(Get the code!)
Last night, I remixed the same video that gave me problems in January, to add in a 3 minute avi clip inside it. The original is a 200 MB avi spliced together from a couple other clips and some stills with overdubbed music. The original was 14 minutes, so I should have ended up with a 17 minute movie. NTSC, avi output.
After much fooling around with PiTiVi, and trying my trick of moving the start of the clip a fraction of a second off zero time (which worked in January), I got the old "1 second left" in rendering time which never ends (well, I gave up waiting). I tried different codecs....nothing worked.
This was on the same 'puter that gave me problems in January. I haven't changed anything but kept up with Ubuntu 10.10's upgrades (at least one kernel upgrade in there).
I switched to OpenShot, which was unuseable before because of a worse bug, and that worked for me just fine.
I just tried a chunk of the same movie with PiTiVi at work (also Ubuntu 10.10), cut out all but the intro and credits (stills with fades), and it rendered flawlessly. (2 MB avi file.)
Let me know if you want me to do some more testing. I don't want to go back to splicing VHS tapes together with tape.
