Bug Description
precise final i386
Wanted to do :
1. the app "openshot" ( installed from precise own repo ) was used to import a ogv video ( recorded via gtk-recordmydesktop app ).
2.) The feature "add new title" was used to create a svga title , which I put right before the ogv file in openshots timeline.
Issue :
3.) Playback preview window remains black , there is nothing to see in the window - then as soon as the playback slider in the timeline was moving from the svga file to the ogv, the whole app openshot crashes with no error messages.
My succesful workaround - replace the version of openshot with newer one :
I installed today the "openshot" app now from the developers own ppa ( ppa:jonoomph/
All issues are solved magically, the very same svga/ogv combo that made v1.4 crash is now properly playing back as it should have been all the time.
So I would suggest to the ubuntu repo maintainer to either fix the bug in v1.4 or to replace the package with the working v.1.4.2
oh I forgot : I use fglrx driver from ubuntu itself for my HD mobility 4650 gpu in my toshiba l500 laptop . But I really think this is a problem of the openshot ppa because I can run blender and games and unity 3d with no problem.
