Comment 4 for bug 481500

at the time, i did. i listed the version installed at the bottom of my first post.
since my last post i have tried a few things: removed everything (openshot, mlt, ffmpeg, x264) completely. then i started over with the build wizard. once i realized that the build wizard tells you the wrong path to run openshot from, i got it open and then had a problem where it crashed at the end of encoding Youtube-HD preset. then i removed everything again and re-enabled the developer ppa and installed from there. openshot was then crashing on startup. i then removed everything again, disabled the developer ppa and reenabled the experimental ppa and installed from there. i had was at the same point as i was with my first post, nothing had changed. then i found references saying to install all of the "unstriped" libav packs, so i did that (pretty much everything that has -unstripped in synaptic). now i don't get the x264 error, but i get the libfaac error:

i tried the metacafe preset and had no errors, and perfectly rendered video. metacafe uses libmp3lame, so i then rerendered with the Youtube-HD preset but changed the audio to use libmp3lame, and it rendered perfectly:

i tried your command and i get "melt: command not found"
also, the video files from my zi8 are in .MOVs, but i don't know if that'll matter. i do have a .mp4 from my latest rendering with Youtube-HD wth libmp3lame.
