[Bug 506231] Re: OpenShot hangs when launched

 

Everything is working great in PulseAudio for me including Skype,
Kaffeine, proper volume control tracking of the left, right and
subwoofer channels and other functions which had a history of being
problematic before Ubuntu 9.10, so I am hesitant to change anything.
Since OpenShot is the only application with a problem I see this as an
OpenShot problem and I would still like to see OpenShot work with the
standard Ubuntu 9.10 64 bit installation if I can help to that end.

Status in OpenShot Video Editor: New

Bug description:
OpenShot 1.0.0 downloaded and installed from deb packages from openshotvideo.com.
Ubuntu 9.10, 64 bit on Intel Core 2 Duo Dell laptop, 2 gig memory.

When I launch OpenShot one cpu goes to 100% and the UI is completely unresponsive.  The only way out is to force-quit the application.  This started happening after the first time I used OpenShot to edit a 3.7Gig AVI video.  I right-clicked on the .AVI file on the desktop, selected OpenShot as the application and one cpu went up to 100%.  I figured it was a large file so I gave it some time to process.  I gave it 4 hours.  The UI was unresponsive at that point so I force quit.  Since then, whenever I launch OpenShot one CPU goes to 100%.  Restarting Ubuntu does not help.  Launching OpenShot hangs every time, lauched with or without a file.

Since I did launch OpenShot by itself after installing I cannot say for sure the problem resulted from opening the large file.  It may have hung from a plain launch without a file.  If I launch now using terminal I get the following message.  Maybe that's a clue:

mike@Dell64:~$ openshot
