For some time at least. My ffmpeg version (Ubuntu karmic, SVN-r19352-4:0.5+svn20090706-2ubuntu2) requires libfaac (it's actually libavformat that needs it). If this is a particular old version, maybe the code in renderer.cpp can be changed such that it does aac->libfaac if it detects the libfaac in the params list. So just the other way around. I had read on forums that libfaac was the new standard instead of aac, so I assumed profiles.xml needed changing. > >> Also, it's quite annoying that you need to restart kdenlive after >> running the Config Wizard in order to pickup the changes of installed >> codecs.

Maybe that's not the right workflow anyway. But when I add a format in the transcode tab of the configure dialog, it does not show up in Renderer. So it was the only way for me to play with adjusting codec parameters. I also don't like the in-row editing of the ffmpeg parameters in transcode tab, I loose overview. I'd rather have a multi-line dialog popup that can show the complete command line in one glance. > >> I was also hit by the sound issue on Ubuntu Karmic which is broken badly >> (kdenlive freezes during playback) when the wrong deb packages are >> installed.

Does that sound correct? If you turn off the info panel by > clicking the i button does it scroll as you expect? No. It does not make a difference. You can remove the info tab and shrink the size of the dialog, then you'll have the same effect again. Peter
