Ok I have a successful test here!! First, your command line failed: melt colour:red in=0 out=50 -consumer avformat:/home/test/vidred.dv
But with a different consumer service (libdv) it works: melt colour:red in=0 out=50 -consumer libdv:/home/test/vidred.dv So I tried what I was seeking for in melt with this command line: melt colour:blue length=500 out=500 -track /home/test/video.dv out=500 length=500 -transition composite always_active=1 geometry="2%,1%:15%x15%" distort=1 -filter channelcopy to=0 from=1 -consumer libdv:/home/test/result.dv And it woorrks !! ... but... files are really too bid (75M for 2 seconds!!). So I need to make the 'avformat' service works. I'm looking for avcodec and avformat unstripped packages, but can they be used in parallel with ffmepg itself without troubles? I ask the question because I've installed ffmpeg and I need it to keep working well separately from MLT framework. Thank you so much for your precious help!
