First make sure openshot and python-mlt3 aren’t half installed:
sudo apt-get remove --purge openshot python-mlt3
then what happens if you run:
sudo apt-get install libmlt4
Success with that…

OK, now what happens if you run:
sudo apt-get install python-mlt3
does it install without error ?
Nope, I get;

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies.
python-mlt3 : Depends: libmlt++3 but it is not going to be installed
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
pooky2483@pooky2483-Kubuntu-1204-3:~$
OK, run:
sudo apt-get remove --purge python-mlt3
now can you post the output from:
sudo aptitude install -s openshot
be aware this will NOT install openshot … it’s a simulated installation … I just want to see what aptitude would do.
Of it errors saying aptitude isn’t installed … install it and try again
sudo aptitude install -s openshot
Command not found.
run:
sudo apt-get install aptitude
then try:
sudo aptitude install -s openshot
again … and post the results.
This doesn’t help at all, but aptitude is HORRIBLE. I honestly don’t know how people got on before synaptic was written.
What’s the difference with…
sudo apt-get install *****
and
sudo aptitude install *****

And therein lies the problem.
You’ve added a PPA (kdenlive) that has a more recent version of libmlt than the one in the default repos (and the one openshot is expecting to find).
So the only way to install openshot from the default repos would be to purge that PPA … but that will break or remove kdenlive
[EDIT]
Your other option would be to try adding the openshot PPA and installing version 1.4.3 from there … this seems to have dependencies that might match (it can handle mlt2, 3, and 5 … whereas the default 12.04 version can only handle mlt2, and 3)
run:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:openshot.developers/ppa
then
sudo apt-get update
then post the output from:
sudo aptitude install -s openshot
again
Would I be able to roll back kdenlive and hopefully libmlt too then install openshot then do an update.
Or remove kdenlive, install openshot and then reinstall kdenlive?
Maybe the only way to find out is to try it…
What do you think, Mark?
please see the edit in my last posting.
Seen it, followed it and not yet entered anything on the prompt

You can accept it, but you’ll loose recordmydesktop
That’s OK as I’ve got Vokoscreen, which you recommended.
