Version History of VirtualDub 1.5.4 [features added]
Added workaround for infinite B-frame delay
interaction with DivX 5.0.5 Pro.
File information for AVI files now shows estimated
bitrate.
[bugs fixed]
Fixed race condition in processing pipeline shutdown
that was more likely to occur in Windows 95/98.
Key frame markers were getting written on some drop
frames when upsampling the video stream.
MPEG code was issuing warnings whenever decode time-
stamps were more than 0.62s apart; this has been
fixed to use the actual spec limit of 0.7s.
Operation couldn\'t be aborted while B-frame lag
frames were being flushed at the end.
Fixed a bad error message that displayed a bogus
filename.
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.
