Highlight the file you wish to open and either double-click on it or press 'Open'. You will see a window appear that you can use to browse your computer to find the file you want. Ideally it will be a DV file exported from a video editing program or captured from a camera or an MPEG-2 file or VOB from a DVD.Ĭlick on 'File' and then on 'Open'.

There are numerous posts on the Avidemux forum about this issue and hopefully a future version will solve this problem. There are many reasons why you may need to create a MPEG4 file from an existing video file - to make a downloadable preview file for a longer movie that can be viewed in VLC player, for example.īefore we start however it is useful to note that MPEG4 files created by Avidemux won't play in a Quicktime ('QT') player (which makes them unsuitable for wide distribution as podcasts). This chapter will show you how to create an MPEG-4 file from an existing video file.
