>>>I'm not sure what you mean the Camstudio codec is open source (GPL) as far as I can tell. Also, it seems to very efficient for screen captures and lossless (at least to my eyes).
It is not obligatory to use a GPL codec if you are a open source project.

>>>In any case, further experimentation seems to show it is not a codec problem. OpenShot still crashes if I convert it to HuffyUV. However, it works after converting to HuffyUV and resizing to a multiple of 4.
The fact that you must add a multiple of 4 is linked at the specification of the codec. When you have some extra-codecs like this, a conversion is the best way for working with. And it is a reason for privileged the Open codecs.
