The pitivi is freezing with some *. mpg files.

The traceback has been fixed upstream, see https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/pitivi/issues/2192

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I was not able to complete a render after this crash. I did not try reloading the program and trying again.
