Hello Andy,

I think I will have to get VMWare. But not now because I've already
spent far too many long hours trying to solve the problems with
virtualbox.

For a while I did have 32 bit versions of Ubuntu 8.04 and 9.10 running
on virtualbox, and discovered that OpenShot would not build properly on
32bit Ubuntu 9.10. What happened is that MLT was wrongly configured, and
did not have avformats in the listing.

Now I must stop messing around with testing and chatting on gtalk, and
really get on with the halp manual!

many thanks, Helen
