Avidemux is one of the most popular tools for processing and compressing video files next to VirtualDuba. Originally, the program was only available for Linux, but its fast-growing popularity meant that it was decided to make versions for Windows and Mac OS available as well. It supports AVI, MPEG, MP4, and ASF files, often used to convert movies to formats compatible with most desktop DVD players.

In addition, it offers a quite large number of functions and effects, which can be extended to include external components. With the help of Avidemux, apart from the conversion itself, we can also perform simple operations on frames (pasting, cutting, swapping) and apply filters to them. Among the latter there are positions that allow you to trim the image, change its resolution, rotate by a given angle, overlay subtitles, sharpen the image and much, much more.

One of the interesting options is the built-in calculator, thanks to which we can determine what parameters should be declared, so that the file after conversion fits into a CD, DVD, etc. Users who process large amounts of files will be pleased that Avidemux has a project mechanism and supports scripts that allow such a process to automate. Avidemux, despite its enormous capabilities, has a very user-friendly and easy to use interface, which should not cause problems even for novice users.
