[Solved] avidemux3_qt5 segfault

[nobanzai]

I've started the encoding, so far so good
(The mpeg2 encoder was broken in 2.6.13, you *must* use a nightly)

I already had a look for nightly builds, but on sourceforge I could not find one for linux, only for windows and mac.
Where do I have to look?

Thx and bye.
Michael.

see if universal app works on your OpenSuze http://www.avidemux.org/nightly/appImage/

doesn't seem so:

Or is there something special I should do besides downloading and running?

You could build Avidemux yourself.

Code Select Expand

# zypper si -d avidemux3

Clone the repository, patch bootStrap.bash to change the prefix to /usr/local (/usr/local/lib64 or /usr/local/lib must be in your search path for libs then) and build Avidemux by running

Code Select Expand

bash bootStrap.bash --rebuild

Then copy the content of install/usr/local as root over your /usr/local directory and you're done.

I hoped to avoid building it myself, but if it is the only way ...

Thx for your answer.

I hoped to avoid building it myself, but if it is the only way ...

Why? This is the best way by far.

By the way, could you please reveal the reason to reencode h264 in a HD resolution as mpeg2? Making a video DVD? It is such an awful waste of storage and loss of quality.

PS: If you run into problems while trying to build Avidemux, questions are welcome.

I know, but in most cases it is not done with just building, but one has to install a bunch of devel packages, libs and so on.
And this is something, I try to avoid - you can just call me lazy

I have a few relatives living far away, who are only capable of playing video DVDs.
Sometimes they want me to record some tv broadcast and send them the DVD.

Thx for your offer!
I hope, I don't need your help, but one never knows.

Bye.

where can I find the git repo for avidemux3 - the link you had in your answer points to avidemux2.
I couldn't find the repo searching via google, too.

Thx and bye.

this is the current git branch for avidemux3 (avidemux 2.6.13.* ): https://github.com/mean00/avidemux2 . This avidemux2 is folder / location that is all.

ic - thx.

I'm a bit confused, because I couldn't find a _qt5 subdir.
Is avidemux3_qt5 from a different repo? Or am I just blind?

[mean]

Qt4 & Qt5 shares the same source code
just run boostrap.bash the default are good enough

Hi,

thx to all who helpfully answered my question.

I rebuilt the latest snapshot from the git repo without any problem - and: No more crashes in the mpeg2 video converter.

Bye.
Michael.
