View 8 Repliesunder avidemux-qt, the videos play and encode w/out any audio output, and audiodevice is set to "dummy" and cannot be changed. but avidemux-gtk has no problem w/ audio playback.Is this an application specific problem, and if not how do i configure phonon to fix this issue?
View 1 Replies View RelatedFirst and foremost is Avidemux. Somewhere between Fedora 11, 12 and 13 Avidemux lost the capability to encode audio streams in AAC format. I've installed all pertinent packages for it and for AAC, and even though AAC is available to other programs (Banshee, SoundJuicer, etc), alas it is not in Avidemux. I read somewhere that since the newer version of Avidemux now uses a plug-in architecture, support for a lot of formats might be missing as they get ported.
I use Avidemux as usually I rip my DVDs into .mp4 files which I serve up from a Linux box at home and stream them to my PS3, or simply to load a bunch onto my laptop to watch on the move or when I'm on call at the hospital (like I am right now)...
Kind of related to this that I remember not too long ago, I was able to convert a DVD into PSP's mp4 format from DVD::Rip, IIRC directly from the application, but last time I used it, it only seems to have support for AVI, OGM and MPEG container formats. Maybe somthing changed along the way that I'm not aware of.
It looks to boil down to the fact that the package avidemux-plugins from RPMFusion is missing the necessary plugin... I'll go check why is that.
I Updated from Fedora 9 to Fedora 13 several months ago and noticed that AAC audio encoder was no more available in Avidemux (I use version 2.5.3.3 for fedora 13 from rpmfusion repo)Unfortunately AAC is mandatory on the IPod (and probably other Apple devices) to have the sound working.I had faad2-libs (decoder) and faac (encoder) packages installed, but avidemux was not using them.After some search on the web, I found that faac support was removed because of legal issues.Some people recommend to rebuild Avidemux from source but this was a little bit complicated, and I found an easier solution.
In fact the only thing needed to add AAC support to Avidemux is to add the required libADM_ae_faac.so library in /usr/lib/ADM_plugins/audioEncoders, as it is no more supplied in the package avidemux-plugins. Searching for libADM_ae_faac.so on the Web, I found some packages containing this file, such as the ones from other distros, and the package for the same Avidemux version than the one I use but for Fedora 11 : avidemux-plugins-2.5.3-3.fc11.i586.rpm.
i have a series of flv videos and they all are pieces of one big video file i want to append them with avidemux but when i do the process open file select append and then select the following video i did that like 8 times but only the first clip in the video has sound the rest are completely mute whats going on here

I was able to download this ..... video and I would like to edit it using Avidemux. There are subtitles on the video but I just want to edit the subtitles if possible.
I want to take out the foul language text (subtitles). Is this possible?
Video is in mp4 another one is in flv format.
im trying to convert a .mkv video with subs into a .mp4 video but in the the video is ok but the subs are gone.
View 6 Replies View RelatedI'll try to make this short, esp because I don't know if this is the right place to discuss a 3rd party program like "Avidemux" I'm running the latest version "2.5.4" or so. It started giving me this problem where no matter what settings I give it, the resulting files are so small it results in an error after almost a day of encoding. ( "XYZ" was NOT saved correctly , for example.) One day I noticed the quantisizer was at max, peaking at 48-50...which made the files tiny. So, I can avoid this sort of, by limiting the maximum and minimum quantisizer in the configurations. Problem is, I have no control over target size or bitrate this way..and sometimes the results are still unplayable.
Naturally I've uninstalled and re-installed several times, and recompiled the x264 codecs using this guide: [URL]... So, I downloaded the Tar.gz of the previous version i was using (Avidemux 2.5.3), the last known thing I know that worked for me...but I have no idea how to install it. I've tried running "Make" / "Cmake" In which I was told that an "in-tree-build" was detected. And trying to run the included "bootStrap.sh" results in : "Permission denied" or file/command not found. I don't think their old releases come in the default Ubuntu/Unix package "deb" right?
All these could be small errors on my end, but It urks me. In between reading up, and everything else that needs to be done in a day, I could have been done by now... Does anyone know where i could be going wrong?
I recently upgraded my VLC and Avidemux from AlienBOB's Repo.
With VLC media player 1.1.0-rc2, i get the following error when i try to play a video:

