Download VirtualDub 1.5.9 stable

Yesterday, VirtualDub’s 1.5 branch was declared a stable release. VirtualDub can encode and encode movies to the desired format. It is also possible to convert the sound to another format. This stable version can be downloaded from different mirrors be drawn and features the following changes from 1.5.8:

The major fix in this version-of-the-week is for a dumb oops in a fast display copy routine, but one fix that isn’t mentioned in the release notes is that I fixed a lot of compile errors that only occur under Visual Studio .NET 2003. VirtualDub’s main compiler is still Visual C++ 6.0 SP5+PP, and not .NET 2003, because I refuse to put up with the slow, half-broken IDE of the latter.

Current build (1.5.9, stable):

[features added]
• Made ‘autodetect additional segments by filename’ option sticky.
• Removed trackbar ticks when ticks are a solid bar to speed up edits on very long timelines.
• Added option to disable use of DirectX in video displays under Preferences/Display.

[bugs fixed]

• Fixed odd lock-to-keyframe behavior with edit lists that have out of order segments.
• Fixed move-to-next-keyframe command at end of timeline.
• Fixed decompression of 1-bit and 4-bit uncompressed AVI files under Windows 95/98.
• Audio compression dialog showed the wrong set of valid formats if a precision was selected under Audio Conversion.
• The current edit list is no longer applied to batch jobs created from entire directories.

[regressions fixed]

• Fixed display crashes with odd-width images.
• Segment loading wasn’t hopping across drives to pick up segments from a multisegment capture, as directed by the AVI’s segment hint block.
