avidemux version 2.6.12 amd64 and i386 on 14.04.4 LTS

[rmstock2]

On Ubuntu avidemux can be installed but you are stuck with an older
version : 2.5.4 which has limited capabilities. I created a set of
debian packages for both i386 and amd64 for version 2.6.12. Before
installing avidemux one first needs to install ffmpeg , see e.g.

ffmpeg version 2.5.8 on ubuntu 14.04

Download is at http://crashrecovery.org/avidemux/DEB/ubuntu1404/
or at ftp://ftp.crashrecovery.org/pub/linu...EB/ubuntu1404/

DTS audio encoding by selecting the audio stream in COPY modus finally
works with 2.6.12. Encoding DTS audio from an AAC, mp3 or PCM audio
source(s) should still be regarded as experimental :



Here's screenshot with a typical avidemux job of creating a small clip :

avidemux 2.6.12 together with the bare bones dts encoder dcenc
can create DTS audio from other input audio formats.
It can however not invent new audio channels. If your input
is stereo, you DTS audio will be stereo as well :

Thanks so much, and by the way, how does one create .DEB packages?
This interests me...?

General instructions for building a .deb package are here
http://www.avidemux.org/admWiki/doku...ld:install_2.6 .

The maintainer of avidemux has however embedded the creation of debian
binary packages inside the tar source itself : avidemux_2.6.12.tar.gz through
a mechanism called bootStrap.bash :

bash bootStrap.bash --deb --enable-qt5 --with-cli  > bootstraplog-amd64.txt 2>&1

After running the bootStrap.bash command successfully a subdirectory
debs is created with the binary .deb files inside. This implicates that
the creation of a debian source package with
avidemux_2.6.12.orig.tar.gz , avidemux_2.6.12-0ubuntu14.dsc and
avidemux_2.6.12-0ubuntu14.debian.tar.gz, to be submitted to ubuntu
upstream is not a straightforward task. Most certainly as
bootStrap.bash in particular thoroughly examines the installed version
of ffmpeg, by doing some tests and subsequently creates patches which
then are applied dynamicly to the avidemux_2.6.12 source tree. As an
illustration of this examine
