Version History of VirtualDub 1.6.7 [features added]
Script: Added support for cast expressions to int/long/double.
Video direct-stream path now treats zero-byte (drop) frames as non-essential. A video stream that has been spaced with drop frames to a higher frame rate can now be cleanly converted down as well.
[bugs fixed]
Fixed crash when decoding audio from broken or mismatched DV frame.
Hierarchical AVI index blocks were being placed outside of RIFF chunks. No known actual incompatibility cases (yet).
Fixed occasional crash when using lowpass or highpass filters with a large tap count.
Fixed crash on attempting to abort a render when an error had already occurred.
Fixed \"cut off audio stream when video stream ends\" sometimes being active even after being disabled.
Fixed audio stream being shortened slightly when using audio compression.
Capture: Fixed crash in volume meter code triggered by load of DLLs that whack the floating-point control word.
Capture: Fixed crash on exit in DirectShow layer caused by shutting down COM too early.
[regressions fixed]
Script: Fixed \"method not found\" errors loading .vcfs caused by failure to convert longs to ints.
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.
An exciting history of VirtualDub startup can be found here.
