    Suggested correction on the installation line (last code)
    sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install -y avidemux2.6

    not avideumux2.6, otherwise it won’t be installed.

      Hi !
      I also have this problem. Avidemux was working pertfectly still 13.04, but when I try to build a .avi with .ts files demultiplexed bu ProjectX (.mp2 and .mv2), avidemux 2.5.4 pn 13.10 just freezes (it does not display anything and does not crash, but it does do any work).
