Avidemux web page:
http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/

This was compiled in Puppy 4 and may not work in other Puppy versions.

It depends on faac & faad which you can find in this thread:
http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=26202

It also depends on SDL.

Avidemux cli version is here:

Avidemux gtk2 version is here:

They will also be in my Yahoo briefcase incase the above links aren't working.

what I get from this post is that you had to install
Avidemux gtk2 version is here:
http://myfreefilehosting.com/f/472b4666ca_2.3MB
and the sdl, Faad, Faac
these 3 things to get it running
but the Avidemux gtk2 version Link is now dead and the package will no longer work without it.

The links are now updated. I also have the link to my Yahoo Briefcase on alot of these threads where you can alternatively download the files. I put that there incase the other links are not working.

hmm the tls issue also affects later versions of wine.
I installed glibc 2.3.6 with tls support to puppy 2.12 to deal with this...has to be done non live but is stable once done.

Or there is an older version of avidemux ... one i used for a long time.
http://dotpups.de/dotpups/Multimedia/avidemux-2.1.2.pup
I did update to 2.3 with the binary from debian...still no tls requirement.

great, works in Muppy0084 Mini.

I sometimes record TV movies using http://onlinetvrecorder.com.
75 minutes are around 600 MB.

I loaded one, and selected 1000 pictures.
Saved as "copy": 5 MB
Saved as mp4: 3.8 MB

Now I must try, if my mobile mp4 player that I found in the supermarket for 25 Euro (Teac MP-233), can play these files... ok, will take three hours to load the battery... So take some sleep first.

upgrading glibc is critical.
It can break everything.
Do it ONLY, if you can backup your current installation before.

It might work, but it also might require more upgrades.
This could be difficult, and only achieved if you'd copy files manually (if your system refuses to start, using a LiveCD as rescuessystem).

Ok well if you want to try it here a pack of glibc 2.3.6 tls...using this rather than 2.4 should keep things compatible.

http://indogo.org/glibc_2.3.6_tls.tar.gz

Now the safe way to add this is to boot puppy pfix=ram.
Make a backup copy of your save file.
Mount the save file...xfilemount is very handy for this or mount -o loop....will do.
Copy the contents of the package above to '/'
Reboot and hopefully you should have tls support.You may find copies of the original glibc in /lib if the original version was different.they can be deleted for a future remaster but they will be ignored as is.

avidemux 2.4 has flv support which is very handy....can created/edit/convert flv files Smile

. As mention this update is needed for wine too.

so after MU's advice i tried to compile it. I want flv support too Smile

So, I got an error in the configure process, explained it on avidemux forum, and I'm told I need Gtk+ 2.10 or later.
(Puppy 2.16 has 2.8.17)
I'm still thinking "Windows",I know that there is no Configure Panel/"uninstall Gtk+"... I suppose it's no good to try to compile the new Gtk+ over the current one.

What i could do first is download the gtk+ pet package from 2.16, check what are the files and remove them on my system (full install), then ... compile? or take the Gtk+ pet of Puppy4 ?

gtk depends on glib, so you need to update that, too.
If you have luck, that works.
Long ago, I made a pup of Gtk 2.8 for systems with 2.4 like this.

If you have bad luck, you also need a new glibc.
Then you have the initial problem again.

You might boot from CD and create a savefile.
Then you could update that, first, with Glib/Gtk 2.10 packages from a newer Puppy (dotpets from ibiblio)
If that works, you could do the same with the full install.
