Rendering

Rendering is the process where the edited clips are saved into a single complete video clip. Durring the rendering process the video can be compressed and converted to a number of different video formats (AKA codecs).

The rendering dialog is brought up from the render button , from selecting render in the Project Menu or by the <ctl><enter> shortcut.

Rendering Profile Categories

Kdenlive offers many different pre-set rendering profiles to choose from. The rendering profiles are grouped into categories. See pic.

File Rendering

DVD Rendering

DVD Rendering produces files that are compatible with DVD authoring software. MPEG2 files created from file rendering profiles are less likely to be compatible with DVD software.

Note that this option does not create a DVD file system. It mearly creates DVD compatible MPEG2 files that can be used by DVD authoring software. If you check the Open DVD Wizard after Rendering check box then the DVD Wizard will open and you can use this to create a DVD file system (in .ISO format). The DVD Wizard is also available from the File Menu.
