x265

[Blues]

What is the current state of x265 support. I run Gentoo and there is no indication of x265 support. I understand it may be because the ebuild is not up to current. Will I get x265 support if I build from source?

update: x265 went to version 1.5 (12/02/2015)
Maybe?
You're most likely need to build x265 1st: http://www.videolan.org/developers/x265.html
then build avidemux from current source:

Can only tell you how it is done on ubuntu 14.04.1
x265:
- install hg 1st:
- get x265 source:

hg clone http://hg.videolan.org/x265

will put in your user home
- build x265 (-j8) where 8 stands for supported cpu core(s) and thread(s) (core i5 = 4, core i7 = 4 + 4)[/s]

cd ~/x265/build
cmake ../source
make -j8
sudo make install

avidemux 2.6.8:
get source:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/mean00/avidemux2.git

If you don't have nvidia videocard that supports vdpau, you can leave the ones with vdpau in filename out. These are probably all needed/required:

update from online source:

Code Select Expand

cd ~/avidemux2 && git pull

Depending on gento requirement install files deb, tgz or rpm build avidemux with one of these lines:

Code Select Expand

cd ~/avidemux2 && bash bootStrap.bash --deb --with-qt4 --without-gtk --with-cli
cd ~/avidemux2 && bash bootStrap.bash --tgz --with-qt4 --without-gtk --with-cli
cd ~/avidemux2 && bash bootStrap.bash --rpm --with-qt4 --without-gtk --with-cli

hope you can adapt above to Gentoo instructions and can build successful.

Thanks, will try it.
