[karmic] pitivi won't render project... or worse

[Joe Liau]

Binary package hint: pitivi

1) Ubuntu 9.10
2) pitivi:
  Installed: 0.13.3-2
3) I go to render the project ( a mixture of ogv, avi, mpeg, jpg, m4a files, which edit and play very well IN pitivi) expecting a playable video to render.

4) The render status bar does not move, and the output file does not grow. OR in the rare case that the project does render (Seemingly only in PAL with Theora), the output file does not playback well, is missing most of the video, or is in some jumbled order).

I can't find any other video editor that will handle ogv properly. However, this one does not render!

Hi, this sounds a lot like https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=603102
Many users have experienced a problem where rendering did not behave correctly when you loaded a PiTiVi project and tried to render directly, without seeking (moving the playhead) in the timeline first. That issue has been resolved in the development version.
Please test the following: try moving the playhead on the timeline after loading a project file. Rendering should then function normally. If this is the case, then your problem is due to issue #603102.

[Joe Liau (joe)]

Thanks. I seem to still have the problem for some codec settings, while other ones give me:

gstavidemux.c(4443): gst_avi_demux_loop (): /GstPipeline:pipeline1/GstBin:bin3/GnlComposition:gnlcomposition2/GnlSource:gnlsource3/GstBin:bin5/pitivi+elements+singledecodebin+SingleDecodeBin:pitivi+elements+singledecodebin+singledecodebin0/GstAviDemux:avidemux14:

The terminal output is also exciting:

We suspect that this issue has been fixed in the development version of PiTiVi. If you can provide the project and files used in this project, however, it could be possible to test if that's indeed the case.

[Joe Liau (joe)]

Thanks for the help. I will test out the development version and see how that goes.

[Alexandre Touret (atouret)]

Hello
In my case, I have a final step : pitivi crashes with the following error :

GLib-ERROR **: /build/buildd/glib2.0-2.23.4/glib/gmem.c:175: failed to allocate 256 bytes

Regards

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the issue is fixed in lucid now

[hanzomon4 (hanzomon4)]

No it's not fixed, I'm getting the same behavior in version 0.13.4

[Edward Hervey (bilboed) (bilboed-deactivatedaccount)]

hanzomon4, you'll have to give a backtrace (like in the initial report) of this happening with 0.13.4 in order for this be investigated properly.

[Guillem (guillemsola)]

It renders fine theora+vorbis but not others

[Daniel Hollocher (chogydan)]

I think you should file a new bug

[hnrkg (hnrkg)]

I am experiencing this in maverick as well. I am trying to render a project consisting of single but chopped file.

My output:

hnrkg, please file a separate bug with detailed instructions on how to reproduce the problem.

[Michael A. Phillips (maphilli14)]

I followed the advice above, render as theora and vorbis, move the slider. I still get this error:

Michael, please file a separate bug with detailed instructions on how to reproduce the problem.

[Michael A. Phillips (maphilli14)]

After I cancelled the job (ran without movment for 4+ hours) I got this message:

(pitivi:1426): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: Padname '':src does not belong to element pitivi+elements+singledecodebin+singledecodebin70 when removing

[Tim Kelley (tim-kelley-nola)]

I get the same behaviour on Maverick, except that theora will not even work.

The terminal spits this out when rendering:

[Tim Kelley (tim-kelley-nola)]

UPDATE: I removed the gstreamer fluendo plugin and the problem went away.

[Tim Kelley (tim-kelley-nola)]

update: actually the entire problem, at least for me, seems to be with using mp3 audio in the project. Using wav files obviated the problem.

[Jeff Fortin Tam (kiddo)]

Tim, the not negotiated errors are probably one of these: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=pitivi+not-negotiated
