Changing an answer although I am not really sure I qualify as a dev: My best
bet is that this is from the wizard (svn blame):
2428 j-b-m if (!result.contains("- avformat"))
errorMessage.append(i18n("MLT's avformat (FFMPEG) module not found. Please
check your FFMPEG and MLT install. Kdenlive will not work until this issue is
fixed.") + "\n");
so, svn rev 2428... looking in the log:
r2418 | j-b-m | 2008-09-30 22:15:48 +0200 (tir, 30 sep 2008) | 1 line
Fix detection of MLT's avformat module
> That should not be a required module!
On irc the other day, there was some talk from the-me (Patrick Matth?i -
apparently a debian package maintainer) about getting a --enable-gpl
equivalent option to kdenlive, to allow it to compile without modules that
conflict with the patent/whatever issues that disallow some distributions to
distribute non-crippled versions of ffmpeg (sorry for the running sentence).
His issue was to get rid of the export profiles that does not work on these
distros. He promised to file an issue, but I am not sure he got around to it.
Perhaps we could think these issues together: the "lack" of avformat or a
crippled avformat, and the render profiles that are available in kdenlive?
And somehow also be able to get this information (debug output?) when we get
the "why can't I render to xvid/h264/whatever" issue filed in mantis.
