      For uninstalling should be sudo apt remove avidemux2.6-qt && sudo apt autoremove

      avidemux2.6-plugin-qt should be considered as an additional package to install. You’ll be seeing a lot of “Cannot find a demuxer” without it.

      I failed to mention that I appreciate your work. Avidemux is not available through the Linux Mint 18.x repos. You make it possible for us to continue with it’s usage. Thank you.

      The getbed repository installs a lot more packages than avidemux
