I'm on Mint 17. Do I need to install ffmpeg to use avidemux?
Not if you intend only to use avidemux, it has an internal one. If you want to use outside: yes or use if already present in your release?
avconv --version
if already present in your release?
QuoteI want to combine a single picture with an hour long MP3 to make a video in AVI that I can upload to YouTube.
>8 >8 >8
Does part 2 mean I have to copy, then paste thousands of copies of the single image for all the frames of the video I want?
Paste to where?
Not exactly:
- You load your png (rgb) picture in avidemux
- Once your picture is loaded, copy this in avidemux with simultaneous key press [
Ctrl][
C]
- Now you can paste is with [Ctrl][
V] and keep it pressed down.
- Keep an eye on the navigation while doing so.
- You will notice the
time increasing at: [Time] [0:00:00.000] /
00:00:10:640 or at B: [00:00:10.640]

- keep it pressed down until you have +- 60 seconds
- now move slider to end of your 60 seconds created video clip in avidemux and mark this location [ B]
- again copy this marked bloc video with [
Ctrl][
C]
- and paste this marked video with [Ctrl][
V] and keep it pressed down. until the timer reaches the required time + 1 minute extra of your required video time.
That should be it ;)
Remarks:
When you save the video like that you get an avi of 19.9 GB in png video format, and it will very rarely play.
Probably you need to chose another container instead of avi, like .mp4 and choose a Video Output like Mpeg4 AVC (x264).
Depending the screen format of the used image (720x576) this will take another 16 minutes to create the video (36.7 MB).
