Hi Murray!

The system menus are different.
Cinelerra herself is identical.
So I'd say it shouldn't make any difference when using Cinelerra.

Yes. To produce a video file is "Rendering".

It is not. 
I don't recommend it (especially if with MPEG codec since it is prone to
crashing just before the end of rendering) :-)

As bqz69 suggested, try OGG Theora/Vorbis. It is *not* the only one
working, but surely it is the easiest to configure.

Note that to configure the format for rendering you must click on the
wrench icon by the "Video" and "Audio" checkboxes.

I don't think so. Even a properly installed Cinelerra has some formats
working and some other formats not working.


Good luck!
