I have encoded some videos using Avidemux 2.5.4 (Debian multimedia version): MPEG4 ASP (XviD), MP3, MKV. Now I open the file in Avidemux (same version again), set AB markers and try to save a part of video, i.e. from frame 0 to 2000. Audio and video are set to COPY and container to MKV. The save ends up with error. It seems that during saving it reaches some "no-go" point that it cannot cope with.
Can I post a sample file somewhere (100MB)?
You might try 2.5.6 if there's a tarball for your OS.
You can upload to Rapidshare, but maybe 25MB is probably easier.
Gist a copy of your log, the whole thing from when you start avidemux through the error.
I couldn't compile the 2.5.6 version. The process ends up with error on 97%. Is there any howto in order to get a log?

I use Debian Squeeze with enabled repositories debian-multimedia. Everything is installed, here is the output from compilation.
Complains of missing files?

If you used tarball 2.5.6 Can you use this svn?
svn co svn://svn.berlios.de/avidemux/branches/avidemux_2.5_branch_gruntster/This is the latest source, perhaps issues have gone in this version?
I'm afraid SVN makes no difference eventually ???
A few of things come to mind. First is what compiler are you using? I think I saw gcc. If so please tell me what it says:
gcc --version
Next, we can get a lot more info out of CMake if we build verbosely. Please change this line in bootStrap.sh
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PREFIX -DAVIDEMUX_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PREFIX .. || fail cmake
to read this
cmake -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=true -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PREFIX -DAVIDEMUX_INSTALL_PREFIX=$PREFIX .. || fail cmake
Also, ffmpeg has been known to be twitchy when you compile in parallel. Please change this line in bootStrap.sh
make -j 3 || fail make_main
to read this:
make -j 1 || fail make_main
Do a clean extract and build like you did before. When you want to show us what happened, please do not attach your log file. Please paste your logfile into a gist or pastebin, and put the URL to it in your reply. That makes your issue searchable on google, makes it easy to see if someone doesn't have a login here, and conforms to forum standards where attachments are discouraged due to security issues. Not to be a jerk, but I'm getting tired of those things.
Thanks for stepping in nibbles. Is this making a difference? Building as user with sudo or as SU?

@Jan that is just reminder message that gets echo to your screen, in case you are like most people and your system dirs are not writeable.
@tuharsky - The file that is failing to compile or work right, ADM_infoExtractor_h264.cpp, gets built into libADM_infoExtractor_cli.a.
It contains an undefined reference. So let's go back up the config log and find that file, when it is compiled into that lib.
There we can see what is happening, if all the -I/include/stuff/is/there or not, or whatever.
Here's a gist of when ADM_infoExtractor_h264.cpp is compiled. (https://gist.github.com/1921156)
It says MALLOC.H and MANGLE are redefined. That's probably not good. Can anybody confirm? Other chaos ensues.

@nibbles Please, give me a more verbose hint on what to do. I'm not a programmer. ???
I was wrong, those are just warning, as Jan pointed out. Searching the net for ff_se_golomb_vlc_code, it turns out there's already a thread here that Jan was on (heh). It's over here: http://www.avidemux.org/smf/index.php?topic=10204.0
It looks like we'll have to add an object file to the executable. Easy enough. Let met check on it here....
The avidemux2_cli is linking against this:
ADM_libraries/ffmpeg/libavcodec/libADM5avcodec.so.53
but to see how libavcodec is being built, we need to build ffmpeg verbosely. Mean was able to get 2.6 to build verbosely, but I can't so far. I'm working on it. I want to see if libavcodec is being built against golomb.o. It is on 2.6 on my machine. But that's not helpful really. Ok that's it for now. (I tried to use /usr/bin/make V=1 VERBOSE=1 for the make command to ffmpeg, but no joy).
when doing an @ ~/avidemux_2.5_branch_gruntster$
sudo ./bootStrap_debug.sh the error is occurring to, as mean noticed in the other thread?
QuoteLD ffmpeg_g
gcc: error: ffmpeg.o: No such file or directory
gcc: error: cmdutils.o: No such file or directory

I was just going to try to reproduce his error. I'll start that when svn starts working again.
As far as trying to get his software to link, the avidemux cmake code is ok. It is likely a compiler or optimization issue like Mean suggested. This is a widespread bug though, and we should figure it out why he can't compile this.
@Jan I'm sorry I didn't understand why you posted that, unless you think it's similar. But that's ffmpeg.o not found, as versus golomb.o not being linked into libavcodec, which we can't see what's happening because no verbose output. We should be able to ldd the thing though and find whether the golomb symbols are there.

