,
I am proud to announce that OpenShot Video Editor has just hit an important milestone. We have been included in our first Linux distribution, AV Linux 3. AV Linux is a LiveDVD based on Debian, running the LXDE desktop environment. It features a full complement of the best FOSS Multimedia Applications available, allowing users to enjoy multi-track Audio Recording and Mixing, Video Capturing, Editing and Converting, DVD Authoring and Creation, iPod Tools and more.
Download AV Linux 3.0 LiveDVD
This now offers a new way for people to run and evaluate OpenShot, by using a LiveDVD. For those who do not know, a LiveDVD will allow you to boot into Linux without modifying your computer. You can check out the latest and greatest audio and video applications (including OpenShot) for Linux, and then boot back into your regular OS when you are done. If you haven't ever tried this, I encourage your to give it a try.
We hope to continue this trend, and have OpenShot included in as many distributions as possible. We are getting really close to a 1.0 release, so please help us out and contact your favorite distribution about packaging OpenShot. Many distros have a ticketing system for packaging, so please log a ticket for us. =)

OpenShot is such a great application! It will be included in our distribution - LFU (Learn Free with Ubuntu) - http://learnfree.eu/
It is an Ubuntu based distribution, focused on use in the educational sphere, and for everyday use. Soon we'll have our next milestone - LFU 4.0 (based on Ubuntu 9.10), and OpenShot is in the list of newly added applications.

I'm looking forward to giving this a try, especially since OpenShot doesn't work on my Ubuntu Karmic installation (I tried ppc, .deb and the install wizard. The iw was the only method that would get OS to run but it would crash too frequently to be useful).
I've had to fall back to Kino, which works and is stable but its UI and feature set don't come near OpenShot's.

Hello,
I am GMaq the developer of AV Linux, I'd like to personally thank Jonathan for such a terrific app and for mentioning AV Linux. I would invite users to learn more and carefully read the installing info at the AV Linux website here:

Follow up: I gave OpenShot a try using the AVLinux Live DVD and am happy with the results. OpenShot ran without any crashes - yippee!
Thanks AVLinux and OpenShot for sharing your work!

Love everthing about OpenShot but i still cant intall it in Ubuntu 9.10 i dont know why.

I installed OpenShot in Ubuntu 9.04 using Ubuntu Tweak.
THANK YOU for adding the "export image sequence" option.
Every video-export attempt I tried ended in either segfault, unreadable file, or 0-byte file.
I'm working with a 720x480, 8 fps OGG screen capture from RecordMyDesktop. I just added PNG title screens and exported.
Anyway, image sequence export seems to work great.

If it has hit such a pro audio/video distro. I assume that there is JACK support in OpenShot, or that is on the TODO list? If not then this comment is an FEATURE request.
thanks

Great distro, a good work in progress. The X server crashed after clicking Play to preview the edit on OpenShot; while recording with GTK Record My Desktop. I suppose this might be incompatibility between Xorg (or the server that crashed if another) and MLT, After the live CD wouldn't start up again. It seems to have saved the corrupted configuration file inside my Ubuntu partition. Anyway, I like the distro, and OpenShot's timeplay functions work faster there I don't know why.

Javicorper, there is a bug raised on launchpad for your issue with gtk-recordMyDesktop. See https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot/+bug/499250
