I had a play with OpenShot last night. It looks very good, but I have
to say that it did crash once, and getting the codecs installed is not
clear.[1] Once that was sorted, it does have a very good dialog for
setting the codecs where you just pick what the target is (YouTube,
DVD, Bluray etc) and it will then set some sensible defaults. You can
then click the advanced tab, and tweak if required. That is one thing
it does better than PiViTi. I have not actually tried to create a
video with it yet.
