Download VirtualDub 1.6.18 & 1.7.2

Yesterday, new versions of VirtualDub were released in both the stable and experimental branches. For the first it is version number 1.6.18, the other has arrived at version number 1.7.2. This program is intended for recording and editing video, the so-called capture and processing. It doesn’t really have a good editor, but is more intended to be used in conjunction with programs such as Adobe Premiere. The release notes, which contain a full list of changes, are up this page Here’s an excerpt from the announcement of both releases:

Two new releases of VirtualDub today.

1.6.18 (stable) has a couple of fixes from the 1.7.x series backported to it, one being a fix for AVI compatibility issues when alignment is enabled (mostly capture mode), and another being a crash related to the Cancel button in the video filter list dialog.

1.7.2 (experimental) has a slew of fixes, and a couple of changes. One is that throttling is now supported, so you can force VirtualDub to use less than 100% of the CPU during processing. Another change is that this is the first version with an input driver plugin API. This allows new container formats to be added for import, much like video filters can be added with new .vdf files. The API is still very experimental at this point, but if anyone wants to experiment with it: [VirtualDub plugin SDK 0.5]. Please send any comments on the API. Again, this API is still experimental and is subject to breaking changes.[break]
