Rob Well, I have never been able to get PiTiVi to work, and I have it just as it comes, ready installed in Ubuntu 10.04. I should like to be able to make simple music videos and put them on YouTube, so that I can then paste them into my blog. But every time I drag and drop an MP3 file into PiTiVi, it says it is unable to open it. I tried asking about this on the PiTiVi forum but I didn't have any replies last time I looked. A detailed list of necessary codecs would be welcome, and it would be interesting to know whether the Ubuntu team at Canonical are aware of any issues with it.
