/What the heck is Avidemux?/
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. That
applications is Avidemux! And now the "official" version: Avidemux is a
free video editor designed for simple cutting, filtering and encoding
tasks. It´s graphical user interface looks pretty similar to VirtualDub
and most features known from VirtualDub are available too. Avidemux
natively supports a great number of file types, such as AVI, MPEG, VOB,
TS, MP4, ASF, OGM, MKV and FLV. At the same time Avidemux natively
supports a wide range of Video/Audio formats, including MPEG-1, MPEG-2
<http://www.freewarefiles.com/Avidemux_program_33631.html#>, MPEG-4 ASP,
H.264/AVC, DV, HuffYUV, MP3, AAC, AC-3 and Vorbis. Tasks can be
automated using projects, job queue and powerful scripting capabilities.
Video-DVD or (S)VCD compliant streams can be created with easy-to-use
"Auto" wizards. Multi-threading is supported!

/What encoders are supported by Avidemux?/
Avidemux 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). Also it
includes various audio encoders: LAME (MP3), FAAC (LC-AAC), Aften (AC3),
Ogg Vorbis and TwoLAME (MP2). 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the platform-specific and outdated ´Video for Windows´ (VfW) interface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. Avidemux
simply uses it´s own (internal) MPEG-4 decoder instead of the
proprietary DivX decoder. Furthermore the files encoded with Avidemux
and Xvid will play 100% fine on a "DivX certified" player, as long as
you use the appropriate encoder settings...

/What video filters are supported by Avidemux?/
Avidemux comes with a wide range of video filters built-in. Most of
those filters were ported from MPlayer, VirtaulDub or Avisynth. There
are filters for Cropping, Resizing (Bilinear, Bicubic and Lanczos) and
Expanding. For processing of interlaced video, there are various
Deinterlacing and IVTC filters (e.g. Yadif, TDeint, Kernel Deinterlacer,
Smart Deinterlace, mcDeinterlace, DGBob and Decomb Telecide).
Furthermore there are filters for Denoising (FluxSmooth,
denoise3d/hqdn3d, Stabilize, Temporal Cleaner, etc.), Sharpening
(MSharpen, asharp, etc.), Color Correction and many more. Last but not
least there is a new plugin system for ´external´ video filters now. So
you can add additional filters to Avidemux without re-compiling!
*What´s New in Avidemux 2.4.4*
# Fixed crash when opening some MOV files (regression introduced in 2.4.3)
# Improved support for H.264 in MPEG-TS and M2TS containers

rate fix)
# Fixed bug where muxers could drop the first few B-frames (most
containers were affected)
# Fixed FAAC support so bitrate is correctly honoured
# The same settings are now used for the first and second pass of an x264
encode
# Improved JPEG file support
# Improved PNG decoding (now uses libavcodec rather than a custom wrapper
around libpng)
# Improved BMP/DIB decoding (now uses libavcodec rather than using own
decoder)
# Improved colourspace handling for raw video, bitmaps and DIBs
# Fixed Previous Black Frame functionality
# Qt interface has been significantly upgraded and now fully functional
(compared with its GTK counterpart)
# Saving of video is now prevented if the A marker is greater than the B
marker
# Improvements made to ECMAscript including a new GetFilePath() function
for the DirectorySearch class and fixes to the exec() function
# Add support for AAC audio to the command line interface
# Qt interface is now the default interface for MS Windows
# x264 and Xvid stat files with Unicode characters are now handled on MS
Windows
