Right, but it could be better. With longer videos this becomes quite inaccurate. I've always wished there would be sort of "zoom" function for precise seeking.  Holding down a key while scrolling mouse wheel, for instance.

Container metadata can be easily edited without touching audio and video inside of container. For instance mkvmerge for mkv container will let you edit most of metadata.

I may be completely wrong, but somehow I recall in Gentoo news OpenGL has been replaced with EGL.

Regarding rolling release distributions like Gentoo, Arch as well as bleeding-edge ones like Fedora: Qt 6.7.0 has broken OpenGL in Avidemux after it briefly worked in Qt 6.6.0. The new aspect of that is that it also for the first time broke OpenGL on macOS.

Yes, I should have requested refresh of nightlies nevertheless.

Blues,

If you don't reencode, then the video plays back with the aspect ratio that the metadata dictates on stand alone, 3rd party players, but not with browsers. There is no problem.  But if you reencode AVIDemux starts by treating the pixels as square.  You can stretch or squash them to whatever is correct, or you can force to set the AR metadata to do whatever you like.  The forced metadata container resize option is a little tricky to find inside the encoding setup and it depends on which video codec you are using.

I have a calculator that lets you reset forced AR in the metadata if you really want to do it at the bottom of this page: https://www.producerelease.com/blu-ray/parcalc.htm#wrapprcalc

Is there any player nowadays which ignores container metadata? I don't think so. IMHO that's the way to go instead of re-coding.

May I recommend building it for yourself? It is not hard and the resulting binaries have never crashed for me. IMHO nothing beats locally built software, using compiler optimizations for your CPU. I run Gentoo, BTW, over 21 years now. An OS that never crashed on me, except some very rare hardware lockups.

Adding an external AC3 6 channel to a project, this has happened several times:

1) open project and save in copy mode 6 channel AC3 audio
2) execute some edits to the video
3) add back in the external, unmolested 6 channel AC3 audio
4) encode both audio and video

The audio becomes muffled, skewed to the right channels.
Encoding the original internal track is fine. The problem is only with adding the external track.

Workaround, use mkvtoolnix, remux the encoded video with the original source file, then encode the audio in avidemux and the result is fine.

Audio samples attached.

Hello everyone, latest build was avidemux_r240316 from Mar 16 2024. When we can expect newest version on https://www.avidemux.org/nightly?

Bonjour, et excusez moi d'abord pour avoir répondu si tard.

J'avais relancé un encodage et Xubuntu s'était encore bloqué.

Je vous donne en lien les deux fichiers : https://we.tl/t-bw5MdHDujt
(le script de job, et le retour de l'encodage).

Bonne journée à vous et merci !
