Xvid is an unsupported format; kdenlive won't let me select it for rendering

[diablo75]

I'm not sure what to make of this problem, as it doesn't seem to exist on my laptop. But on my PC, when I go to render a project in kdenlive, very few video codecs are selectable. I'd like to be able to render into an xvid, but not sure how to get it working. Anyone know?

[diablo75]

I'm not sure what did it, but I got it to work.

Here's what I did.

I have had the Ubuntu Restricted Extra's installed on here, but not the Kubuntu Restricted. So I installed those. That alone didn't fix it. I then went into kdenlive, and clicked Settings>Run Config Wizard. This went through and apparently re-detected all available video and audio codecs, and I just had to click Next>Next>Next. Once done, I was able to select between all listed video codecs, including xvid.

Actually, you do not need to install the whole kubuntu restricted (which may trigger conflicts), just installing


libavcodec-unstripped-52
libavformat-unstripped-52

and re -running through the "Settings>Run Config Wizard" should be ok.

Under Natty the installation of libavcodec-extra-52 would appear to fix this issue - if you re-run the config wizard afterwards and quit out of any other instances you have of kdenlive that might be running as a different user.
