Video; http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1004#Working%20around% 20bugs%20in%20the%20new%20kernel%20video%20architecture This workaround alters the startup parameters of the video kernel in the Grub config. When I did it, Cheese started recording properly again. Kdenlive is a dead duck as far as importing video clips is concerned, so now I export them from Pitivi(the new 10.04 video editor-sounds like they had a reason for putting that in!) and then these can be imported into 'OpenShot' from GDEB, which is actually a half decent video editor with an APT installer link at GDEB. This exports to mp4, without the detail of Kdenlive, but a low, medium and high quality setting. File sizes are ok, I'll try the low next, it should be good enough for YouTube. Hairy, but it beats a reversion, and OpenShot works much better than Kdenlive. Simono On Thu, 2010-05-06 at 19:12 +0100, Terry Coles wrote:
