I got 2.0.4 from one of the repos; I have not figured out how to tell
afterwards, which repo I got an rpm from. yumex tells you before
install, but does not supply this info once installed. So I can't easily
go to the repo manager and ask for the current version....
I see that avidemux just puts out a file, then you have to use other
tools to actually write the disk. I rather make CD not DVD format, and
their wiki only talks about DVD output format, so I still have some
research to do.
