Not sure if it’s the right place, so sorry if I am wrong with it…
I am starting to use Blender to edit videos on Linux. I tried a little bit on Windows, but I prefer Linux a lot…
What it’s wrong if I add a movie in avi format and it only works on Windows but not on Linux?
I am using Ubuntu latest version and I installed Blender from the repository.
Perhaps it’s a problem with some codec on Ubuntu? I am able to open these files on Ubuntu and also edit them with Kdenlive
Opening it into the terminal gives me the error:
not an anim: /home/matsetes/kdenlive/Minetest mod spotlight 4.avi
I’ve got latest version of Ubuntu and of Blender.
I also tried to use a compiled version of it, but nothing… =S
I solved, after two months from when the problem occurred. I used the irc chat and three or four forums and, of course, Google. The page that helped me a lot is https://developer.blender.org/T28790 where it says that is a problem of ffmpeg with the compiling of GCC. You can solve that downloading the precompiled version here https://builder.blender.org/download/ It doesn’t work if you compile the version and also the repository one does not work.
I answered my question to help all the people that will have the same problem =)
