According to the release notes, AviDemux 2.6.9 is the first version of the acclaimed video editor software to support video streams encoded with the leading x265 (HEVC encoder / H.265 encoder). Additionally, the application now supports both Qt 4 and Qt 5 frameworks.
The new Avidemux version is now compatible with newer Video Acceleration APIs (VAAPI), includes updated FFMpeg libraries, introduces basic support for Nvidia NVENC hardware H.264 video encoder under the GNU/Linux platform, and improves the AvsProxy proxy between Avisynth and Avidemux.
