Fugly & buggy — but still the easiest, lightest and yet versatile video editor with GUI.

Note that no program supports WMV because that is Microsoft proprietary. You can only use Windows Media Encoder with that.

Other than pointing that out, this program is great for editing the files that it is listed to support. If you can't read that list and don't understand, then perhaps you should move on to a different program. It is multi-platform as well. I use it on Windows 7 and Linux Mint without a problem.

Problems with Avidemux

Comment by egadgetguy

about Avidemux · Jun 2011 · Helpful Not helpful Report as spam

The problems I have with Avidemux are:

it doesn't support WMV or VC1
it won't import my DVD files. [I have a DVD-R that I recorded so it's not locked or anything.]
there's no real timeline editor thaT I can see which means that overlays and voiceovers are out...?
