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.
VirtualDub 1.6.12 has been posted to SourceForge. It took a long time primarily because I spent a lot of time reworking the timing logic in the capture module and going back and forth with some users who were willing to test internal builds with varying balances of breakage and functionality. Special props go to the users with handles Moitah and i4004 on the forums, who graciously spent a lot of time telling me that my resynchronizer sucked and that giving me hard data as to what was going on. Because the resynchronizer was quite heavily reworked, and because I sneaked in several features, both capture and non-capture, this build is marked as experimental.
One notable feature that I snuck into this build is that you can now capture from a DV capture device that uses the MSDV driver through DirectShow. Previously this didn't work because DV data comes in as type MEDIATYPE_Interleaved rather than separate MEDIATYPE_Video and MEDIATYPE_Audio streams; I don't own a DV camcorder, and the scenery around me is far too boring to warrant me getting one, so I didn't have a way to look at the filter graph and fix this. Well, as luck would have it, when I visited my older brother John over the holidays I was able to scam^H^H^Hborrow some time with his DV camcorder to develop against and add the code to insert the DV splitter into the graph. It isn't terribly tested (implementation and testing time approx. one hour), you can't shuttle the tape or control via timecode, and it only records type-2 DVs, but it's a little better than before, at least.
