Avidemux, which is one of the fastest and best video editors/converters you will find these days (did I mention FREE?), has reached version 2.4. Although this release was published one day before Christmas, we thought that it was a good idea to mention it! Here are the main features of this release:

? MKV and FLV improvements; ? Mostly fixed decoding corruptions; ? Improved OsX versions, including PPC; ? A short changelog compared to 2.3; ? Input and output support for MKV and FLV containers; ? Rewritten MP4/MOV/3GP reader; ? Support for Nellymoser codec; ? New DV video output support; ? New MPEG-TS support including H.264 Elementary Stream; ? OCR support for MPEG-TS subtitles; ? New video bitstream unpacker (improved compatibility); ? Capability to pack video bitstreams; ? New Yadif filter (ported from Avisynth); ? Video filters can be loaded as external plug-ins (sample plug-in included); ? Three interfaces now offered: command line, GTK+ and Qt4 (Qt4 is still incomplete); ? Several key dialogs have been revamped (GTK+ user interface only); ? Preview system refactored; ? Priority control added for encoding and video playback (Win32 only); ? New Jog Shuttle control (GTK+ user interface only); ? Support for Jog Shuttle hardware (Linux & GTK+ only); ? New iPod and PlayStation Portable profiles; ? New Glyph Editor; ? Improved Bitrate Histogram; ? JACK support (Linux only); ? DirectX support (Win32 only); ? New Avisynth Proxy GUI (Win32 only); ? Improved crash recovery - session settings are saved and reloaded upon application start.

And of course that there were numerous bugs fixed in this version as well.

For those of you who don't know what AviDemux does, here are some of its main strengths:

? Can convert between many popular video formats. ? Removes commercials from a capture. ? Can change video formats (AVIDVDmpeg4). ? Can alter some features of a video to make it more "compatible". ? It has job queue and powerful scripting capabilities. .... and many many other more interesting features!
