You will have to create an output plugin for piave. If mjpegtools can take 
YUYV (YUV422) encoded video frames, this will be pretty easy. (As soon as I 
finished the latest changes :)

In my opinion, this should be integrated with kdenlive, after all it will just 
be a "render it" button. While editing the timeline, kdenlive calls (one or 
more) piave processes. I think it would be the best to call a seperate piave 
processes to do the final rendering. This process may or may not (user 
defined) terminate when kdenlive terminates.
 We want to keep the option to use more than one processor/computer. You would 
split up the final project in as many seperate chunks as you have processors 
and merge the output of all piave processes afterwards.

Cheers,
Rolf