Since upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10 (through the update manager) my previously well working avidemux now will not even start. here is the output from the terminal.
Code:

I have unistalled and reinstalled avidemux with the same results. I have also uninstalled the ffmpeg, mencoder, and medibuntu codecs and reinstalled, however, I am getting the same terminal output and the same results.
when editing an mp4 file from videos with avidemux, the editing works perfectly but the resulting video sound is speeded up but the image runs at normal speed. the resulting mess is out of synch video/sound.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI eventually did buy a Terra HD from Zareason that I love, but I cannot get it to do my video editing of Flip Mino home videos. I know the machine is capable. It plays bigger AVI files without any problem. For sound it uses the Realtek chipset. Samples of the .avi Flip Mino videos are here. A nice short one for experimenting with is 2.3 MB, here. According to Avidemux, the Flip Mino videos have the following video properties...
Codec 4CC: XVID
Image Size: 640 x 480
Aspect Ratio: 1:1 (1:1)
Frame Rate: 30.000 fps
and the following audio properties...
Codec: MSADPCM
Channels: Mono
Bitrate: 22179 Bps / 177 kbps
Variable Bitrate: No
Frequency: 44100 Hz
My goal is simply to trim the beginning and end to get the best segment in each home movie. Avidemux worked great on my old machine as long as I changed the output audio format to MP3(LAME). But Avidemux is not working and wants to know all sorts of things about devices of which I am ignorant. The default settings must be wrong since the audio playback is choppy and usually the video saves to a one-frame broken file.
I also tried Openshot and it has no device preference issues. However, I am ignorant of how to make it save the videos properly. It wants to "export" the video using all sorts of options, none of which are simply "use the setting for the only track". Based on the 640x480 size I tried some Square NTSC tests but the exported file was always much too big -- usually larger than the untrimmed original!
Also, Openshot appears to lack a keyboard shortcut or button for "move the beginning or end of the clip back or forwards one frame". Is it really expecting me to use the mouse to position the clip's borders precisely? I have no vested interest in which software is used. Nor do I care about the resulting file format as long as it is neither wastefully large nor senselessly abandoning quality. I just want to share my home movies with friends and family.
I installed avidemux so I can split a video file. However avidemux doesn't show up on the menu. It should appear in Applications->Sound and Video but it's not showing up under any of the menu items. When I go to Ubuntu Software Centre it shows that avidemux is installed. How do I find it so I can run it? I'm running Karmic.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have been using Avidemux to encode edited video using x264 and the mp4 container for most of my videos. My PCs are not new, using single-core AMD Athlon processors.
In 9.04 and 9.10 (Linux Mint), encoding speeds ranged from 7 to 10 frames per second. In 10.04 these dropped down to less than 2 frames per second.
I booted back into Linux Mint 8 (9.10) and the same video encoded at the previous 7 to 10 fps.
I tried with other videos in different formats (mpeg2 and VOB). The results were the same - 10.04 was extremely slow encoding x264 but Mint 8 was "normal" at 7 to 10 fps.
With a dual-core notebook, however, the encoding speeds ran at 8 to 14 fps in 10.04.
Was 10.04 optimized for dual and multi-core at the expense of single-core? If so, is there a way to restore "single-core optimization"?
avidemux is missing mplayer resize plugin. How do I get it?

