Hi Ger,

Thanks to email me in private even I receive automatically all bugs reports
(and even sometime I lost few :-( ).
It will be interesting for us to know what you have running OS in a
terminal. The best will be to use gdb (although sometimes the output is
mysterious for us.:-( Could you do like in this thread ?
http://openshotusers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=180
 If not, it will be nice to have the output of the terminal.
The 0.8.8 version of MLT is certainly the best stable version since a long
time.
Thanks a lot to help us to become OS better.
The next version will introduce Libopenshot and a lot of bugs coming from
MLT will disapear. Be patient, even it will be the next version, she won't
come tomorrow. We have a huge work to do for that but we will begin after
Scale11x. Finally.
