avidemux movies don't play sound

[eppy 1]

Binary package hint: avidemux

I don't use avidemux, but I've seen several forum threads where people say movies created with Avidemux don't play sound.

"I have three avi clips that I want to combine. I don't want to do any other editing.

I tried Avidemux, but it didn't work. It seemed to combine them, but when I try to play the clip in Totem, it doesn't. There is no sound and if I push play, nothing happens. The original files were mov and I converted them to avi using Mencoder.

Kino won't load my files, and Cinelerra is too complex for what I want to do.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Even just a command line program is fine."

"I have recently captured a screencast with XVidCap, and wish to add another audio track to it. To do this, I have attempted to use Avidemux, which once cleanly added the track but did not save it with the sound."

Please provide some additional information:

- The video and audio codecs of the input files.
- The selected output video and audio codecs.

I had the same problem but it seems to be fixed now. I was using XviD+Vorbis and OGM container for output (input was VOB).

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

No idea if this is related, but avidemux on my system is unable to do what it needs to do to play sound:

5137 open("/dev/dsp", O_WRONLY|O_NONBLOCK|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 EBUSY (Device or re
source busy)
