Avidemux Configure

i just downloaded the tar of avidemux. but can't figure how to install it. there is no configure file so i cant ./configure it.... yet in the install guide it says cd to directory and run ./configure...

any help, please? nice one.

Isn't always ./configure, depends on the build tools some create the configure. Either see if there's a readme or install file or sometimes the main site will have install instructions.

I vaguely recall reading a post from you that you added packman to your repositories already? If so, finding packages like avidemux should be intuitively obvious. Seriously, if it comes to looking for a multimedia application for openSUSE, then packman is the very first place I look. I think you may by benefit from doing the same.

Good luck.

yes that is right, the packman repo is added, but for some reason i just never think to look in yast>software management etc :blink: luckily i got dvdfab working under wine, avidemux is what i needed to convert to .avi as autogk wouldnt work under wine cheers.

Not a big fan of zypper at the moment (a little slow) but if you do not wish to jump into yast>software management then you can open your konsole and issue "zypper install avidemux" after a "zypper refresh", of course. That is about as equivalent as you can get using smart or apt-get to install packages.

hi all, got avidemux in there fine, just downloaded the 1 click install from webpin, quite why i never thought of this before i don't know.

cheers everyone. i have wireless internet on linux, dvd rippers, music rippers, music and video players....why, windows is soon to be gone

I still keep MS-Windows around for custom applications that the office (where I work) requires me to use. Since installing Virtual Box on my openSUSE some months back (with winXP running under virtual box), means I hardly ever reboot to the winXP partition. Its much quicker to flash up the winXP virtual session.

My DVD/video knowledgeable friend who is a big winXP user, still claims MS-Windows apps are superior (to Linux) for DVD creation, and having seen the advanced DVD menu (and subtitle) editing that he can do, I have to agree with him. But I also know that the features he uses, are so advanced I doubt I would ever have a requirement for those features, and hence Linux (and thus openSUSE) work just fine for me when it comes to encoding and DVD backup, and also DVD creation.

of course, Windows encoding tools are more powerful. There's nothing remotely available for Linux when it comes to encoding/editing. Avisynth, which is THE most powerful encoding scripting tool, is still not ported to Linux, though some efforts are being made to bring it to Linux, but the progress is very very slow, if not stagnated

as is the case with oldcpu, for all i need the tools i now have running under linux are adequate for my needs. i can copy/convert dvds to .avi, i can choose quality of video and audio etc. can burn discs fine using either k3b or nero (which i prefer).
