I've been trying to install an external filter to avidemux without much luck, including groping thru the avidemux wiki/docs and avisynth docs, and haven't been able to find some very basic information.
Before I forget, please don't recommend the avisynth wiki page because it doesn't address this question.
Questions:
- Are the filter files always DLLs?
- Are these windows DLLs, and do they work as filters in Linux?
- If the Linux filters are NOT .dll files, what are they (extention)?
- If anyone has added external filters to either windows or linux version, how did you do it and what kind of file was it?
I have two versions of avidemux:
- Linux version 2.5.2: w/option to tell it where the external filters are.
- Windows version 2.5.6 working fine under wine: NO option to tell where external filters are.
I downloaded the Hdragc-1.8.7.zip filter for a test. The zip files contains AGC.dll, a license.txt file and a hdragc-help.htm file which doesn't tell how to install the filter. The DL page also doesn't tell how to install it or whether it's for windows or linux or both.
But I gather that the file "AGC.dll" is the filter!
Here's what I've tried:
1- Linux: extract AGC.dll somewhere and tell Linux version where it is.
It doesn't show up.
2- Windows/wine: since I can't tell it where the filter is, I put AGC.dll in the ~/.wine/drive_c/Programs/Avidemux/plugins/videoFilter directory with other video filters (dlls)
It doesn't show up.
????
Thanks!
