Saving high quality video from the LiVES video editor
On Ubuntu 10.10 Linux, the setting I have found that can save (encode) a clip from LiVES 1.3.2 without blatant degradation of the video quality is to select mencoder as the encoder (install it via synaptic, aptitude or apt-get if it is not installed) and then select the "FFV1 (lossless)" option, subsequently displayed in the list as "ffv1".
