Yes, loading is possible, but all the mentioned programs stop working after a few seconds when doing 
something with the videos recorded with cheese. Try to put a filter on it or even fast 
forward/backward and then the programs keep hanging.

idea, because this means always a loss of quality. So why not directly record into another format 
instead of reencoding it after recording?
