Download Virtualdub 1.8.1 build 29808

On Sunday a new stable version of Virtualdub was released with version number 1.8.1 build 29808. This program is for recording and editing video. It doesn’t really have a proper editor, but is more intended to be used in conjunction with programs such as Adobe Premiere. The main change in this release to distribute tasks. Not only is it possible to start Virtualdub several times on the same machine, it is also possible to use multiple machines and create your own render farm to create.
