Avidemux Forum

Hey,

I compiled avidemux 2.8 for Arm64 and uploaded the installer DMG to Google drive:

I gave it a small test run and it works

Thank you for the info, much appreciated.

Yes, that one, either installer- or ZIP-packaged. I hope that there will be new builds soon (within 1-2 weeks timeframe).

Please make sure to install / extract into an empty directory and never run multiple Avidemux instances concurrently (not just different versions, really instances).

Indeed, Fosshub seems to be effectively defunct, other applications are also affected. Sourceforge still works: https://sourceforge.net/projects/avidemux/files/avidemux/2.8.1/

However, using less outdated 2.8.2 nightlies generally provides a better experience.

Thanks for getting back to me; that other one really does work. Regarding the options in `nightly/win64/`, should I just grab the latest executable—the one from "Aug 6 2026 7:51 PM"?
To be honest, I'm not very familiar with these options.

If you must have the VC++ version.

Hello, I can't download the latest version available on FossHub for Windows; the link redirects to the homepage. Is there another way to get the program?

Win64/VC++ 2.8.1 Install (64 bits), FossHub,

Exactly zero coding is involved in compiling Avidemux on macOS.

Unfortunately, as far as I understand the situation, the legal and technical framework that requires to be a registered Apple developer to distribute an arm64 (Apple Silicon) macOS app rules out the chance of an end-user friendly solution at least for the near future.

No, there haven't been any changes to bundled FFmpeg libs.

Cross-compiled builds should show the last git commit hash they have been generated from in "Help" --> "About Avidemux" dialog. Search for that commit in the repository then.

The course of action regarding FFmpeg will be evaluated as soon as possible. Whoever is concerned about security but needs to be able to sleep at night should never read Apple Clang warnings when compiling FFmpeg 

Quote from: MC on August 25, 2026, 07:33:37 AMHi,

Do you intent to update the included ffmpeg to a newer version (latest is 9.0.1) ?

several CVE issues have been fixed since 7.0.2

Hello,

But that's completely unverifiable...
It seems that adding features to AviDemux is more important than updating a version that's already running.
