You are very brave to attempt this. =)  I would suggest getting SDL to
build, since that is required to output the video and sound to the
screen.  Also, once you get MLT to build, add the "melt" executable to
your system path, so you can type "melt" in your command window from any
folder, and it knows what the command is.

Like Andy suggested, ultimately we need to create a branch on LaunchPad
with all the changes required to get a Windows version building.  I'm
not sure if you are familiar with launchPad and Bazaar, but I would
suggest looking in that direction.  As you make progress and get
everything working, you can commit your changes to that new branch...

Ultimately, we would need to merge that branch with our trunk, and have
a single, cross platform version of OpenShot... but there is still much
work to do, as you can see. =)  Thanks.

Title:
  Cannot start on Windows XP

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I tried to run openshot on WinXP SP3.
  Openshot 1.3.0
  Python 2.7.1

  I builded MLT framework like described in http://mltframework.org/twiki/bin/view/MLT/WindowsBuild
  Except jack, sdl, sox, and swfdec. Becuse there was build errors with it, and I just disabled it.

  So I can run this test:
  >> import mlt
  >> f = mlt.Factory()

  Next I tried to run this: python.exe d:\openshot-1.3.0\openshot\openshot.py
  Ok. there was errors about absent python modules (xdg,  PIL, goocanvas, httplib2), I installed all those modules.

  Next I got an error about locale:
  =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "d:\openshot-1.3.0\openshot\openshot.py", line 71, in <module>
      main()
    File "d:\openshot-1.3.0\openshot\openshot.py", line 61, in main
      current_project = project.project()
    File "d:\openshot-1.3.0\openshot\classes\project.py", line 66, in __init__
      translator = Language_Init.Translator(self)
    File "d:\openshot-1.3.0\openshot\language\Language_Init.py", line 85, in __init__
      locale.setlocale(locale.LC_NUMERIC, 'POSIX')
    File "D:\Python27\lib\locale.py", line 531, in setlocale
      return _setlocale(category, locale)
  locale.Error: unsupported locale setting
  =-=-=-=-=-==-

  I edited Language_Init.py and change 'POSIX' to '' (I don't really know what this mean, just experiment)
  And I got another error:
  =-=-=-=-=-=-=
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "d:\openshot-1.3.0\openshot\openshot.py", line 71, in <module>
      main()

      current_project = project.project()

      translator = Language_Init.Translator(self)
    File "d:\openshot-1.3.0\openshot\language\Language_Init.py", line 86, in __init__
      locale.bindtextdomain("OpenShot", self.project.LOCALE_DIR)
  AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'bindtextdomain'
  =-=-=-=-=-=-=

  So, I commented this string: "locale.bindtextdomain("OpenShot", self.project.LOCALE_DIR)"
  And got another error:
  =-=-=-=-=-=-=
  No formats or codecs were found.  Please check the OpenShot preferences and configure the 'melt' command name.

      app = frmMain(project=current_project, version=info.SETUP['version'])
    File "d:\openshot-1.3.0\openshot\windows\MainGTK.py", line 315, in __init__
      self.project.RefreshXML()

      os.putenv('SDL_WINDOWID', str(self.form.videoscreen.window.xid))
  AttributeError: xid attribute not supported
  =-=-=-=-=-=-=

  And one big and two small not responding windows, I just can Ctrl-
  break python to close it.

  What can I do now?
