It can encode almost all the commonly used containers using most of the common encoding schemes. I have successfully extracted audio from saved youtube videos and saved them as mp3s. Of course you need codecs like lame, ffmpeg and their likes installed for all the features to be available. > Also, it displays a weird > message about the source video file using B frames.

It seems to be a problem with incomplete flash video files. I got the same crashes. I ended up using ffmpeg from the command line for those corrupted videos. An example ffmpeg re-encoding line would be something like this: $ ffmpeg -ss <seek-time> -vcodec <video-codec> -acodec <audio-codec> -i input.file -t <time> out.file This will seek to "seek-time" in your input file then use the codec "video-codec" to re-encode your video and "audio-codec" for the audio for the time duration "time" into the output file. I think you can choose "null" to discard one of the streams, or "copy" to copy it as is. `man ffmpeg' is you friend here. ;) You will have to fool around to find the best suited combination for you. > When one answers either yes or no (I tried both), > another message appears, stating that no audio decoder is found and that > saving the file will generate a bad avi, but that audio saving will work > (despite there not being an audio decoder!), but video will presumably not > work. At some point it crashes no matter what you do. As I mentioned above, to the best of my knowledge you need to install the codecs for avidemux to work properly. I am very new at this, so could be wrong on several points though. GL -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
