[Bug 927755] Re: Dragging video to timeline eats RAM

 

What is the source of this file? I've tried it on Openshot 1.4.2 and it
doesn't eat all the memory, it gets imported as a zero length file.

MLT (melt) shows the message "[matroska @ 0x8620be0]Estimating duration
from bitrate, this may be inaccurate".

FFMpeg shows:

[matroska @ 0x91680e0]Unknown entry 0xFF
    Last message repeated 3 times
[matroska @ 0x91680e0]Estimating duration from bitrate, this may be inaccurate

I use Linux Mint 11, MLT 0.7.6, FFMpeg 0.6.4.

Whatever authored the mkv file is probably at fault, it looks to have
generatde a bad file, FFMpeg can't determine the length.

12.04 includes an old version (just for a change) of MLT (0.7.4), the
situation might improve if the latest version is used. Or it might be
due to changes in FFMpeg since 0.6.4, it's difficult to tell.

Title:
  Dragging video to timeline eats RAM

Status in “openshot” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I made a little demo video which is 15M .mkv containing h264/FLAC
  encoded.

  Import into openshot and then drag to the timeline. Computer freezes
  up as OpenShot eats all available memory and swap and eventually gets
  killed by the kernel OOM killer.
