Comment 13 for bug 403154

Good job digging around in the debugger! Here is what we need to do, for this to get fixed. We need to prepare a simple example for Dan which exposes the bug. What I recommend is to use the smallest H.264 clip you have, create the simplest OpenShot project possible which maxes out the CPU, and then take a copy of the "Westley.xml" file from the /OpenShot/ folder.

You should be able to call your copy of the XML file from the "melt" command line:
$ melt xml:Westley.xml

If the 100% CPU happens when using the "melt" command, this should be easy for Dan to jump into and debug. One more thing, the XML file will contain absolute paths to your example video file, and that needs to be changed to a relative path... and then all .zipped up.

If I just send Dan the debug output from above, he will certainly request an example for debugging reasons.

Thanks,
