1.Foreword

    Remember that video filters are only taken into account when video process mode is set.

2.Process/Copy mode

Copy mode 

    In that mode, avidemux will just copy the input compressed stream to the file without touching it.

Process mode 

    Avidemux will first decompress the video to YV12 frames, then apply the filters if any. Then encode the video with the choosen video compressor.

3.Meta-Filters

A meta filter is a group or modification of other filters. Here are some of them :
  • VCD/SVCD/DVD res: These meta-filters automatically resize the video into the correct size to be compatible with VCD/DVD/SVCD. They internally use add black borders and resize.
  • Partial: This meta filter alters another filter so that it only applies on a part of the video. For example, you may want to deinterlace only a part of the video. To do so, create a deinterlace filter, select it and press the Partial button. Enter the start/end frame.
