For the popup windows, try deleting (backup if you wish...) the file at ~/.kde/share/config/kdenliverc
and re-running kdenlive. For me, all windows appear embedded into Kdenlive fine under KDE 3.2 As for my time - when I say I don't have any free time, I actually mean it. At work I have a major deadline November 2nd that cannot in any circumstances be missed. I am quite happy to give more people developer access on the project so that I do not become a bottleneck to development. It should be noted that piave and kdenlive, although separate projects, have been developed together and released simultaneously. If there is a year between release dates, then that is because either Kdenlive and/or piave was not ready for a release.

Here is my daily ffmpeg compilation script: cvs update -C -P -d make clean ./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --enable-mp3lame --enable-vorbis --enable-faad --enable-faac --enable-gpl --enable-pthreads --enable-xvid --enable-a52 --enable-pp --enable-dts make To compile, you will need a bunch of libraries available from the Debian Marillat repository. Then, you can use ffmpeg or its libavcodec to recode virtually any format on the fly. I would be nice to be able to handle any format in Piave. But here again is the "leak" in Kdenlive, as we have to wait for Piave, which is released only once a year. On the other side, Kdenlive GUI and its many windows opening like pop-ups is broken. So, even hackers like us, begin to loose confidence in the ability to coordinate both projects. If others agree, my proposal is: - Jason fixes or removes poping-up windows under KDE 3.2 and tries to fix other bugs (without adding features). - Ruslan adds libavcodec support in Piave. As libavcodec usage is fairly simple, this must be doable, but I never studied the question. Do you think it is hard to do Jason? - Jean-Michel creates an autogen.sh script and commits debian and RPM compilation scripts to CVS. The idea is to release binaries to attract developers. After a week or so of work, we may be able to release something functional and discuss further. What do you think? Kind regards, Jean-Michel
