Version History of VirtualDub 1.5.6 [features added]
Added support for YV12 during fast recompress.
Input video is now displayed during fast recompress
for UYVY and YUY2 modes.
Video display updates are now suppressed for panes
that are totally hidden.
[bugs fixed]
MP3 rate correction was correcting dwRate but not
interleaving, causing some problems for embedded
decoders. The interleaving rate is now adjusted
on the fly. Note that MP3 correction is still not
enabled when segmentation is active.
Time base for the position control was improperly
affected by the \"convert to fps\" option.
\"Box blur\" filter was broken on CPUs without MMX.
(Dumb compiler bugs....)
[regressions fixed]
Menu cleanup: removed synchronous blit and histogram,
fixed vertical layout and pane swap.
Fixed crash when loading some job configurations from
1.5.4 and below.
Fixed audio displacement not working in simple audio
pipeline with forward offset.
Adjusted Z-order of status bar relative to panes.
MPEG-1 decoding was broken on platforms with MMX
but without SSE2.
Plugin code could crash if no plugins were installed,
particularly under Windows NT 4.0.
Video codec code occasionally named the wrong codec
when reporting video format corruption during codec
arbitration.
Corrected DCT coefficient pruning in MJPEG decoder.
Fixed crash when WAV open fails.
Delete was producing invalid subsets in some cases.
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.
