I do not think the message about theora is the source of your crash. Can you test a much higher bitrate MPEG-2? Does something else like DV or MPEG-4 work? How about when you place a short clip on the timeline by itself and render using the profile you want to use?

Every format gives the same error: first frame not a keyframe.
:S
What can I do?

Sorry, I guess you can not use that clip directly. You will have to transcode it. In version 0.7.6, I added some new Kdenlive Transcode presets "Fix Ogg Theora" and "Lossless Matroska" that might help. However, I do suggest you place just any other clip on the timeline, trim it down to about a minute, and test rendering to see if you can render something.
