Avidemux

After going from using Linux exclusively I have started to use Windows again and I wanted some software which was free and would do a few basic video editing and converting actions, such as joining files together than converting them to mpeg-4 avis. I first off tried “Any Video Converter”, which was ok, but fairly simple and I disliked it not being open source and having versions which cost money (what was I missing out on?).

After trying AVC I then remembered Avidemux a really great, free open source video conversion tool, you can get versions for windows and other OSs here on Avidemux download page.

Avidemux is a free video editor designed for simple cutting, filtering and encoding tasks. It supports many file types, including AVI, DVD compatible MPEG files, MP4 and ASF, using a variety of codecs. Tasks can be automated using projects, job queue and powerful scripting capabilities.

Avidemux is available for Linux, BSD, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows under the GNU GPL license.
