kdenlive complains that the avformat-module (ffmpeg) is missing, which I believe is required to process the Mpeg-4 (Quicktime) videos that my Nikon camera produces.
I googled around and the problem might be that kdenlive is nitpicky about the correct version of this library, and gives up if multiple versions are installed or if the they are installed at differing locations. However, these instructions seemed all about compiling kdenlive from source, which I am not comfortable with. I thought that the packager takes care of everything being installed at the correct file path?
The YaST Software tool offers me two versions of kdenlive:
0.9.2-20.1-x86_64 from obs://build.opensuse.org/KDE
0.9.2-4.1-x86_64 from http://packman.links2linux.de
I already tried both, but I cannot discern any difference.
I also find the following:
libavformat52 0.7.13-1.2-x86_64 from packman only
libavformat54 0.7.13-1.2-x86_64 from packman only
So I tried uninstalling either of them in combination with either kdenlive version, but that did not help either. (btw, uninstalling libavformat52 will give a lot of conflicts, which were resovled by installing libavformat52-32bit (plus lots of other 32bit software), but I uninstalled most of those once I had tested kdenlive).
I was on Suse 12.1 with KDE 4.8. Due to the problem with kdenlive, I tried updating to KDE 4.9 as instructed here. The update to KDE 4.9 went fine, but the problem with kdenlive and the avformat module persists.
I have no idea what else I could try now, and would appreciate a suggestion.

Note that I did not delete old repositories, such as for KDE4.8, but that I just deactivated those repositories (column “Aktiviert” is for Enabled, and “Nein” = No), I hope this is ok.
