Avidemux Forum

You know, not for nothing, but if the concern with adding a PNG-export feature is wanting to avoid growing avidemux's already-considerable number of menu options, there is a way to avoid that: The "Save as Image" submenu's painfully out-of-date "Save as BMP" option could be replaced with a "Save selection as PNG" feature, and avidemux would have exactly the same number of menu options it had before. 

Some time between almost-a-decade-ago and 2.8.2, this was fixed! swResize now successfully re-loads stored dimensions, when modifying an existing filter. Yay.

For most video formats, you can probably use Handbrake to first extract the single video track (the one you want to edit with avidemux) from the multi-track file. It's an excellent transcoder / remuxer.

I want to share a similar problem, maybe the same of @misterr.

Avidemunx 2.8.2r250526 (Win x64) seems unable to open my Hikvision DVR HEVC recordings.
I attach admlog file and Mediainfo stream properties export file for further analysis.

Just for information, both VLC and integrated Windows media player open the file successfully.

Quote from: tropolite on May 14, 2025, 10:56:52 AMIs Windows version of Avidemux no longer being updated? I haven't seen any update since Dec '24.

Official native Windows nightly builds (built using Microsoft Visual Studio) from https://avidemux.org/nightly/vsWin64/ are back to being functional again starting with 250526. The only known new limitation: uninstall via Windows Settings does not work, at least on Windows 11, which is an upstream Qt installer bug. Use the link to the uninstaller in the start menu or navigate in Windows Explorer to Avidemux install directory and run the uninstaller from there.

The service of providing also official cross-compiled builds https://avidemux.org/nightly/win64 may or may not resume in the future.

Work on integration of important pull requests still stalled, hoping for more time to breathe later in June.

Will probably need to buy recent Intel hardware to be able to assess this problem and other known libva-related problems not existing on older Intel GPUs up to and including the 6th gen.

Thank you for verifying the fix.

Quote from: upwithav1 on May 25, 2025, 09:10:03 AMintel av1 still not working

Fully expected, no changes in that area.

250524 nightly, Intel av1 still not working (first frame only in resulting file). Maybe focus was on fixing libaom preview first, anyway just reporting.

I can confirm 250524 nightly completes libaom av1 + resize with no errors, intel av1 still not working, log in the other thread.

For constant bitrate I'm able to get a significantly better looking image out of OBS in real-time, whereas when using Avidemux it is below real-time and the quality is worse.  I'm using an RTX 5090, which has 3 NVENC chips, and I believe it is only using one.  Is this true, and if so are there any plans to change that?
