Main version 2.6 / Re: Still trying to fix a fram...

I've run into this before, and the only way I've gotten truly smooth results was by not "changing FPS" but remuxing with a fixed timebase (e.g., forcing 24000/1001 via a proper re-encode or ffmpeg-style -r with CFR), because that odd 23.976215 value usually means a broken or drifting timestamp stream, so simple FPS filters cause frame duplication/dropping and the stutter you're seeing.

Main version 2.6 / Re: Avidemux 2.8.2 development
Last post by sark - January 07, 2026, 01:29:31 PM
Quote from: sark on December 24, 2025, 11:56:25 AMI 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.

Quote from: eumagga0x2a on December 24, 2025, 01:00:24 PMIt 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.

Quote from: ReggieNJ on January 05, 2026, 11:05:49 PM4 years later... any update on when a new version might be released?
or at least a win64 version not bound to vc++ installer?

anyway, it seems, even vc++ last release is may 2025

Last post by sark - January 05, 2026, 01:00:17 PM
Durch das Remuxen der .ts-Datei in einen MKV- oder MP4-Container sollten viele überflüssige Daten (Nullbytes) entfernt werden. Ich bezweifle jedoch, dass sich die Dateigröße dadurch von 6 bis 8 GB auf 3 GB reduzieren lässt. Der Großteil dieses Unterschieds ist höchstwahrscheinlich auf die Art der Neukodierung der Medienbibliothek-Datei zurückzuführen.
Sie können Ihre Datei in Avidemux remuxen, indem Sie sie im Kopiermodus für Video und Audio in einen anderen Container exportieren.

Avidemux-German / Null-Bytes (Füll-Bytes) aus TS...
Last post by olli14 - January 05, 2026, 11:41:36 AM
Ich habe gelesen, daß in einem TS-Stream sogenannte Null-Bytes (oder Füll-Bytes) enthalten sind. Das Programm TS-Doctor soll in der Lage sein, solche Null-Bytes (oder Füll-Bytes) zu entfernen. Wie groß ist ungefähr der Anteil von Null-Bytes bei so einer TS-Datei? Lohnt es sich hier überhaupt, Null-Bytes zu entfernen?

Wenn ich eine Sendung von den öffentlich-rechtlichen Sendern in HD aufnehme, hat so eine Aufnahme schnell mal 6 GB bis 8 GB und mehr. Wenn diese Sendung in Mediathekwebview verfügbar ist, ist die Sendung um ein Vielfaches kleiner, vielleicht so 3 GB groß. Ich könnte hier nun vermuten, daß dieser Größenunterschied zum Teil an diesen Null-Bytes liegt. Liegt das daran?

Kann Avidemux auch Null-Bytes entfernen? Gibt es ein anderes kostenloses Programm (z.B. ffmpeg), daß zügig solche Null-Bytes aus einen TS-Stream entfernt?

Ich nehme nur Sendungen auf von den öffentlich-rechtlichen und den privaten Sendern über Satellit. Alle aufgenommenen Sendungen sind in 720p oder 1080i (H.264). Meine Fragen oben beziehen sich nur auf 720p oder 1080i Aufnahmen.

User interface and Usability / DRC setting
Last post by fhutt - January 04, 2026, 10:43:49 PM
I am running Avidemux V2.82 on windows 11.

I generally use the DRC settings with the default options. However, at times the resultant audio volume still varies to much with some areas too soft and others quite loud.

I understand most of the setting except the 'Ratio' and 'Normalize' settings.

Could someone please explain the meaning of these settings?

Usually, inconsistent indentation in Python should not work, at least, one should not use it ;-)

What is the purpose of encoding the audio track with LAME in default configuration to MP3 when better codecs (AAC) are available?

Is throwing an exception on encountering a file without an audio track while ignoring a possible failure of save() deliberate or just a blind copy from other people's old scripts?

Anyway, you could use something like

# -------- select input directory --------
inputFolder = ui.dirSelect("Select source folder")
if inputFolder is None:
    ui.displayError("Oops", "No source folder selected")
    return

# -------- read content --------
list = get_folder_content(inputFolder, ext)
if list is None:
    ui.displayError("Oops", "No " + ext + " files found in \"" + inputFolder + "\"")
    return

# -------- select output directory --------
outputFolder = ui.dirSelect("Select output folder")
if outputFolder is None:
    ui.displayError("Oops", "No output folder selected")
    return

if(inputFolder == outputFolder):
    ui.displayError("Error","Output folder cannot be the same as the input one")
    return

To strip directory from filein, use

filein = basename(filein)
and pass outputFolder + "\\" + filein as argument to save().

Windows / Batch Script but need to chang...
Last post by cxxm00 - January 02, 2026, 04:17:25 PM
Working script, but I need to change the output location to a different folder other than the input folder (c:\tmp).

Since it will be saved to a different folder, I want to use the same filename that is being loaded (like in this one), but without the ".edit.mp4"


ext="mp4"
inputFolder="c:\\tmp\\"
#
def convert(filein):
    if(0 == adm.loadVideo(filein)):
        ui.displayError("oops","cannot load "+filein)
        raise
    adm.videoCodec("Copy")
    adm.audioClearTracks()
    adm.setSourceTrackLanguage(0,"und")
    if adm.audioTotalTracksCount() <= 0:
            raise("Cannot add audio track 0, total tracks: " + str(adm.audioTotalTracksCount()))
    adm.audioAddTrack(0)
    adm.audioCodec(0, "Lame")
    adm.audioSetDrc(0, 1)
    adm.audioSetShift(0, 0, 0)
    adm.audioSetNormalize2(0, 2, 150, -30)
    adm.setContainer("MP4", "muxerType=0", "optimize=1", "forceAspectRatio=False", "aspectRatio=1", "displayWidth=1280", "rotation=0", "clockfreq=0")
    adm.save(filein+".edit.mp4")

    print("Done")

#
# Main
#
ui=Gui()
adm=Avidemux()
#
list=get_folder_content(inputFolder,ext)
if(list is None):
    raise
for i in list:
        convert(i)
print("Done")

Thanks a lot eumagga0x2a! You have solved my problem as by using the latest version available, fast conversion has come back again!! :). However, if possible, I would like to keep the thread open in case other slow conversion-related problems may arise.
