Avidemux Forum

I was able to try the nightly briefly on an AMD (not Intel) PC with an AV1-capable hw encoder accessible via VA-API and didn't succeed in triggering "resource temporarily unavailable" error. Maybe I didn't try hard enough, maybe one needs Intel graphics for that. Will keep an eye on it.

Instead, I witnessed that OpenGL in the official nightly didn't work on Fedora 42 (it worked fine in a local build).

Thank you for your report.

Hi,
avidemuxLinux_GLIBC_2.36_amd64_250516_1308.app

Encoding to Intel av1 throws no error
or sometimes error
"Too short - The saved video is incomplete. The error occurred at 00:00:00,120 (0%). This may happen as result of invalid time stamps in the video"

which could be for tv recordings but it didn't do that before for the same files.

and resulting file contains just the first frame and complete audio.
Using Intel Core Ultra 7 which is capable of av1 hardware encoding (I tried gpu screen recorder and it works ok)

I did this with a Linux Mint live iso because this laptop is brand new and not mine..Windows on it.. Intel h264 and hevc, av1 libaom (slooow) work btw

$cat /proc/cpuinfo

P.S. btw thanks @eumagga0x2a for your work, just trying to help debugging, interested in intel av1..

Could you please uninstall libb2-1 again and verify using the latest appImage from https://avidemux.org/nightly/appImage4Buster/ (it has been built on Bookworm, not on Buster, glibc 2.36 = Bookworm) that the issue is really fixed?

Upon a closer look, it turned out to be that also XviD and Opus libs were missing, thank you for raising the topic.

https://github.com/AnimMouse/ffmpeg-autobuild/releases this one definitely works on Win7.

You have to change Video output from "Copy" to the preferred encoder to do frame accurate cuts/trims.

That sounds frustrating! I once had similar trouble trying to edit video files from a lesser-known camera brand. The file formats can sometimes cause compatibility issues with certain editors like avidemux. When I couldn't get help from forums, I tried discussing with others on Omegle, and surprisingly, I found someone who had fixed the same issue. You might get lucky talking to other tech enthusiasts there—it's worth a shot!

That sounds really frustrating! I've had similar problems with video files from less common camera brands—sometimes software just can't handle their formats well. Since I also run into compatibility issues now and then, I try alternative tools for converting or handling files first. For quick and simple conversions, I often use Monkey Mart; it's surprisingly good at dealing with tricky file types before editing them elsewhere. Hope you find a solution soon!

KC,

The only method I know is to upconvert a copy of your media to lossless / uncompressed.  Then edit from that copy.  Once everything looks good, then compress down to whatever quality and size, you prefer.

More ideal is to get the master uncompressed original and edit that so you don't lose a generation.

Hello, dear friends!
Namaste! from India.

I'm new to this forum. I genuinely need your guidance on video trimming. Actually, I've been trying to trim a video, but it's either past or post the time stamp I want. Maybe it's taking frames and not time. Is it possible using Avidemux to crop at an exact time stamp?

I do hope you guys help me out, and pardon me for my poor English.
