Ubuntu packages

The recommended version of Kdenlive is 0.7.6 and MLT 0.4.10.

Before installing packages, make sure to uninstall any file from Kdenlive Builder Wizard in /usr/local, which interferes with packages.

Warnings about the Builder Wizard

Since Ubuntu Jaunty packages exist, use them. If you install Kdenlive using the Wizard, it will install FFmpeg, MLT and Kdenlive into /usr/local.
Unless you uninstall these files, you will not be able to upgrade to future Ubuntu packages, because your system will only see the files installed by the Wizard.
Whenever you install real packages, uninstall all previous files installed by the Wizard in /usr/local.
