Title: libavcodec version
Post by: MrC on April 08, 2016, 06:21:21 PM
Hi, is it possible to know the libavcodec version embedded in Avidemux?
How can I get this information from avidemux user interface?

The question come from .. a FLV video I can play with MediaPlayer with latest K-lite codec pack (since 11.75 version), which uses LAV Video Decoder 0.67.0.3-git, can't play in Avidemux,
It stops after 30s of play, probably for some metadata error i can't fix.

Thanks

The name of the library contains the version of the library
Also, the source code contains the full source
At the moment it is
ffmpeg-2.7.6
made of
libavcodec_VERSION=56.41.100
libavdevice_VERSION=56.4.100
libavfilter_VERSION=5.16.101
libavformat_VERSION=56.36.100
libavutil_VERSION=54.27.100
libpostproc_VERSION=53.3.100

Why is libavformat version so old? I think it's 68 now ..
I need at least the version 67 to decode the video without problems, is it possible to update/change this library?

Thanks a lot

Because ADM isn't a cutting edge decoder but a free video editor for all to enjoy.

Unlike its commercial counter parts, the development resources here are the labour of a few and subject to time permitting.
Commercial video editors with cutting edge decoders are available (hope you have deep pockets!).

IMHO - give it time!

Ok, of course I'm so grateful to all developers.
I'm just curious if there's some trick to update the library, just to solve my problem, nothing more.
Thanks again to everybody

If you (c/w)ould provide a 40 seconds sample of such a video showing this behaviour, dev(s) could have a look at this issue.

ps:- Use a free dropbox account, mega or similar webservice (free public access, without registration to download your uploaded video) thank you.
