My biz partner also sends me vids for our website that I need to reencode, and I can't find any other program that does easily what avidemux does. The original mkv video made with guvcview works fine, it's just 10x bigger than I need it to be.Ĭan anyone shed any insight on this? I tried installing avidemux2.6, but it won't install using various methods including the package manager, saying there are dependencies that won't install, etc. I've tried using various framerates in avidemux and different encoders in guvcview, but when I open the vid in avidemux, it still looks like a charlie chaplin film.

As for the video speed issue, I have absolutely no clue why it's suddenly doing this. I've selected both alsa and pulseaudio as the audio device in avidemux (my system uses pulse), and neither one works. Avidemux is a free and open-source software application for non-linear video editing and transcoding multimedia files. This is a very basic guide to get you started with avidemux. 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. Not sure exactly when it started, but now when I load videos in avidemex, it shows an error, 'trouble initializing audio device,' and the videos play at an increased speed. avidemux is a very good free converter and basic editor (cut, join, filters). I'd open the vid in avidemux to trim or whatever I needed to do, and then reencode it to an mpg or avi.

I have a logitech C310 webcam that I used to just plug in and use with guvcview without any problems.
