Fantastic!  You have been very patient. 

One more question,  Do I need to lock the version?  Or will it be safe to upgrade if one pops up?

check the git if it does: https://github.com/mean00?tab=activity.
Don't think you will get a popup, unless your package provider would release a current one. Not 100% certain. If you check my postings, this would indicate the build was successful and was working.

the format of the posting would be like this

Glad you could solve your issues and have recent avidemux up and running.

if you need or would have issues with x264 or x265. It could be possible you need to build those yourself.
