🎬 Avidemux

Avidemux is a simple platform video editor for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X.

Fork

This fork solves window resizing and video zooming issues in the official, upstream Avidemux project.

Issues fixed

• When opening a file, don't resize the window to the dimensions of the video, because you may have already set your desired window size.
• When opening a file, automatically zoom the video once to fit in the existing window dimensions, because if there is extra space in your large window, you'll want to use it, and if you have a small window, you don't want the video to be cropped.
• When closing a file, don't resize the window to the smallest possible size, because you may have already set your desired window size, and you want to maintain that size in the next file you open in the same window.

Compiling

Compiling a Windows executable using a Linux build machine

These instructions were tested on Debian 10.3.

Full instructions are available from Avidemux and MXE (a cross-compiler environment that lets you build Windows executables using Linux).

1. Install packages.

   sudo apt install autoconf automake autopoint bash bison bzip2 cmake flex g++ g++-multilib gettext git gperf intltool libc6-dev-i386 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-dev libltdl-dev libssl-dev libtool-bin libxml-parser-perl lzip make openssl p7zip-full patch perl pkg-config python ruby sed unzip wget xz-utils yasm

2. Install MXE.

   sudo mkdir /opt/mxe
   sudo chown $(whoami): /opt/mxe
   git clone https://github.com/mxe/mxe.git /opt/mxe

3. Configure MXE.

   echo "MXE_TARGETS :=  i686-w64-mingw32.shared x86_64-w64-mingw32.shared" > /opt/mxe/settings.mk
   mkdir -p /opt/mxe/usr/x86_64-w64-mingw32.shared/out /opt/mxe/usr/i686-w64-mingw32.shared/out

4. Compile dependencies. This step takes about 2.5 hours.

   cd /opt/mxe
   make qttools qtwinextras sdl2 ogg vorbis lame a52dec faad2 fdk-aac libmad opus fribidi libass xvidcore x264 x265

5. Clone the Avidemux source.

   cd
   git clone https://github.com/Aldaviva/avidemux.git
   cd avidemux

6. Compile Avidemux. This takes about 4.5 minutes the first time and 40 seconds for subsequent builds.

   bash bootStrapCrossMingwQt5_mxe.sh --64 --rebuild

7. The compiled executable and all dependencies will be written to a ZIP file avidemux/packaged_mingw_build_*/avidemux_r*_win64Qt5.zip.
