I think yes, because with the script the checkout of FFMPEG from SVN
and the build are separated and you can revert to an older FFMPEG
revision (it the current revision doesn't work for you) before you
build MLT, e.g.:

$ kdenlive_builder.sh getsources
$ cd ffmpeg
$ svn update -r '{2007-07-20}'
$ cd ../
$ kdenlive_builder.sh build

Hmm, good idea, I'll try this.

I understood your answer, I just tried to specify the prefix directory
using the GUI, and the dialog that pops up is a file select dialog - I
didn't notice that it insists to select a file and refuses to accept a
directory. When I copy/paste the prefix directory, it works fine.

Are there any plans to imlement a configure option for KDEnlive to
specify the default prefix for share/mlt/profiles/? Or to search in
KDEnlive build prefix first, then system-wide /usr prefix?
