--- Comment #2 from Jonathan Gilbert <c6kargn...@liamekaens.com> ---
I have just done a follow-up test. It appears that if "f=mp4" is entirely
removed from the presets file (no 'f' option value specified), then a value
specified in the render format definition is in fact respected. I can change my
output file format by switching between "f=mp4" and "f=mkv" in the render
format definition in the Kdenlive UI. This isn't possible with the distribution
version of e.g. the "x264-medium" preset file.

I also tested what would happen if the render format definition also omitted
the 'f' option, and the result appears to be that the MLT consumer
automatically detects the format based on the extension in the filename
provided. If "x264-medium" is entirely missing "f=mp4" and my render format has
neither "f=mp4" nor "f=mkv", then setting the output filename to "Output.mp4"
creates an MP4 file and setting it to "Output.mkv" creates an MKV file with no
other changes.

I would propose, then, that at least some of the MLT libavformat presets files
distributed with Kdenlive have their 'f' option removed, allowing the user to
specify the format via the Kdenlive UI either explicitly or implicitly via the
filename.
