[SOLUTION] working cinelerra 4.1, not cv

Hi:

After struggling a while to make the default cinelerra-cv package work (reported the error as stated in this thread: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=85542), I tried with the Heroinwarrior's cinelerra 4.1 version. It just works for my need.

1) I have downloaded the cinelerra 4.1 source from sourceforge.net (https://sourceforge.net/projects/heroin … 2/download)

2) Uncompressed it using tar -jxvf cinelerra-4.1-src.tar.bz2

3) Changed directory to (cd cinelerra-4.1)

4) Made some changes to main.c in quicktime/thirdparty/faac-1.24/frontend/ directory. Replaced "include <mp4.h>" with "include <mp4v2/mp4v2.h>" (without quotes) on line 33

5) Removed a block in common.h file in quicktime/thirdparty/faad2-2.0/libfaad/ directory. Delete the lines from 310 to 322 and saved file.

6) Then I did ./configure && make && make install"

7) I didn't do 'make install' as I run the cinelerra binary from the /bin folder from the source directory itself.

Hope this helps.

Re: [SOLUTION] working cinelerra 4.1, not cv

I finally got tired of Cinelerra crashing, so I have created a "cinelerra-heroine" package using the instructions above. It works on my 64-bit computer. I did have to disable shared objects to get the openexr files to compile. I don't know if that's good or bad...

I have had problems with Xorg crashing because of an update in nvidia-utils (I think), but it happened with both cinelerra-heroine and cinelerra-cv, so I doubt it is a problem with this version of Cinelerra specifically. Other than that, I love not having to worry about Cinelerra crashing everytime I import a file. Thank you.

Edit: my problem with Xorg crashing was solved by just switching from X11-opengl to X11-XV.

this seems quite useful, why not use the wiki ?
