I am attempting to trim MP4 files and then save this as a copy (ie. save as MP4, no re-encoding).
Previously under windows I had no problems doing this but I've recently switched to Linux Mint 18 which is where I'm having the problems.
All Mint Updates are applied and I'm running AVIDEMUX 2.6.19. My source files are MP4
Settings
- Video Output set to Copy
- Audio Output set to Copy
This is the behaviour under various Output Formats;
MP4 Muker - AVIDEMUX says "File saved sucessfully" however is cannot be played in a media player. XPlayer show "An error Occurred, Stream contains no data". VLC player cannot play either.
MP4v2 Muxer - cannot be saved. AVIDEMUX throws the error "Info - Muxer cannot open"
Mkv Muxer - saves correctly and is playable
So Mkv is fine but theres issues somewhere with MP4.
I feel like there's a Codec issue somewhere so I've confirmed that Mint-Meta-Codecs is installed. Is there something else AVIDEMUX needs to work properly under Mint 18?
Thanks
Did you build avidemux 2.6.19 yourself?
Linux Mint 18 is that Ubuntu based 12.04?

Install missing and try again.
If this fails, upload a short clip +- 100MB, that poses this issue with mp4 muxers.
See info: Upload Hochladen Télécharger Subir (http://avidemux.org/smif/index.php/topic,17418.0.html)
Eventually if you're building you could try in the directory where you have avidemux github:
bash createDebFromSourceUbuntu.bash
QuoteMy source files are MP4
This means nothing. Please post the output of
ffprobe /path/to/your/source/file
