avidemux is a very good free converter and basic editor(cut, join, filters). It supports most video input formats like avi, mov, wmv,asf, mkv, mp4, flv, vob, mpg and can convert to many video formats like avi xvid, avi-dv, mpg, mp4 h264, flv. This is a very basicguide to get you started with avidemux.

Required toolsavidemux (Or download the latest beta from http://www.razorbyte.com.au/avidemux/ but may be a bit buggy)

Guide

Open and JoinOpen your video file. You can also join files by choose File->Append(Note that video clip must have same width, height, framerate orelse wont it work). If you are opening a DVD then choose the VTS_01_1.vob(the main video might be under a different number so youmigh try different VTS_XX_01.vob) and all vobs will automatically be imported. Select Yes if you want index images.

It can only output AVI-DV with PAL settings(720x576 25fps).

what does it mean?when u say u can select the output format as av1,mpeg,dvd etc, then u say it can only output to av1.... i am notable to get to it. does it mean that this soft can output av1 files only???i tried to convert a av1 file.it's video is 536kbps,352*176,25fps,av1 audio is 32 kbps,mp3,the output format was selected as dvd and i wanted to change the audio to ac3 done. then i klicked save as x.mpg. the conversionstarted but says it says it need 75 minutes to convert.the same file in convertxtodvd took only 20 minutes to convert to mpeg-2 file. somebody told that av1demux is so fast. so i wanted totest it by converting an av1 file to mpeg-2.did i go wrong in making some selection?thnks

The target.

And when I say it can only output to avi-dv with pal settings I mean that it can output to avi with dv codec with PAL-settings but notwith NTSC-settings, everything else should work fine so if you are not making DV then ignore that. And convertxtodvd is probablyfaster but it depends what encoding settings you are using, if you want fast encoding use 1-pass encoding.

Hi BaldrickCan this tool be used to cut clips from vobs and output to mpg2 without re-encoding? Kind of like TMPgenc mpg editor. If so, can youprovide the instructions?

Thanks in advance

Yes follow the tutuorial as for cutting but choose "copy" as video and audio type and "MPEG PS (A+V)" as output type. Save as .mpg

When I cut a scene in Avidemux and save it, the name I gave the scene ("scene 1" or whatever else) appears on the clip andinterferes with the subtitles. Can I save a scene without the name being stamped on it?

Thank you.

After reading this guide I installed "Avidemux 2.4.3 (r4276)" and then tried to open an AVI file. It says "Attempt to open xxx.avifailed".I am surprised to see such a useless error message come up. What's wrong?

Your guess is as good as ours. Perhaps a screenshot of GSpot with the AVI loaded would help us figure out why AVIdemux is havingproblems with it.

Hi,

Followed your tutorial, tried to add borders in order to change the definition of an MKV file from 544p to 720p, and also shrink the fileusing the calculator, but nothing happened - ended up with the same resolution, and same file size.

Since i'm something of a noob, any idea why this happened?Any help would be much appreciated

Didn't you say you didn't use AviDemux? So who cares about your problem since it's off topic and you gave no information at all aboutwhy you chopped up the VOBs, what you used to chop up the VOBs, what you were trying to use to do the conversion, and what youwanted to convert it to.

If your problem is unrelated to AviDemux, then open another thread about it and stop polluting this one.

Thanks for the Howto this is just what I needed to get up and running with AviDemux on my Ubuntu 8.10 box.

With DeVeDe and AviDemux I am off to a flying start.

If I just want to take the contents of a DVD (lots of VOBS) and turn it in to one file as quickly as possible I have found that AviDemuxworks a treat:

I open the first large VOB and the rest are appended automatically, as per your guide, then I save to avi in a couple of minutes.

VIDEO: CopyAUDIO: CopyFORMAT: AVI

Can anyone confirm that this is the easiest way?It looks as if this can be done on the command line... which could be useful for automating things... any one got an idea of thecommand I would need for the above?

I am going to to look into this myself but hey why reinvent the wheel

Somethings a' foul... There is some seriously out of sync audio within the app... and a saved video file that's sans even a whiff ofsound.

I load up mpg and go a ways into the video and the audio is several seconds behind the video. And worse yet, if I save a clip, it has nosound.
