Version History of VirtualDub 1.5.0 [features added]
Can add a single job to the batch list with syntax:
/p[input_file],[output_file]
Filters are now loaded and unloaded on the fly to
circumvent TLS (thread local storage) selector limits.
Cropping bounds can now be dragged via the mouse.
Improved, friendlier crash diagnostics.
Basic audio filter support (no plugin support yet,
though). The pitch shifter sucks.
Increased accuracy of audio/video timing by switching
from microsecond to rational calculations.
Changed font on dialogs to enable ClearType on XP.
[features removed]
Deleted outdated 3x3 average filter -- it has been
superceded by \"blur.\"
[bug fixes]
New MPEG audio core (Priss) -- fixes decoding errors
in layer I and layer III audio and adds SSE polyphase
support.
Fixed motion JPEG decoding bugs when padding is
present before markers.
Fixed crash in SSE2 code when decoding MPEG-1 file
odd width in macroblocks.
Fixed crash in SSE2 resize routine when doing 4-tap
vertical resample with odd width.
Fixed swapped UVs in About dialog box. ^^;
Fixed sync errors in MPEG-1 playback when decoding
an audio stream which flips the copyright bit between
frames or switches layer III bitrates (VBR).
Fixed \"Frame not found\" errors in MPEG-1 decoder when
GOP is longer than 128 frames.
Rewrote resampler clip determination code again.
Hopefully this one will be Bug Free (tm).
Fixed spurious errors at end of operation when saving
WAV file.
Outputted configuration files and job scripts now
include the correct audio filename when a .wav file is
selected through a script.
Fixed AVI segmented output creating short files when
working from MPEG-1 source or when IVTC is active.
Image import filter wasn\'t caching frames.
Fixed a couple of Get*() script calls that were declared
incorrectly internally and didn\'t work (thanks to
Cyrius).
Blur filter now handles cropping properly.
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.
