Created attachment 103282 [details] This is what I see when I load this project. Ok, this is a very strange thing that has happened... Yesterday I was working on a video and all looked ok, but when trying to render it it would immediately say "Rendering finished in 00:00:00" and never produce a file. I tried all manner of formats, even a series of PNG exports, but nothing. It was anyways late so I decided on shutting it down and maybe starting it fresh tomorrow would solve things. But things seem to only get worse... Now the wide-screen video has gotten an aspect of 4:3 and ended up in the middle of the screen as if I had a 800x600 video in a 720p project. Also, the rendering still refuses to work. The video clip is from a JVC HD camera that calls the file .MTS and I've had no problems with it in the past. /Edward Kdenlive: 16.12.0 MLT: 6.5.0
apt-get shows that kdenlive and melt was upgraded. Kdenlive: 16.12.1 MLT: 6.5.0 The aspect ratio in the video is back to normal, which is nice, but it still doesn't render. I'm guessing it might be melt. Is kdenlive not finding melt, or is melt refusing to do its job without telling kdenlive what the error is, or could this problem be deeper? (ffmpeg, avconv, avformat, etc)
Can you try the render to script feature ? In the render dialog, instead of "Render to file", you have an option to "render to script". This will create a script file, usually in $HOME/Documents/scripts/script001.sh (it will ask you for a path). Then, open a terminal and go in the folder of the file ($HOME/Documents/scripts in that case) and type: ./script001.sh (or any name that you gave in the render dialog). That might print some more informations about the rendering problem
edward@gigafirm:~/Documents/scripts$ ./00001_001.sh //STARTING RENDERING: false , false , "/usr/bin/melt" , "dv_pal_wide" , "avformat" , "-" , "consumer:" , "/home/edward/kdenlive/qna/00001.mpg" , () , ("qscale=3", "aq=3", "subq=3", "cmp=1", "subcmp=1", "trellis=1", "bf=2", "threads=1", "real_time=-1") , 0 , 1408 edward@gigafirm:~/Documents/scripts$ I hope that is the information you are looking for. To me, it doesn't look verbose enough.

Thanks. Works now. Except that the HD profile MPEG-2 only produces sound, but using VOB works just as well.
Thanks a lot for your report & quick feedback. That was really last minute but I managed to get the patch in for the 16.12.1 release due in 2 days, thanks to the release coordinator.
