[Mlt-devel] How to debug a "[mlt_pool] out of memory"?

[Kingsley G. M. Jr. <kin...@lo...>]

Hi,

First of all, thank you very much for developing
melt.

It's been a lot of fun.

And congratulations on your technical expertise.

My impression is that video software is complex.


The main reasons I'm writing are

    1.) I seem to have stumbled upon a bug,

    2.) if possible, I'd like to help fix it, and

    3.) I thought it might be smart to ask for good
        advice.

I elicit a 

    [mlt_pool] out of memory

by using the mouse to move kdenlive's time line
pointer.

I doubt its really out of memory for 2 reasons:

    1.) The kdenlive project file only has 2
        pictures, and

    2.) I've used it to edit other projects with
        about 10 X as many pictures and about
        10 X as long.

I'm using Debian's version 

    6.6.0-1+b1 of melt

and

    17.12.1-1 of kdenlive


Feel free to try to replicate the bug.

I attached a tar file of the kdenlive project and
a video showing what to do.

Just copy the tar file to /tmp and watch the
video.

Advice welcome!

Thanks,
Kingsley
