There's no packaging of avidemux 2.4 on debian-multimedia?
Stable,testing,unstable,experimental are all pointing to 2.3.
Or did I make a mistake?

I'll package it then..

I have some problems converting some wmv to anything not beginning with an w. Anything better than avidemux for wmv->something?
I want no files on my box with extension beginning with w

edit:
There's this one but I thought maybe debian-multimedia would have an official one

I packaged it with the optional qt support. It ran rice but it does crash.

On the plus side when it did crash, it crash during the file selection, not in the middle of a conversion.

Which source version did you take?
Taking the source package mentionned above 2.4.svn4 (I don't have svn access, I'm at work..):
*
If I use the orig svn4, configure it like this:
It compiles. I'm checking it now. The first thing I did does not work: clicking on about doesn't do anything. The second thing I did is going into show built-in plugins and the internationalization is wrong (has changed with qt4, probably there is a mistake). The message is in UTF8 but is displayed in 8859-1.
*
If I use the debian+patch (dsc), modify the rules file to the above configure options, the package is created and installed (though the link /usr/bin/avidemux point to avidemux_gtk that I modified to point to avidemux_qt4)

I converted a few stuffs, didn't run into a crash. How do you do that exactly?

Anyway, I really prefer the qt4 version, it looks cleaner and more recent than the gtk one.

I used the svn.

I'll try the new snapshot but I prefer the qt as well. Took some getting use to but was worth it
