It supports many file types—including AVI, DVD-compatible MPEG files, MP4, and ASF—using a variety of codecs, and tasks can be automated with projects, a job queue, and powerful scripting. This container lets you use Avidemux's full graphical interface from any modern web browser or VNC client, with no client-side installation or configuration, and the image is built on Alpine Linux for efficient size and resource usage.

Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.
