Hi there,
I am running on a Kubuntu 12.10 amd64 box, and I have a question about Avidemux.
Well, I am not very experienced about Linux neither an expert systems programmer, but you know ... I am curious.
The question is in fact related to FFmpeg : It seems that Ubuntu is using some FFmpeg libraries ( version 0.8.5 ) and Avidemux, on the other hand, is wearing some other FFmpeg libraries ( version 1.* ) . What I am wondering is how the precompiled packages that are publicly available ( through GetDeb.net or those offered in this forum ) interact with the system so that they don't break any third party application which depends on FFmpeg Ubuntu original libraries.
I can guess that one way to manage this issue would be to include FFmpeg libraries ( version 1.* ) on Avidemux packages and then make whatever needed call to these included libraries in an STATIC way ... but, to be sincere, I am not sure if this is how it works.
I would appreciate if someone could shed some light on this concern.
Thank you !!!
avidemux comes with its own ffmpeg
The lib are renamed i.e; libavcodec => libADMxavcodec
so the system lib are not changed/altered
