it goes to save a video and the program just hangs and wont do anything it just freezes.
im using this on windows 8.1

Please uninstall whatever Avidemux versions are currently installed (anything older than 2.7.1 is legacy and unsupported) and try out either r190103 from here if you have a 64 bits Windows or r190104 from here if it is 32 bits.

If problems persist, please provide details (admlog.txt from %localappdata%\avidemux, literally quoted Windows error messages etc.).

[realwildchild]

no still not working on either 32bit or 64bit program

[eumagga0x2a]

Regrettably, you still haven't provided any usable information. Without such info and not having a Windows 8.1 installation to test it is impossible to assess what is going on.

[realwildchild]

how do i get this log i couldnt find it in the program section (admlog.txt from %localappdata%\avidemux,

[eumagga0x2a]

What do you mean by "program section"? This is the path to the folder where admlog.txt is stored by Avidemux. The path contains an environment variable %localappdata%, enter this path into the location bar of Windows Explorer or using the "run" dialog to open this folder.

If Avidemux doesn't even arrive at the point when it can create the folder and the file, there should be some error messages from Windows which could shed light on the problem.

In other words, Avidemux (a win64 win32 nightly from 2019-01-04) runs just fine. What is the problem?

edit: oops, it was not a 64bit build...
...and the operating system is Windows 8, not Windows 8.1.

Does the latest build from https://avidemux.org/nightly/vsWin64/ ("Avidemux_2.7.1 VC++ 64bits 190109.exe") fail to run? What about r190113 from here?

[realwildchild]

yeah thats from 2004 youre looking at.
after i finish editing a file and go to encode it,the program just hangs and wont do anything

[eumagga0x2a]

I can confirm that the Xvid encoder is broken (it crashes on Linux actually in the libxvidcore library, but maybe hangs on Windows, can't test at the moment). You could use the Mpeg4 ASP (ff) encoder for now if you really have to use legacy stuff (DivX and AVI container).

[eumagga0x2a]

FFmpeg crashes when trying to encode using xvid4 too, so I think it is libxvidcore which is broken.

[eumagga0x2a]

libxvidcore works on Fedora only when built with assembly disabled, otherwise crashes immediately.

[realwildchild]

so do i just reinstall FFmpeg  and the mpeg encoders to?
