 If you started avidemux from within your desktop environment you might want
 to check ~/.xsession-errors
 I've seen this file grow very large in the past.

Yeah, I saw that. It was about 36G, and I removed it. Still the harddisk 
remained full. What I did not take into account was that that file was still 
open. So it didn't get erased from the harddrive. Logging out and in again 
solved the problem.

Stupid me!

On the other hand, this kind of behaviour makes avidemux unusable.
