Avidemux crash when converting mp4 file

English Multimedia
#1

I am having a problem with avidemux when trying to convert a specific mp4 file, it crash and sometimes it crash the entire system, the problem is just with one file, other files convert with no problem

https://easgs.files.wordpress.com/2016/08/instantc3a1nea1.png

the problematic video is the first one, I can see that the differece with the second one is the audio stream, it has an AC-3 audio stream, I think it might be an audio missing codec problem, with avidemux in Windows it converts with no problem.

#2

Here is some output when running the program from the console

did you get avidemux from packman or from OBS (as some users seam to have build it)
http://packman.links2linux.org/package/avidemux
http://software.opensuse.org/package/avidemux
have you done a full vendor change with packman?
what’s your repo list?

zypper lr -d

edit
there seams to be an updated version on packman, one that uses Qt5 and has a new name avidemux3
http://packman.links2linux.org/package/avidemux3
maybe you should try that but I still think it’s an oss package that needs to be replaced with one from packman do a full vendor change

#4

this is the version I am using

I guess this version is very old because the most recent version in the avidemux site is 2.6.12 (2016.3.5), but in packman the most recent version is this one 2.5.6.

#5

Hi
The 2.6.12 version is there, it’s called avidemux3 and avidemux3-qt5.

#6

I’m not sure why packman decided to call the 2.6.12 version avidemux3 maybe because it uses Qt5 and there is not gtk version, just install avidemux3

zypper in avidemux3

the above will work if you have the packman repo, btw you did not tell us your repo list because the old 2.4 version should still work, most likely you need to do a full vendor change (if you do not know what that is you have not done it)

#7

I didn´t know that either, I will give it a try

#8

Uninstalling Avidemux 2.5.6 and installing Avidemux3 from packman did the trick, thanks.

just as an observation I think avidemux should has some error handling to let the user about the problem instead of crashing.

#9

If you start an app from command line in a console it will show errors if they occur

#10

as far as I can tell the old version should work too, the way I understood it the packman maintainers wanted to keep a gtk and qt4 build of avidemux, as the avidemux developers dropped those builds their latest version 2.6.12 is qt5 only, so packman just renamed the update package and kept the old version too, doing a zypper dup with packman should have fixed things, but I haven’t used avidemux in ages I usually run ffmpeg from a terminal when I need to convert a media file

#11

Not really.
When avidemux3 was added to Packman, there was not even a Qt5 version yet I think (at least there was no Qt5 included in openSUSE yet :wink: ).

And there’s still a avidemux3-qt4 package in Packman for 13.2. So they explicitly switched to Qt5 on purpose for newer distributions (that come with Plasma5 as default).

IIRC, the main reasons to create a new package avidemux3 (instead of replacing avidemux with the newer version) years ago were that 2.6 was not considered completely stable yet at that time, and that it had fundamental changes of how it works (which may have been positive for some people but negative for others).

Read here: http://lists.links2linux.de/pipermail/packman/2014-February/012795.html

With avidemux3 the QT4 interface is recommended. The GTK interface is more an
experimental one.

BTW: avidemux3 is still a little bit more buggy. Sometimes is crashes while
scrolling in the video, sometimes it crashes, when jumping to the start of the
video, sometimes it crashes, when start coding. So you should save the
project, whenever you changed something!

An unfortunately partial filters are still not provided and maybe will never
be.

So originally avidemux3 had a Qt4 and GTK interface.

And even older:

But on the other hand it does not support partial filters or frame accurate
cutting. Therefore avidemux 2.6 isn’t a replacement for avidemux 2.5 but a
supplement.
