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.

Bugs fixed:

• Capture: Fixed crash when starting capture from command line with filters and preview acceleration enabled.
• Capture: Fixed issues with custom DirectShow filters not reconnecting.
• Capture: Added workaround for audio source switching to "no audio" in UI due to DirectShow crossbar goofiness.
• Capture: Changing the audio source manually now asks to turn off auto- switching.
• Capture: Audio source now saves properly when set to "no audio."
• Fixed crash when previewing beyond end of selection with IVTC enabled.
• Added workaround for XviD decompression crashes.

Regressions fixed:

• Filters receive distinct source frame numbers for null frames again.
