Avidemux Forum

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.

Please be aware that Avidemux for Linux is unusable with Wayland. If you cannot use an X11 session, please make sure you set environment variable QT_QPA_PLATFORM for Avidemux to "xcb", e.g. call it like

QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb /full/path/to/avidemux3_qt6
to force XWayland. On PCs with NVIDIA graphics using recent NVIDIA drivers, even hardware acceleration (VDPAU, NVDEC and NVENC as well as OpenGL) works just fine with XWayland in a Wayland session. The experience with non-NVIDIA or older hw or oder drivers may be much worse.
