Hi, I am struggling a bit with my rendering profiles. I wish to use a lossless free (as in freedom)format. I am very very new to codecs etc. its a bit of a nightmare!
I had just been selecting theora from the list of options provided, and getting an ogv file, but this is lossy and causes me problems. I read on wikipidea that dirac is the lossless codec that goes with the ogv container, but I cant find any mention of this in the render menus. I found FFv1 + Flac (both free) under lossless/hq, but that renders to an avi container, which is a Microsoft thing.
Can anyone help me understand the problem here? Am I asking for unusual settings? I figured free software like kdenlive would make free video formats prominent :S

ok, so,
if I change both to ogg, I get a heart which says its a good profile, but then when i click render, a) my computer tries to shut down and b) I get an error saying its aborted cause it will prob be corrupted.
I also tried ogv, as this was what they were called under theora, but that flags up an error saying its an unsupported format and won't let me render.
If I try mkv I also get un supported.
I suppose i need to download something? mkv is not in my available formats on my config wizard - however ogg is, and ffv1 and flac are there too - so you would think that profile would work?
Any ideas? :S
NB: noticed an error a little later saying that the decklink drivers are not installed, however i cant find these on muon or using apt-cache... any ides?
