Title: Avidemux with 1080x1920 video
Post by: JP on July 08, 2013, 09:43:30 PM
I'm running avidemux on Linux with 1080x1920 video and the video window is too large.  My monitor is only 1080x1920.  Can I reduce the size of this window?

Try numeric keypad: [3], [2] or [1]

I tried 3, 2, and 1 on the numeric keypad.  As far as I can tell, nothing changed.  What was supposed to happen?

Avidemux video canvas should zoom in/out.

The video canvas size, and the size of the avidemux window didn't change.  The size of the avidemux window is larger than my screen.  However, I should note that I'm also having problems displaying any video: the canvas window is always green when I try to play anything.

try avidemux 2.6.4 QT instead of GTK version.1 2 3 4 should change size of displayed video, not while playing: avidemux is not a videoplayer.

Type View >Zoom 1:2 or 1:4
Try with Shift+Ctrl+2 or Shift+Ctrl+4 first, but probably will not work!
Green screen mean the file codec is not supported.

Or combination of codec and video card driver is not supported/found.

Okay.  However, I can play both the raw AVI file or the MPEG1 file with mpalyer and ffmpeg.  So, since those programs can find the codec, and I assume avidemux looks in the same place for the codecs, that means, .... actually I don't know what that means.

Also, I know that avidemux isn't a video player.  I want to use it to do simple edits (get rid of commercials).  I've only been trying to 'play' a file while I debug this, but that's only to debug the problems.  I don't intend to play files in avidemux if I get it working correctly on my system.

I plan on trying the avidemux 2.64 version later.

avidemux is partly using internal stuff.
On 2.5 video card setting should be under Main Menu: Tools: Preferences: [Video] Video display: select something else here. Close avidemux and restart and see if it works.
What linux are your running, version, 32/64-bit?
