Quits responding after about a minute

[John-TN]

Ubuntu 9.04, intel quad 64, 32 bit dependencies, Manually loaded the program after first doing the dependencies.

Imported 3 AVCHD files (1440x1080) each under 1 min.; play set to 200 sec.

i saved the project so i can recall it. Each time i play it, it gets part way through and hangs up, the OpenShot screen turns gray and the program quits responding.

It does the same thing each time i restart and reload the project.

I tried reloading the OpenSpot deb with no change in the results.

Requested additional feature: Having the add icon stay at the directory the previous file was loaded from

Hi John,

Are you able to try with some non-AVCHD files? We need to find out if this is a general problem with your install/system or is specific to file type..

Thanks,
Andy.

The problem seems to involve the player. I have made 2 dvd videos involving multiple avchd files from a recent trip. As long as i do not play, i can add files and export to either dvd or flicker. But shortly after I use the player, the program gray's out and locks up.

An additional problem cropped up after i had exported the project to dvd. I tried to export it to another format, and it immediately locked up. I did a force close and reopened the program and the project. When i tried to export to another format it even locked up ubuntu.

I will try the play situation with some other video formats and let you know.

I get the same lockup with avi's. It plays about 15 sec's or so, the player locks up and a few sec's later the program grays out.

I can play the vob's and mov's produced by the program with mplayer with no problem. One is 35 mins and the other 47.

i ran the vista memory diagnostic test on that computer, no problems found.

Can you try playing the video files using the ffmpeg & MLT players?

From the terminal type:

ffplay file_name.avi

melt file_name.avi

Thanks,
Andy.

Hi Andy,

The *melt* plays an AVI just fine, the *ffplay* doesn't play at all.

This seems to suggest a problem with your ffmpeg installation - are you able to check if there is another ffmpeg version installed?

[John-TN (jharris2k)]

HI Andy,

It appears i only have one installed, "3.0.svn20090303-1" According to Synaptic

Maybe you need to install libsdl1.2debian-pulseaudio.
