Ive weaned myself off Virtualdub and TMPEGEnc with this great free bit of software, but it helps to know your way around digital video generally ! It does pretty much anything I want it to, mostly hard coding subtitles, raising sound levels, and converting avi to DVD. It supports vbr mp3 audio without any sync issues I tended to get with VDub. It will do framerate conversions without a problem. My top tips: 1 - To get all the required info about a movie file, open it in Avidemux and click the Gear symbol that sits on the toolbar between Save and Calculator 2 - To do a quick and dirty conversion to dvd, open the avi/mkv file, then click Auto -> DVD. Then click Calculator, select MPEG, select your target disc size (ie DVD5), click apply and close. Then click save, give it a name foo.mpg always works for me !!

Great tool for encoding your DV.avi-Files to MPEG-2.mpg-Files without any AV-sync issues. These created MPG-Files can be used to create a DVD with GUI for dvdauthor. There is the possibility to delete/edit the MP4-tag of MP4-Files created with Avidemux: Open your MP4-File in Mp3tag and delete/edit the information in the File. Test it and be happy with this software.

I never thought of such a Converter or Encoder to be Roaming around there in internet ! It was awesome and great ! But the only problem is it keeps on giving its name as titles in title bars of common players like VLC media player ! Is it is possible to get rid of it ???

I love Avidemux but it's mp4 (h264) editing capability is limited. It can cut only at I frames (start & end) and I too had audio sync issues. For mp4 i would rather use cut assistant as gui for mp4box.

I have no problem editing MP4 files containing AVC/H264 video without having sync problems. To encode, I use Handbrake or Staxrip. For editing, I use AviDemux, which works fine.

It can't handle .m4/h264 without introducing synch issues

This app has a lot of promise, but A/V sync issues and too many hoops to jump through to avoid it will hold it back until resolved. I can't get almost anything to encode without horrifying A/V sync issues.

I've commented on v. 2.4. This comment is specific to all the 2.5 builds I've tried. If you wish to use this tool to quickly convert video to .avi output using xvid codec one-pass bitrate, stick with v. 2.4. With all the 2.5 builds I've tried the output looks as if a semi-transparent checkerboard was placed over the frame. The output is not watchable. I've pointed this out on AviDemux forum and the response amounts to "use 2 pass" whereas in v. 2.4 single pass bitrate 1500 with highest motion detection(6) produces very good output from many sources. It seems there's no interest in even finding out this is a problem, never mind a fix. If you use xvid one-pass mode, either use v. 2.4 or wait for 2.6.

it cannot decode FLV video files properly with correct audio & video synchronization

Replaced Virtualdub for me! Lots of options and great AUTO modes, the only drawback I could find is that the Stored/Compressed Aspect Ratio cannot be set to be different from the Playback Aspect Ratio. Still, for a freeware program, it is great. GREAT.

It's title is AVIDEMUX, yet there is no obvious way to demux AVIs with it... You can convert, but not demux. How about a little truth to the name, and put a simple "demux" button on it that pulls each stream out of the avi, without recoding?

Whoever posted about being a noob and needed a guide must be such a friggin' noob to the internet in general that they never bothered even looking. Right on the Avidemux2's website is a great big link that says Wiki docs. Click that and what do you see but more links in the Wiki--one of which is "Tutorials & Guides." This program is great. I've used it in both Windows and Linux. I do sympathize with the other poster about the audio syncing problem, however. I occasionally experience that as well.

After a year of struggling with this program, I find myself avoiding it, when I really would like to use it. In theory, it is an outstanding video editor. Unfortunately, I frequently find that after editing a file that plays fine on either Windows Media Player or VLC (for example), when I edit the file with this, the resulting new file has totally lost audio synchronization. As I understand it, some MPEG input files have anomalies in them which do not conform strictly to the MPEG specifications. But for some reason, players like VLC seem to be able to play those files in sync, but Avidemux can't edit them in sync. Lately, I've been running into similar problems with MP4 edits: Avidemux complains about some anomalies in the original MP4 file, and when I get done extracting commercials from the video stream, the saved file is hopelessly out of sync. Since somebody at VLC knows how to overcome these synchronization anomalies, I wonder why Avidemux team doesn't just grab that code and add it in as an optional tool. I would say that providing some tools to clean up the audio would push my rating from a 5 to a 9. As it is, I'm reluctant to use the program because I can never be sure what I'm going to get out the other end, after the sometimes very lengthy conversion processes.

