avidemux2: Segfault when Opening Video

I'm getting an error when I try to open a video in avidemux2.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open up avidemux2_gtk,

2. Try to open up a video file (mp4),

3. Crash with a "Segfault" error.

Both avidemux2_gtk and avidemux2_qt report an error at this point, (although the errors are slightly different). Here's the error that the avidemux2_gtk GUI shows:

Segfault
 at line 0, file ??ADM_backTrack

MP4Header::indexify(MP4Track*, unsigned int, MPsampleinfo*, unsigned int, unsigned int*)
MP4Header::parseStbl(void*, unsigned int, unsigned int, unsigned int, unsigned int)
MP4Header::parseMdia(void*, unsigned int*, unsigned int, unsigned int)
MP4Header::parseTrack(void*)
MP4Header::lookupMainAtoms(void*)
MP4Header::open(char const*)
ADM_Composer::addFile(char const*, unsigned char, fileType)
A_openAvi(char const*)
FileSel_ReadWrite(void (*)(char const*), int, char const*, char const*)
avidemux2_gtk() [0x53788a]
HandleAction(Action)

g_signal_emit_valist
g_signal_emit_by_name

g_signal_emit_valist
g_signal_emit

And this is the error that the Terminal shows:

I know nothing about C, so this is gibberish to me. Before this, it also says:

Saving crash file to /home/$USER/.avidemux/crash.js

But that file is never created.

I'm guessing I'm missing a package dependency. Here's all the packages I have installed with the search term "video":

Hi,

Try avidemux packages from AUR https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/?O=0&K=avidemux

avidemux from official repositories is outdated for a long time now.

Off topic, but this statement is incorrect. 2.5.6 is the latest stable release. 2.6 is currently experimental: http://avidemux.org/admWiki/doku.php?id=versions:main

I would say that the notion experimental is not true anymore. At least 2.6 is as stable as 2.5 which crashes obviously and there are no fixes to be expeted for 2.5

Sometimes the distribution has to consider which branch is the stable (best) one and In this case  (avidemux + archlinux) I would say 2.6.
