need help installing Avidemux 2.6.1

[rmcellig]

I am totally new to this way of installing software so for me this is a totally new experience for me to learn from.

I am trying to install the latest version of Avidemux into Linux Mint 14 xfce. So far, I have downloaded/extracted the tar file into my Videos folder. In there I have a folder called Avidemux 2.6.1 I tried following the instructions but am somewhat confused as to what and how I have to install Avidemux.

I did open a terminal and went to the /videos/Avidemux 2.6.1 folder. Now what?

Thanks for the help!!!

if you have these .deb(s)
- avidemux3-core-2.6.1
- avidemux3-plugins-COMMON-2.6.1
- avidemux3-qt4-2.6.1
- avidemux3-plugins-QT4-2.6.1
install these in this sequence. Allow software center to install these. When everything is installed call from terminal /usr/bin/avidemux3_qt4.

How do I run the bootStrap.bash script that is included in the Avidemux 2.6.1 folder? Is this how I get the files you mentioned in your post?

Like I said in my initial post I am totally new to this so I think I need some hand holding so I can get through this.

Thanks!!!

I downloaded  Avidemux 2.6.1 32bit. Are these the files I use in the steps you describe above?

It works!! It works!! I am so happy!!!! I just tried extracting a snippet and it worked fine and fast as well. I will continue trying it out if I run into any problems but for now to say I am elated is an understatement!!!



When will 2.6.1 be officially released?
