Apparently avidemux is not supported in Ubuntu beyond Trusty (14.04) What would be a good replacement for it in later versions like 16.04 LTS or more recent?

I am actually looking for a program to convert raw digital video files to various formats: mp4, xvid, ogg, mp4 ... Preferably a (cli) program that I can use in a script.

Depending on what you were using Avidemux to do you might be able to get away with HandBrake for transcoding videos. There is also a command-line version of HandBrake named handbrake-cli. Otherwise install Kdendlive for working with raw video footage and other video editor functions. To install all three applications open the terminal and type:

sudo apt install handbrake-cli handbrake kdenlive
