Version History of VirtualDub 1.5.8 [features added]
DirectDraw support is disabled when Terminal Services
or Remote Desktop clients are detected to work around
a DirectX clipping bug.
Re-enabled places bar on open and save dialogs.
Disabled FPU state warning and made the fixup silent.
WAY too many drivers are screwing up the FPU unit.
Edit lists can now be omitted from configuration
files without needing to close the source file.
[bugs fixed]
Main window is disabled during MPEG-1 scan to prevent
crash if main window is closed.

correct for B-frames in an MPEG-1 file.
Fixed decoding of MPEG-1 B-frames at the start of
GOPs with broken_link set.
Palette change blocks no longer appear as garbage
video streams. In-stream palette changes are still
not supported, however.
biSizeImage was incorrect when using fast recompress
in YV12 mode.
Sequence appends failing on the first file now throw
an error rather than a warning.
[regressions fixed]
A race condition in the fast write code occasionally
resulted in spurious write errors.
Fixed swapped 00db/00dc tags in AVI output.
Fixed display of 8-bit paletted video.
Program starts under Windows 95 again.
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.
