Title: Avidemux version support
Post by: sark on December 24, 2025, 11:56:25 AM
I notice the cross compiled Windows Avidemux has not been updated since Dec 24. The VC++ version May 25.
Can I assume from this that cross compiled versions are no longer being supported. If so, is it now recommended Windows users switch to the VC++ version of Avidemux.
I appreciate it is a huge undertaking to maintain various flavours of the same application, so this is not a request. I'm in the process of updating my system and just seeking some clarity.

Thankyou and Merry Xmas to all :)

It is somewhat complicated. There is no supply of official cross-compiled nightly builds, but whoever bothers to build it from source following the how-to, will find such builds as fully supported as Avidemux builds can be. On the other hand, while native, VC++-compiled official builds may be provided in the future, they are definitely worse supported as I cannot produce such builds myself.

I understand.

I did try updating via the Linux route, mainly due to the frustration of Windows 10, but I would lose some important (to me) apps. However, I did like Mint enough to decide to install it on an older small form PC I have. I'll see how Avidemux performs on this setup.

Thanks for clarifying.