We patch ffmpeg during the CMake process to make private APIs available to Avidemux. "ff_se_golomb_vlc_code" is not one we've needed to expose in the past but you could try adding "ff_se_golomb_vlc_code" to the "libavcodec.v" file (in avidemux/ADM_libraries/ffmpeg/libavcodec) so it is exported. Not sure why other platforms don't need this though.
I was able to confirm the OP original issue in 2.5.6. Encode an xvid lame mkv, open the mkv, mark ab, save in copy copy as mkv, error. Working on a decent analysis with output and debug trace.
On OSX, looking up the symbols inside libavcodec, using
$ nm -gm /usr/local/lib/libADM5avcodec.53.dylib | grep ff_se_golomb
0000000000340a60 (__TEXT,__const) external _ff_se_golomb_vlc_code
I see it there on my system, consistent with Gruntster's experience.
I expect you will not find it if you do the same thing.
As Grunster mentioned, they patch libavcodec.v already using a patchfile.
We will give you a new patchfile for 2.5.6 with ff_se_golomb_vlc_code in it.
Replace this original:
cmake/patches/libavcodec_libavcodec.v.patch
with this new patchfile (https://raw.github.com/2bits/patches/master/libavcodec_libavcodec.v.patch) I crafted and stored on github. Let us know how it works.
@nibbles My attempt ended with cmake error
https://gist.github.com/1971811
Interesting. I created the patch for 2.5.6. You might tray that.
From your gist, it looks like it patched ok:

But then it complains about configure failing:
-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!
*** fail cmake ***
We'll have to investigate whether I did something weird to the patch that could affect configure. Seems odd, but anyway. Let's have you find your config.log for ffmpeg which should be left in the directories somewhere. Start in the top level where bootStrap.sh is, and
find . -type f -name "config.log"
The log is here: /usr/src/avidemux_2.5_branch_gruntster/buildMain/avidemux/ADM_libraries/ffmpeg
posted at Gist:
https://gist.github.com/2002970
I can't tell from that last gist. It looks like normal output as it tries different flags.
Don't build as root though. That's asking for problems you might wish to avoid risking.
What I would do, and it's complex sort of, but essentially this is the idea:
extract the source from tarball and hack admFFMpegBuild.cmake so that
you exit 1 just before it runs configure for ffmpeg.
Then manually run configure in the terminal, copying the configure command
from that gist you posted. That way ffmpeg will be freshly extracted and
patched by cmake as usual.
I'm sorry, but this is beyond my skills.
Any idea, what is making Avidemux crash upon saving a part of MKV?
Hi,
has anybody else been successfull debuging the crash on copy-save mkv?
No, that is far beyond my knowledge. You're still trying to compile 2.5.6? When you started in your terminal it shows you where logged in as root or as superuser and not as normal user. Normal terminal prompt should end like this:
Quotejan@DH67BL:~$
The prompt for your terminal showed:
Quoteroot@bluetux:/usr/src/avidemux_2.5_branch_gruntster#
That might have created problems with read-write rights issues.
Best you remove/delete /usr/src/avidemux_2.5_branch_gruntster might need to do that as root and try the complete process again.
Make sure you're in
User Terminal and not
Root terminal! if prompt not ending with
$ you don't have a user terminal!
Change to your home directory:
cd ~ Get source code
svn co svn://svn.berlios.de/avidemux/branches/avidemux_2.5_branch_gruntster/ Go into to newly created directory
cd ~/avidemux_2.5.6Start building:
sudo ./bootStrap.shIf all goes well it should end with this:
Quote-- Installing: /usr/lib/ADM_plugins/audioEncoders/libADM_ae_faac.so
* All Done *
I have successfully compiled SVN Avidemux 2.5.5 (r7908).
Now, the videos are saved without error message, however, the resulting files are incorrect - sound synchronisation seems corrupt, and the latter part of video cannot seek properly.
In contrast, the stable version complains during save with some files, however the resulting files seem fully correct.
Try with 2.6? Most sound issues are gone there?
Check ff_se_golomb_vlc_code is present in the text file
libavcodec.ver
for avidemux_2.5_branch_gruntster, says something else :
ff_h264_info;
ff_golomb_vlc_len;
ff_ue_golomb_vlc_code;
local: *;
