[Andy Finch <691396@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The segfault appears to be coming from MLT (the video library Openshot
uses) - as you say the melt player segfaults when you try and play your
file. Openshot depends on MLT/ffmpeg for video file support. There is no
code in Openshot regarding video file compatibility. I would guess the
segfault occurring on import is due to the call to MLT to extract some
properties of the file and the initial frame for the thumbnail.

In short, there is nothing that can be fixed in Openshot to enable
playback of this file.
