Avidemux 2.6.1 for Mountain Lion — Pre-built available anywhere?

[Alobar]

Iââ,¬â,,¢m a single parent with a 50-hour-a-week job, a 7-year-old boy, and MS, so Iââ,¬â,,¢d be thrilled to find Avidemux 2.6.1 pre-built for my Mountain Lion MacBook Pro (as well as my old iMac that runs OS 10.6..  Iââ,¬â,,¢m also not technically proficient enough to build it myself.  Anyone know if thatââ,¬â,,¢s available anywhere, or whether 2.6.1 even works on OS 10.8.2?  Iââ,¬â,,¢ve searched the Avidemux homepage (http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/) and the SVN nightly builds site (http://www.avidemux.org/nightly/), but maybe I checked too soon after v. 2.6.1 was released.

Thanks for any help offered.

Doesn't ANYONE know the answers to this?

Sorry, don't have that answer. Seems unofficial homebrew is only way to get avidemux 2.6 in osX? Howto build Avidemux on OSX 10.6, 10.7, or 10.8 using Homebrew The last builds for mac where from april 2010 on nightly.

[styrol]

By the way on OS X Avidemux 2.6 does not even have an audio output module.

So you might try MPEG Streamclip, which also offers lossless cutting for MPG, AVI, MP4 and DV (look at the Edit menu for cutting function). Video and audio tracks not complying to the mentioned container formats will be placed into MOV (or you have to re-encode).

MPEG Streamclip relies on the QuickTime framework. Please install the Perian QuickTime plugin to read allmost every video format.

That's funny, because I've been running 2.6.0 (that I compiled myself using this script) on Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion for a few months now, and it works perfectly for converting AVI files to MP4, audio and all.

[mitchde]

Yep, but it isnt funny that noone shares his prebuild binary 2.6.x .
Would be great if someone, which used that homebrew stuff to compile also UPLOAD it (zipped) to such places like uploaded, zippyshare & co

Much thanks to first uploader!

[styrol]

Sharing is not the problem, but you have to build a standalone binary before. The Homebrew or Macports way you get a binary with a lot of local dependencies.

As styrol said, the build via Macports has tons of dependencies (dynamic libraries, etc.). I wouldn't know how to begin to package it up so that it would be usable by anyone else. I'll give it a shot, but I doubt it will be useful.

That said, here's the link (Mediafire): http://www.mediafire.com/?8inkim953tlcr8c. I take no responsibility if you lose data, your computer lights on fire, or your hair falls out. I hope it works for you.

Extract the zip file (using sudo) from the root directory, it will install in /usr/local-avidemux, with the binaries in bin, the dynamic libraries in lib. I believe you will also need to set the environment variable "DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local-avidemux/lib" in order for the binaries to find the libraries. Good luck!

Kudos to timbck2 for sharing his prebuilt binaries of Avidemux 2.6.0!  I grabbed them and added the missing libraries + retargeted the library references + put everything in an app wrapper, so I think it should be runnable without any dependencies now.  I uploaded the resulting dmg to https://mega.co.nz/#!Vk1z0CoR!CURBeVPkkMCFcsXbCDJjnE7BAWRzb_uw07YswhKXE-Y -- feel free to try it out. Like timbck2, "I take no responsibility if you lose data, your computer lights on fire, or your hair falls out" (especially not the hair part ).  It works for me under Mac OS 10.8.2 and I hope it works for you too.  Cheers!

There is sort of nightly build also available here :
http://avidemux.org/nightly/osx/

Mountain lion only!

it works quite fine.
Only issue is x264,with same option of old version (built by me with homebrew) i obtain 70fps; with nightly linked by you (r8502) only 10fps.
Avidemux uses my two cores at 100%,maybe there is some advanced instructions(like SSE2 & Co.)that doesn't work properly.

Thank you, lenlo - I don't know how to package binaries into an app wrapper, so thanks for taking what I posted a step further! However, it doesn't open for me - I get the following:

Here is an other build from mean :
quote author=mean link=topic=11897.msg62154#msg62154 date=1362331192]
Better version
http://fixounet.free.fr/2.6/Avidemux_mac64.tgz
It is a somehow normal application now
(i"m not a mac developper)
[/quote]
I have some probs with the nigthly version  (09.03., crashings) , the above runs better.

EDIT: After long time i looked in the main DL page and found even an newer build 2.6.2 ML , i will try.
http://prdownload.berlios.de/avidemux/Avidemux_2.6.2_ml_64bits.dmg
But that build crashes in the QT Core after starting that build.
Thanks for all supporting the OS X builds!

[mean]

2.6.3 is available for mac on the download page
Mountain lion/64 bits only

[mitchde]

Thanks!

Q: Can it be that the installed QT Versions (older QT 4, mixed with QT 5 in /Library/Frameworks) can have an negative side effect on the new builds?
I ask because me crash ( at starting, no window shown) happens in the QT part. I am not an dev but think normally the app would use first the QTlibs which comes with the app and only use parts of the (older/newer QT frameworks in / Library/Framework) if some lib would be missing in the app. But can it happen also that even all needed QT libs are with the app, the /Library/Framework/QT... can have any (crash) effect on the app?

mean: what QT version the builder of the OSX version used ? I could try to dl the same QT and install that (over my QT 4.8 ?) .
I am unsure which QT 4.8.x version i have, i DL the actual QT 4.8.4 Mac and install it. But crash happens same (QT Core 4.8.4)
I read in the mac homebrow thread about QT 4.8.2 + QT 4.8.3 - dont know against which QT 4.8.x the uploaded newest AVIDEMUX was build.
