Version History of VirtualDub 1.4.11 [features added]
Added support for reading and writing TARGA (.tga)
sequences, with optional RLE compression.
Added simple logo filter.
Added (not-quite-optimized) HSV filter.
The \"Save Image Sequence\" command is now batchable
and scriptable.
[bug fixes]
Fixed OpenDML files having bad duration values in
their index if video frames weren\'t all the same
size.
Fixed some subset-related position slider glitches.
RLE AVI files weren\'t being decompressed correctly
(GDI\'s RLE isn\'t the same as AVI\'s RLE).
Fixed crash disassembler not disassembling some
instructions properly.
Fixed glitches in the first three frames of the
temporal smoother\'s output.
Fix for some MPEG rounding errors (arrgh).
AVI parser now accepts and reindexes LIST/movi chunks
with 0 sizes.
AVI parser no longer drops stream 0 samples at the
start of a file when reindexing.
AVI video reader detects and flips inverted RGB DIBs.
Fixed 1/16th darkened line on left side of \"blur more\"
filter.
Added support for properly cloned filter data
structures.
Allowed position control font to enlarge slightly
according to screen dpi and fixed font leak.
Fixed MIME BASE64 encoding errors at end of codec
configuration blocks that probably caused some codec
crashes or configuration funniness.
Calls to video codecs now eat MMX errors rather than
reporting them, to workaround a bug in the MSMPEG4V3
codec that will probably never be fixed.
WAV writer now writes out the required \'fact\' chunk
for compressed WAVs.
Filter preview dialog now sanely reports errors in a
non-ugly font.
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.
