Cinelerra Installation under Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10

Hi. In the last period,I was very busy and I had no time to watch TV. So I decided to record my favorite TV programs and to watch them in a second time. In general I use Kaffeine to record the TV program with my DVB stick : it works very well. You can set timers and you can record one ore more transmission together if they belong to the same multiplex of the primary channel you are recording. I prefer to convert most of recorded programs in MPEG4 format, with a good quality and a reasonable amount of space used. It’s possible however that you need to store a particular program with a better quality, i.e. without compression. After a fast search I decided to install Cinelerra to edit such videos. Main steps:

1) update your sources list

sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

with these extra repositories

#Cinelerra Ubuntu
deb http://giss.tv/~vale/ubuntu32 ./
deb-src http://giss.tv/~vale/ubuntu32 ./

2) Update :

sudo apt-get update

3) Install Cinelerra:

sudo apt-get install cinelerra

4) When you try to launch Cinelerra you have to fix this error:

"cinelerra: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"

Try this (for me works):

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib/libGL.so.1.2

5) Enjoy. I hope to test it in a short time and write some impressions.
