while subtitles and such are shown correctly. The render job window shows "estimated time" pretty much deceasing in real time but stopping at 00:02 left while melt is continuing to be busy in the background. I let it run for 2 hours, then cancelled it. The rendering job was a 4:48 minutes short h.264 clip where I put some titles and then wanted to render it out to h.264. I ran KDEnlive from the console to see if there's any suspicious output but there wasn't. It seems to start the rendering and stuff normally. Does anybody have an idea what's going on there? And why do I get that rendering preview window anyways? -Stefan -- (o_ Stefan Gofferje | SCLT, MCP, CCSA //\ Reg'd Linux User #247167 | VCP #2263 V_/_ Heckler & Koch - the original point and click interface

I'm afraid for the moment I can't offer any help except to back you up by saying I had this exact same problem a few months ago. I don't recall what fixed it in the end but I'll have a think. It may have been on 12.2, and I suspect in fact I never really fixed it, since it was whilst I was still using my old machine, a very ancient laptop that had radeon graphics driver issues and was incapable of playing most types of video files during the last couple of openSUSE releases I ran on it. Which version of openSUSE are you using, and do you have an old ATI card by any chance?

Found it!!! KDEnlive was still configured to use MELT5 - which seemed to have been in Packman for 12.1 but not for 12.3 and the version which comes from Suse - of course - doesn't support h.264 de- or encoding. Solution: Install MELT6 from Packman(!) and configure KDEnlive to use MELT6 instead of MELT5.

12.3 (don't trust 13.1 yet) and I have an NVidia GTX560 with the NVidia proprietary drivers. -S -- (o_ Stefan Gofferje | SCLT, MCP, CCSA //\ Reg'd Linux User #247167 | VCP #2263 V_/_ Heckler & Koch - the original point and click interface
