Version History of VirtualDub 1.6.11 [features added]
Added support for using D3D .fx files for hardware-assisted display. This requires d3dx_25.dll (DirectX 9.0c April 2005) to work.
Added keyboard shortcuts for scene forward/backward.
[bugs fixed]
The current frame could not be copied after a \"scan for errors\" command.
Fixed crash in DV type-1 audio resampling code at end of stream.
Fixed audio read errors on DV type-1 files with drop frames.
Fixed a couple of crash bugs related to using positive audio displacements.
Fixed a rare filter crash triggered by a previously failing filter suddenly becoming able to start while the filter list is being edited.
Fixed bad write length in .wav writer.
If precision was set to \"no change\" but channel conversion was enabled, the audio was converted to 8-bit.
Error descriptions for failed jobs were often truncated after exiting and restarting the app.
JPEG decoder sometimes reported false parsing errors due to not parsing over comment blocks.
Filter load and AVI append functions could report \"operation completed successfully\" rather than the proper error.
AVI File Information reported an incorrect preload value for AVIs that started with a video chunk.
Capture: Stop conditions were being saved even if Accept was pressed.
Capture: Emulation test driver crashed on activation if the last used video file couldn\'t be found.
(AMD64 only) Disassembler was not decoding base registers properly.
(AMD64 only) Cropping was incorrect or outright broken with some video filters.
[regressions fixed]
\"Split\" audio filter was broken.
Frameserver exposed too much audio when range to be served was set through range selection, rather than the tail being deleted.
About:
VirtualDub is a video capture/processing utility for 32-bit Windows platforms (95/98/ME/NT4/2000/XP), licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). It lacks the editing power of a general-purpose editor such as Adobe Premiere, but is streamlined for fast linear operations over video. It has batch-processing capabilities for processing large numbers of files and can be extended with third-party video filters. VirtualDub is mainly geared toward processing AVI files, although it can read (not write) MPEG-1 and also handle sets of BMP images.
