CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
Making simple crop edits to videos of all formats shouldn't be tricky business, but most tools out there either do way too much or are so belabored with ads that who knows what evil lurks within their code.
Open-source on the GNU license, Avidemux is a breath of fresh air. Cropping a video is as simple as selecting the section you want to remove and then hitting the Delete key. Re-encoding a video is equally painless: select the output format from the drop-down list, save the file, and you're good to go. When choosing where to start and stop a crop, there's both incremental and multisecond advance and rewind tools, There's also a not insubstantial list of video and audio codecs that files can be converted to. Video formats include multiple codecs for FLV, MPEG, AVI, VCD, H.263/4, and others, while audio formats include MP3, AAC, Ogg Vorbis, WAV, and one or two more.
The program also includes advanced options, including generic decoder and post-processing tools, user-defined filters, GlyphSet adjustments, and more features. Avidemux should appeal to users of all abilities who are looking for a quick way to edit down video files.

Version: Avidemux 2.4.1 R4297
"Extraordinary conversions with simple quick edits!"
Pros: I have performed numerous simple quick frame-by-frame edits (something I cannot do quickly in Final Cut nor frame-by-frame in Quicktime pro. I have no trouble converting avi to Quicktime (.mov & .mp4) --rare amoung converters (but get "lame" codec!)
Cons: Learning required smart trial and error -- use a very small file to do this as it is much less time consuming. Conversion process is not lightening fast -- about 4 minutes for a 20 minute vid -- but still very acceptable.
Summary: I would have paid $50 for this product. I have found nothing remotely as good.

"Limited conversion codec work good for Video--NO AUDIO"
Pros: Simple and work well in conversion
Cons: Whilst it work well with video, the converted output has got no audio. Bug fix is necessary to make it a complete software.
