I try to cut a video in Pitivi and get the following error:

Missing file: video/x-gst-fourcc-AVin-Decoder

The problem: I do not find any plugin with that name. Which plugin solves the problem then?

The output of avconv -i video_filen_ame is

Please add the output of avconv -i video_filen_ame. If avconv is not installed use sudo apt-get install libav-tools. – Braiam Dec 11 '13 at 15:36
    
I added the code above. – Marc Dec 14 '13 at 9:57
    
Could you upload a sample video? – Braiam Dec 14 '13 at 15:29

Decoding of AVin (AVC-Intra format from Avid) is not supported by gstreamer & not very well or at all by Libav. (libavcodec, ect.

It is supported by recent versions of the real FFmpeg & possibly some apps built off of it.

A sample file that is probably similar to yours is here, -

http://samples.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg-bugs/trac/ticket524/AVCI50.mov

i can play it fine in a recent mpv that uses FFmpeg, nothing else can handle. So you may need to re-encode it to something Pitivi can deal with

How? I tried tragtor and handbrake. Both did not work. – Marc Dec 9 '13 at 18:59

You should use the real FFmpeg to convert. Precompiled binaries are avail. in either of the links here - ffmpeg.org/download.html If you wish to build your own FFmpeg then this guide is the best one - trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/UbuntuCompilationGuide As far as command to use that should be a new question – doug Dec 13 '13 at 0:41
