installing ELAN under debian linux: insufficient rights to install RPMSpecs
Hello,
I have installed ELAN 3.1 under debian linux as a normal user, without root priviliges. I am able to start ELAN and annotate videos. However, I have some probelms with videos (format: xvid avi) when we want to skip frame by frame. quite often, the a skip forward results in the display of a previously shown frame.
also tried a video with a lower bitrate between 4000 and 5000, as suggested elsewhere in the forum. same result.
I wonder if the problem might be related to the following error during installation:
RPMSpecFile
Status: WARNING
Additional Notes: WARNING - You have insufficient permissions to install this RPM package. Please try running as super-user.
Best wishes
Henning

It seems very unlikely that the RPM warning has anything to do with the frame inaccuracy. It is not necessary that the application is registered with a RPM package manager; ELAN can be installed and uninstalled without that.
It is more likely that the format of the videos causes the problems. Is the same thing happening with regular mpeg-1 files (try e.g. one of the example files of the download page)?
