Avidemux Forum

Thank-you.

Just for my own satisfaction, I reproduced the freeze-up on the first try.

This worked, Sep 22 nightly did not freeze-up.

Going forward, should AVX and AVX2 be kept disabled, or is that just for a temporary fix?

Please disable AVX and AVX2 SIMD in Avidemux Preferences --> CPU and report back whether this helps.

I have seen this intermittent FFmpeg crash encoding audio to AC3 too, thank you for the log. Not related to x264 or anything else.

May be related to graphics drivers being too old, in doubt please reproduce the issue, close Avidemux and provide admlog.txt from %localappdata%\avidemux directory.

Quote from: MC on September 30, 2026, 06:21:45 AMAlso, as ffmpeg already support faac audio, that's a good idea to have two aac encoder/decoder ?

We have three and the only one which really matters feature-wise is fdk_aac (non-free). Absolutely no objections at least on my part when duplicate functionality like faac AAC encoder and faad2 AAC decoder are left out. Regarding having multiple tools to do the same job, I personally don't see a problem with that, may be useful for testing.

Mister Developer, could it be possible for you in Avidemux to add a separate default folder for audio that is used for selecting the track from and save a track to, please? I keep both video and audio separated, this feature would make my workflow more comfortable. Thanks a lot in advance.
Kind regards from Litze.

Up to at least version 2.5.6, the x264 codec was much more configurable:

- the three *qcomp* (curve compression) values ��are now fixed and cannot be modified
- *zones* can no longer be set

(ver. 2.5.6)

Now (ver. 2.8.x)

Why were they disabled? 

It would be great if at least these two options were made functional and user-adjustable again, as they were in older versions.

Xvid is also much less configurable than before: at the very least, AQ and PB-ratio should be adjustable, as these are important parameters.

Thanks.

Since avidemux_mingw64_20260912 & 20260922, the nvenc encoders no longer work and throw an error.

The Sep 22 nightly has given multiple freeze-ups when using x264.
First last week after updating from the Sep 12 nightly and again this week after doing a clean install.
Last week and this week I rolled back to the Aug 6 nightly, same files, same workflows, no problems.
The Sep 12 also was problem free for the week I used it.

Maybe you can see something in the attached crash.py and admlog.

Hi,

avidemux fail to build with faac 2.x
2.1 introduced soname libflac1
2.2 introduced soname libflac2

Also, as ffmpeg already support faac audio, that's a good idea to have two aac encoder/decoder ?
