Well, I have never been able to get PiTiVi to work, and I have it just
as it comes, ready installed in Ubuntu 10.04. I should like to be able
to make simple music videos and put them on YouTube, so that I can then
paste them into my blog. But every time I drag and drop an MP3 file into
PiTiVi, it says it is unable to open it. I tried asking about this on
the PiTiVi forum but I didn't have any replies last time I looked. A
detailed list of necessary codecs would be welcome, and it would be
interesting to know whether the Ubuntu team at Canonical are aware of
any issues with it. Rowan