I'm using using ubuntu 11.04, and im using Avidemux (GTK+) whatever date that is, got it a couple days ago from the software center.
I attached some .a/s/s subtitles to the video, and the preview looked great. Encoded the video, and the audio plays like two times faster than the actual video, so by about halfway through the video, the audio is done and im left in silence with the video still going.
I set the video to MPEG-4 AVC, attach .a/s/s subs, leave audio alone, and encode using default option (Single pass-quality quantisizer)
I'm using avidemux for Windows platform. I realize this is linux software but I guess I thought some of you OSS developers might know something about the bugs in the windows port (I can't seem to find an answer in tutorials or faq's). I load my mpeg. I apply the filters which only show in preview, not in the mpeg that I'm staring at in the main window. I ensured encoding was correct for audio and video, placed the "proposed" I guess you can say, jobs in the job list but when I go to run the selected job, avidemux crashes. It erases all my filters and such (which you can imagine how annoying that is for really crappy video). I've searched through the interface for an apply button, pressed all the configure buttons so I assume that the processing stage occurs when I perform the job. (Sadly the faqs and tutorials aren't very well worded although they say much about features, they don't elaborate too tough).
View 3 Replies View Relatedi bought an obscure video/mp3 player from china recently, and one day, i managed to use AVIDEMUX to succesfully transfer video to it. However, i dont remember the settings AT ALL. I open the working video file with AVIDEMUX, and check out the properties, but there is option in the lists to the left to convert to the video type that is open. Is there anyway to export the video properties, then convert any video, to those parameters?
View 6 Replies View RelatedIn newer versions of Avidemux wrong parameters are set when choosing "Sony Playstation Portable" from the Auto menu. The PSP doesn't support more than 2 reference frames or 8x8 DCT Transform.
This is how you can fix it. Backup the original file
Code:
sudo cp /usr/lib/ADM_plugins/videoEncoder/x264/Sony PlayStation Portable.xml /usr/lib/ADM_plugins/videoEncoder/x264/Sony PlayStation Portable.xml.org
Edit the file
Code:
sudo gedit /usr/lib/ADM_plugins/videoEncoder/x264/Sony PlayStation Portable.xml

I have used avidemux to cut a mp4 file, choosing just a part of it, and I have discovered it automatically adds "avidemux" to the beginning of the name of the file, plus the author of the file and that I cannot edit the file to erase it. Note that I talk about "right click - properties", and that the file, as seen from home folder dont include the "avidemux" prefix, but if, for instance, I run the file with VLC, "avidemux" will appear, and that is annoying. how to delete that annoying avidemux prefix?

View 8 Replies View RelatedI seem to have lost vlc. It was working ok til I tried the following from [url].
"Like I told you before, files aren't the only places where you can redirect the standard output. You can redirect it to devices, too: $ cat sound.wav > /dev/audio
As you saw, in the above example the cat command concatenates a file named sound.wav and the results are sent to a device called /dev/audio. What's the fun here, then? /dev/audio is the audio device, and when you send there the contents of a sound file, that file is played. So if your sound is properly configured, the above command plays the file sound.wav!"
I thought that if I sent a music file to vlc in this way, vlc would play it. So I did cat song.mp3 > /usr/bin/vlc. At this point vlc stopped working. I looked in /usr/bin and found that vlc had been turned into a music file! So I erased it, and removed it via yum. Success. Then I reinstalled via yum; success. But the messages now are: from terminal:
[From gui: Could not launch 'VLC media player' Failed to execute child process "vlc" (No such file or directory).
I must say I am quite embarrassed. I normally don't ask these sort of questions. I can't seem to update my system. When I call;

I installed Fedora 14 recently, in part because I heard that it is more stable than Ubuntu these days.Anyways, I use XeTeX to generate PDF files for my website, and it really is necessary for me. Of course, I installed the texlive-xetex package and its dependencies. However, when I run "xelatex myfile.tex" on a simple and proper XeTeX source file, the program cannot even begin. I get the following output:
Code:
This is XeTeXk, Version 3.141592-2.2-0.996 (Web2C 7.5.6)

When I login, it all works, but it gets to the point where I have to choose my login name, and enter password, but it never gets there. It hangs at the point where it lists my machine name, and then never gives me the option to login. (I updated the plymouth theme just before this happened)
I also installed a little utility from the software center that lets me tweak the login screen, but I didn't make any changes.
Bump, and some more info...
I was able to login a few times by pressing escape when the plymouth was loading (boot sequence), from here, my login name showed up without trouble, but this is not repeatable... When I logged in, I re-installed plymouth themes, and did an update of all software from the terminal (sudo yum update), but this didn't seem to help. As soon as I logged out, it happened again.
I really like Fedora, switched from Ubuntu. Fedora 14 seems more professional, but this is a deal breaker if I can't get to the gui!
Well, it isn't fiixed, could never figure out what was causing it, but I just switched to auto-login..
has anyone else noticed that any program to do with FLV (flash video) files does not work on F15?i can't get mplayer or vlc to play them (totem does it seems) and mencoder and ffmpeg segfault without any useful error message when trying to convert themany ideas? i'm assuming some problem with the rpmfusion codecs or packages?
