Hi. First Post. Just started using kdenlive with my new AVCHD Panasonic GH1 camera. Im blown away! I've been using linux for a decade and there has never been a video editor worth 2 cents. However kdenlive does crash often for me ... :/ but when it does work its great, and the way its designed I think the potential is unlimited!

I consider MKV with h264 video and vorbis audio somewhat of an ideal format, but I can't figure out how to come up with a render string to do this.

Any clues?

Thanks!

Copy a H.264 profile. Change Extension to mkv. Remove f=mp4. Change acodec=vorbis or libvorbis.

Rendering crashes! :/ tried libvorbis and vorbis...

hq=1 acodec=vorbis ab=192k ar=48000 pix_fmt=yuv420p vcodec=libx264 minrate=0 b=4000k b_strategy=1 subcmp=2 cmp=2 coder=1 flags=+loop flags2=dct8x8 qmax=51 trellis=1 aspect=%dar pass=2

yeah, for me too. It is due to using vorbis. It works with acodec=libmp3lame. Please file a bug.
