-====== Avidemux Versions ====== 
- 
-They are 3 main flavors of Avidemux. 
-====== 2.4/2.5 ====== 
-2.4 and 2.5 shares the same core. This core allows frame accurate seeking at every stage (encoding, filters,​...). 
-That's good to create very powerful filters. The problem is that they can only handle strict constant framerate video, 
-i.e. without "​holes"​ and without them changing (for example 24 fps<​->​30 fps in hybrid NTSC DVD). That ends up with out of sync error. 
-They handle frame ordering internally to provide the 100% frame seeking accuracy. But the reordering model of H264 is to complicated,​ so in that case accuracy is lost. 
- 
-So, in a nutshell, 2.4 and 2.5 are frame oriented, time = frameNumber * timeBase. 
- 
-2.4 is a monolithic program. Everything is compiled in, it installs basically one file : avidemux2_gtk/​avidemux2_qt4. 
-2.5 is a plugin oriented version of 2.4. Half of the functionalities are handled through ​ a plugin system. 
-Of course, 2.5 being a much more recent version, it benefits from a lot of improvements,​ mainly done by Gruntster. 
- 
-===== 2.6 ===== 
- 
-2.6 is a mostly rewritten core that deals with time. It can handle (slightly) damaged stream, varying frame rate. 
-The frame reordering is done by the decoder, so H264 video are handled like other codecs. 
-That also implies that a lot of the frame accuracy has been lost, and the video filter subsystem ​ is much less powerful. 
-2.6 has also support for  VDPAU, so that editing H264 video is slighly faster.
