Avidemux simply uses it's own (internal) MPEG-4 decoder instead of the proprietary DivX decoder. Please note that Avidemux does not support the platform-specific and outdated 'Video for Windows' (VfW) interface and it never will! This means there is absolutely no way to use DivX (or any other VfW-based Codecs) with Avidemux! But don't worry: Avidemux will open all files, that were encoded with DivX, just fine. Also it includes various audio encoders: LAME (MP3), FAAC (LC-AAC), Aften (AC3), Ogg Vorbis and TwoLAME (MP2). Īvidemux comes with several video encoders built-in: Xvid (MPEG-4 ASP), x264 (H.264 aka AVC), libavcodec (MPEG-4 ASP, MPEG-2, MPEG-1, FLV, HuffYUV, FFV1, MJPEG, H.263, DV) and mpeg2enc (MPEG-1, MPEG-2). For bug reports and feature requests, please visit the forum at. A lot of useful information about Avidemux, compile instructions and guides can be found in the Avidemux Wiki at. If you want to compile Avidemux yourself, you can grab the sources directly from the SVN server at svn:///avidemux/. Pre-compiled binaries for MacOS/Intel can be found at. Gruntster's builds are updated almost daily, so they contain the latest fixes and improvements.
USE AVIDEMUX DOWNLOAD
You can download pre-compiled binaries for the Windows platform from the official site, but those builds are not updated very often! Therefore it's highly recommended to grab the latest SVN build from Gruntster's web-site at or ().

Patches, translations and bug reports are always welcome. Most of the Win32 development is done by Gruntster now, who has done some great improvements. There are absolutely no dependencies, expect for the libraries that ship with Avidemux. Avidemux is not a front-end to MPlayer/MEncoder, ffmpeg or anything else! Avidemux is a "standalone" application and it's fully self-contained.

USE AVIDEMUX CODE
The program was written from scratch by Mean, but code from other people and projects has been used as well.
USE AVIDEMUX MAC OS X
It is available for Linux, BSD, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows under the GNU GPL license. What OS is Avidemux availabe for and who made it?Īvidemux is developed as a cross-platform application. Video-DVD or (S)VCD compliant streams can be created with easy-to-use "Auto" wizards. Tasks can be automated using projects, job queue and powerful scripting capabilities. At the same time Avidemux natively supports a wide range of Video/Audio formats, including MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4 ASP, H.264/AVC, DV, HuffYUV, MP3, AAC, AC-3 and Vorbis. Avidemux natively supports a great number of file types, such as AVI, MPEG, VOB, TS, MP4, ASF, OGM, MKV and FLV. It's graphical user interface looks pretty similar to VirtualDub and most features known from VirtualDub are available too. That applications is Avidemux! And now the "official" version: Avidemux is a free video editor designed for simple cutting, filtering and encoding tasks. Imagine an application which does everything VirtualDub can do, but runs on various platforms, supports a lot of containers, comes with all Codecs you need built-in and doesn't use the nasty VfW interface.
