If I click on the calculator icon in the qt4-gui nothing happens. Log output shows "[searchToolBar]  Toolbar:Cannot handle actionCalculator".

Reproducible: Always




I installed avidemux with following use-flags:

media-libs/avidemux-core-2.6.4:2.6  USE="nls sdl xv -debug (-system-ffmpeg) -vdpau" LINGUAS="de -ca -cs -el -es -fr -it -ja -pt_BR -ru -sr -sr@latin -tr"
media-video/avidemux-2.6.4:2.6  USE="nls opengl qt4 xv -debug -sdl -vdpau" LINGUAS="de -ca -cs -el -es -fr -it -ja -pt_BR -ru -sr -sr@latin -tr"
media-libs/avidemux-plugins-2.6.4:2.6  USE="a52 aften alsa dts faac faad libsamplerate mmx opengl qt4 truetype vorbis vpx x264 xvid -amr -debug -fontconfig -fribidi -jack -lame -oss -twolame" LINGUAS="de -ca -cs -el -es -fr -it -ja -pt_BR -ru -sr -sr@latin -tr"

The calculator is no longer available since 2.6 uses time based editing instead of frame based editing. That the button is still there can be considered a bug though, but that's something you'll have to report upstream.

I don't consider this worth a revision bump so I'll try to patch it away with the next version bump, if the upstream developers haven't done it themselves by then.

Ah, I didn't know that. What a pity! So how to calculate bitrate/filesize for 2-pass encoding? I would like to use this feature so bluray-encodes do net get too big... 2.5.6 did that very reliably (but has probs with some h264/vc1 files). Or how to estimate fileseze for a 1-pass encoding?

I have no other idea than guessing a good rate, try asking on their forum.
