Bug Description
Pitivi has the following listed as SUGGESTS:
gstreamer0.
gstreamer0.
gstreamer0.
Also missing: gstreamer0.10-alsa (will not start without it alsasink & osssink error)
As such, they are not installed. They should really be included as DEPENDENCIES. Without them, Pitivi cannot work with (if I recall correctly) mpegs and avis, both of which are popular media formats.
Linux experts will eventually find that out, but a regular user would not, sending Pitivi to the trash. It is bad for Pitivi & Ubuntu... just another piece of software in the repos that does not work! Frustrating & Not user friendly...
This is very easy to solve & hard disk size & bandwidth is not a issue nowadays. Another bug was filed about gstreamer0.10-alsa!
Pitivi really needs to install everything most users need.
Thanks.
