This is not used if you start piave in a seperate window, so we can ignor 
it...

Ok, here is the problem, the scenelist is empty. your clip was supposed to 
show up there.

1) have you actually inserted a clip to the timeline? Unlike in kino, you have 
   first 'add' the clip to the filelist (upper left window) and then drag&drop 
   it to the timeline.

2) If you have a clip in the timeline, before you hit play, try moving the 
   slider (any of the two). If you see a picture, hit play. if you can 
   playback now it may be possible, that you have an older version of 
   kdenlive. Try to cvs update. 

3) If you still didn't see any kind of picture... errr... hmmmm.. could you 
   please send the output again?

Hmm.. somehow your timeline seems to be empty.... strange...
