Avidemux Video Tool?

[SwampRabbit]

Haha... the quota thing was a joke.

I think using OBS for Avidemux is still an option like Stevo said. It might be a good long term option as a whole for a dedicated AVL-MXE OBS repo, this way package updates aren't dependent on waiting for the MX Team to upload to our own repos in general. But again, long term option.

Let me see about doing Avidemux with OBS in the mean time.

It's been a while since we looked at this, but it looks like we can host Avidemux in our nonfree section if we don't build it with the aften aac encoder support. I'm going to try the xtradeb PPA's debianization without their added epoch "1:" in front of the version, so if you have any other version installed, you may have to completely remove all its packages to install MX's.

Hi @Stevo

That is great news!! I just want to clarify something so we don't miss out on the wrong encoder/decoder... Aften allows working with '.ac3' Audio which is the most common 'Dolby Digital' Audio on professional DVDs, On the other hand 'aac' of course is extremely popular in MP4 files made on pretty much all portable cameras, cell phones and Video recorders. We definitely need Avidemux with 'aac' support which is perfectly legal and part of ffmpeg otherwise it will be pretty much of no use to work with MP4 Video files.

I'm guessing that is what you meant but didn't want to assume..

Whoops....anyway, it will build without aften, at least 64-bit on my machine...i386 cross-compiles fail in pbuilder and sbuild, so I'm trying to use the OBS for those.

The builds also use the a52 library for decoding AC3, so if they really really need to encode to that, they will have to use the libavcodec option in it.

[Stevo]

Tim found how to patch the issue for 32-bit builds, so we now have amd64 and i386 builds in the 19-21 test repos. You'll just need to install "avidemux".

Let us know how it's working so it can move to main.

Incredible!! Will test later today!!

@Stevo

Looks and runs good here! Thanks so much!!

[Stevo]

I'll try building the Avidemux 2.8.0 packages soon.

I'm going to add this to mxpi-popular-apps. apparently I forgot.
