Avidemux is a free video editor designed to do cutting, editing and encoding of various files. Recently I wanted to convert some vides files to a resolution of 640×240, reduce the framerate to 24 fps, and compress the files to a format that is playable by a 200MHz ARM processor. With Avidemux I was able to do all that once I played a little with it.

It has a lot of features but not so intuitive interface. It supports many file formats including AVI, DVD compatible MPEG files, MP4 and ASF, using a variety of codecs. It runs on Windows, Linux, BSD, Mac OS-X.

It supports a variety of input formats such as AVI, MPEG, ASF, images, OGM, QuickTime, Mp4, 3GP etc. and it able to get the output in these formats. You can crop, resize, add borders, darken borders, rotate, change fps, add noise and do lots of the other stuff without much hassle.

You can even add subtitles, select font of the text, color of the text, set its position.
