This is only way to convert ogv file to proper Youtube format on linux. You must have installed libx264 and libmp3lame, if not, make the following: Step 1) Open Synaptic Package Manager Step 2) Search on "libavformat" Step 3) We need to install the alternate version of libavformat... the one with h.264 and mp3 codecs. These package names vary from distribution to distribution, but it should be something similar to: a) libavformat-extra b) libavformat-unstripped Step 4) Close and re-launch OpenShot. You should now be able to use libmp3lame, h.264, and many other restricted formats. If you have trouble finding the correct package name, just google "libavformat" and the name of your Linux distribution.
