Avidemux 2.6.5 problems

[phaolo]

Thanks for the new version guys, but I've found these problems so far:

- I tried to copy .flv movie files to .mp4 containers (this worked fine with older versions), but the results seem to have problems (errors in vlc, no data in MediaInfo).
I even got a "File too short" error, but the pinned FAQ in this forum doesn't work.

- even before editing, all playing videos stop at few ms (30-100) before the real end. If I force it, I get a "cannot go to next keyframe" error.
Icon\button to skip to end do the same thing.

- drag&drop stops working after the first file (denied icon until program restart)

- zoom only works when the video is stopped, not while playing, like the old versions.

- please, make the program suggest a file name when saving (ex: source_name + maybe container ext)

- please add subs\chapters support someday in the future

No replies at all?
Anyway, about "File too short" error: if the timestamps are missing or incorrect, can't Avidemux switch from the "time mode" to "frame mode" for them?
These files will never be editable otherwise, unless we use the old 2.5.4 version.. which is strange: same program name with 2 different running versions??

need a sample flv

[phaolo]

I can't provide samples, because they're too big for the forum limits.
Also, only a few of them cause a "File too short" error,  the majority just create a broken file (still bad lol).

You can try, however, to download (ex: via DownloadHelper) some FLV video from Youtube and test it directly.
(small random test video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vTyEy7Dn70)
Just open it in Avidemux, save it with "copy" method and mp4 container, play it in Vlc.

I can't even open it (no stts table)

....which means it is a mp4
To avoid wasting time, please upload a small sample to rapidshare or similar

[phaolo]

Did you choose a quality <= 480p ?
High defs files are .mp4, lower are .flv (at least for DownloadHelper extension).
Anyway, here's the file: http://preview.filefactory.com/file/4gfe65mlzed1/random_youtube_video_test_flv   *deleted

Confirmed here, saving the flv with mp4 doesn't work properly, but mp4v2 does, so use that instead. I also second the suggestion for an automatic output filename in the original file's folder, having the correct extension for the selected container.

So you end up with an unplayable file, right ?

[mean]

Better with that ?

That seems to work!
Thanks

sorry, same problem (no stts tabe), and the download didn't work.
(report in that topic there)

Ok, this is fixed by default in 2.6.6, but anyway, what's the difference between mux "mp4" and "mp4v2"?
What's best? (I've already used "mp4" for a bunch of files..)

If I do a mp4-to-mp4 copy (with 2.6.6) as a test and check the outputs with a hex editor, I see this at the start:
-source_mp4: ....ftypmp42....isommp42
-dest_mp4: .. ftypisom....isomiso2avc1mp41
-dest_mp4v2: ....ftypmp42....mp42isom
