Arriving five weeks after the release of Avidemux 2.6.15, which improved hardware decoding and encoding, but also added various usability fixes, Avidemux 2.6.16 is now that latest stable build of the video editor, which can now be built using Microsoft Visual C++ 2015. Among the improvements and bug fixes added, we can mention that Avidemux 2.6.16 supports version 3.0.5 of the FFmpeg multimedia framework, subtitling works again on macOS thanks to the initialization of FontConfig, compliance with most devices was enforced for the x265 encoder, and a VAAPI (Video Acceleration API) resizer is added.
