I'm running a conversion through Windows XP command line and I'm using a video file that I know has a bad avi header. The source is from Q-See cameras and their web-interface to record locally. I can't do anything about this since Q-See is the sloppiest/buggiest outfit I've ever come across when it comes to their native/propriety software. Nonetheless, my customer uses them and I have to work with what i have.
I am writing a script to record locally from the web-interface, convert the file to mp4 and then upload it to web automatically. Since this will all take place in command line, I was over-joyed that Avidemux could convert the files that I generate with the crappy Q-See interface that creates defective avi files. The only problem is that though all error messages and warning screens are supposed to be suppressed when using command line, I still get the error message, "Malformed Header", to which i have to click "OK" to make it go away and let the conversion take place.
Is there any way to suppress this warning as well?

if using the GUI:
QuoteYou can use ââ,¬â€œnogui option in case you want to suppress all dialogs (it must be first option!)
if using cli,
would it not help if you redirect an ascii (alt 013) from a text file?
< enter.txt
Also, If you have sample of such file, i could see if the warning is real or if it is a false alarm / too picky
-nogui didn't change anything. the exact same thing (as pictured in the original screenshot) happened.
and yes the header is malformed! Q-See makes some crappy software to run their equipment.
thanks for the help so far. i hope this thing can get sorted out...
try with avidemux_cli
it has no gui
is that a linux package or is there also a version of that for windows xp?
you should have the cli on both, for windows that should be avidemux_cli.exe
I was happy to find the avidemux_cli.exe file. when i ran it however i did not like the result (see screenshot below):

where can i get libxml2-2.dll and where should i copy it to? t Re-installed the program three times and it didn't just show up.

THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!
It worked! I downloaded and installed the latest version of 2.5 and copied libxml2-2.dll into the 2.6 folder and it worked perfectly when i called avidemux_cli.exe from the command line with the rest of my command.
BTW - I never realized that CLI had it's own application.