I find Avidemux a very good tool which gives damn good results, its functionality was quite difficult to me as a newbie but I have become much more familiar with it as I use it more. I have done DVD to .avi conversions and H264 to .avi conversions (for play on my stand alone dvd player) and both conversions resulted in VERY GOOD results. Its filters make this tool outstanding. I thanks the people here at Videohelp.com for recommending it to me.

What an incredible software! I've downloaded this software many time, installed it and immediately uninstalled it. One day I read a review by an avid user and noted how highly it was rated. One advise, read the manual before use and I follow that simple wisdom to read the manual. I have nothing but good things to say about this editor, encoder plus software. You guys are brilliant. I do have one request to ask..please add video speed control filters in your next release. I will be happy to make a donation. Great software and keep up the exellent work.

This is an excellent general purpose video tool. It's the best way I've found to convert divx/xvid videos to stand-alone friendly in one pass. It also has filters so that you can auto crop video or burn in idx/sub subtitles. Also as of v. 2.4.3 they've fixed it so that running multiple instances on a multi-core PC doesn't crash. I've been using this app for awhile and the main frustration was trial and error when encoding with xvid for stand-alone player use. However, once I found a site with a good explanation of xvid encoding options I was able to consistently produce stand-alone friendly output using AviDemux. For Windows users the GUI might seem a bit unusual but you get acclimated. It's worth reading up on xvid and a few other codecs to get the most mileage out of this tool. I recommend it for any Windows Video Toolbox.

I tried it a few versions ago, and maybe didn't understand it, but it didn't seem to work for me. Recently heard it had been upgraded to Avidemux 2.4.2 (r4195) and tried it again. Removed 55 minutes of commercials from a 3 hour MPEG2 TV recording and it worked like a champ.

I found this tool very easy to use for AVI editing and very fast. I had no trouble using any of its functions without having to check any online documentation. The only 'problem' I noticed with the interface was that not all features had tool tips but most items were self-explanatory anyway. Did I mention it was fast? It took me less than 5 minutes to edit my video and save the newly edited version. I took 3hrs 5 min of raw video down to 1hr 53 minutes making about 30 edits and no re-encoding. Fast. Faster than when I used VirtualDub the last time I edited my home movies!

One of the best tools for editing videos of almost any kind out there. It has a lot of options for tweaking. Hence, high quality output files. Besides, it's free... @11f68: You say you're new to video editors. And you need a "how to" section. I suggest you stick to programs which fulfil your requirements, until you advance and handle things differently, more professionally. Your rating is like "I don't like the taste of potatoes. But I've never eaten one." Try things and use programs according to your skills. Then! And only then rate them.

How could someone give a "Value for money 1 of 10" for a FREE software?! Avidemux is my favorite video cutter and editor, for more than a year now. This tool is really good for cutting and convert, and even has filters and transitions. Maybe not the simplest for the beginners, but this is not a reason to give to this software a little overall score. Imho, at least.

I believe the people who say it's a great tool...but I am new to vid editors, and really need a "how to" section. None in the "Help" of the software, and in my ignorance could not find it on this site either. So I also agree with the comment of "not intuitive". Will keep looking for a simple way to convert avi to mpeg...but hope to progress enough to come back and take advantage of this apparently good product (if you have a bit of prequisite editing knowledge).

The comment about not being able to access network files is false... if you use the QT version is uses standard windows dialog... the GTK version can only access a network share connected as a drive letter but not as a UNC name. Being that this was written for the linux environment first.. I think its a great app.. I have started using it more now than making custom batch files and avs scripts.
