I just installed avidemux-qt along with all the extra packages that it listed but do not see x264 as an encoding option in the program. Anyone know how to get it working? The avidemux on my gentoo system has a TON of options for encodings but for some reason the one on arch doesn't have nearly as much.
Thanks for any help. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

The program probably has some optdepends. Do you have x264 installed?
Offline
yes I do. X264 is installed and seems to work fine with other programs such as vlc and handbrake. Unless one of the mpeg4 options is h264 I don't see it in avidemux.
By the way, how can I find out the optdepends of a package without reinstalling it?

pacman -Si <packagename>One of the fields is 'Optional Deps'.

Weird that it doesn't list anything. It certainly did after I installed it.

Try 'pacman -Si avidemux-cli'.

I guess it is the "mpeg-4 AVC" option. Avidemux will open h264 videos so it is finding the plugin. It used to actually have an encode option listed for "h264" but they must have changed it. I'll try encoding with the "mpeg-4 AVC" option and see if that works. Thanks for all your help and pointers.

Yes it's mpeg-4 AVC, I was about to post it :-)
I was sort of expecting some "obfuscation", after I had to search for the _name_ of the app - it's avidemux2_cli for the cli and avidemux2_qt4 for the qt version.
<sigh>
