After indexing the video,  avidemux surface stays gray. Terminal:

[mean]

It's experimental and half broken at the moment

[Jan Gruuthuse]

That's why I'm testing.

[mean]

It's mostly for windows/Mac, they dont have a reliable fast display engine atm

[Jan Gruuthuse]

OK

[AQUAR]

All we have is the "default raster" for rendering images.
I guess that is some directx filter.
Using graphedit it seems videos render with VRM7 (on my old PC with windows 7).

SDL might give us back the opengl display option.

[mean]

It should be mostly working on windows now

[AQUAR]

I'll give it a test run.

[Jan Gruuthuse]

Only enable SDL2 on windows, more problems than its worth on linux

I agree with your decision/findings. Did remove enabled sdl2 ubuntu builds from my postings.
