VirtualDub is a video capture / processing utility for 32-bit Windows platforms, 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. It is mainly geared toward processing AVI files, although it can read MPEG-1 and also handle sets of BMP images.

Features:

  • Fractional frame rates. Don’t settle for 29 or 30 when you want 29.97.
  • Optimized disk access for more consistent hard disk usage.
  • Create AVI2 (OpenDML) files to break the AVI 2GB barrier and multiple files to break the FAT32 4GB limit.
  • Integrated volume meter and histogram for input level monitoring.
  • Real-time downsizing, noise reduction, and field swapping.
  • Verbose monitoring, including compression levels, CPU usage, and free disk space.
  • Access hidden video formats your capture card may support but not have a setting for, such as 352×480.
  • Keyboard and mouse shortcuts for faster operation. To capture, just hit F6.
  • Clean interface layout: caption, menu bar, info panel, status bar.
  • Reads and writes AVI2 (OpenDML) and multi-segment AVI clips.
  • Integrated MPEG-1 and Motion-JPEG decoders.
  • Remove and replace audio tracks without touching the video.
  • Extensive video filter set, including blur, sharpen, emboss, smooth, 3×3 convolution, flip, resize rotate, brightness/contrast, levels, deinterlace, and threshold.
  • Bilinear and bicubic resampling — no blocky resizes or rotates here.
  • Decompress and recompress both audio and video.
  • Remove segments of a video clip and save the rest, without recompressing.
  • Adjust frame rate, decimate frames, and 3:2 pulldown removal.
  • Preview the results, with live audio.
  • Open video file (Ctrl-O).
  • Save AVI (F7).

What´s New in version 1.9.10:
  • Fixed icon on status dialog.
  • Fixed crash in scene detector with UYVY/YUY2 input.
  • Fixed thread handle leak for unnamed threads.
  • Modified audio display waveform draw code to avoid broken lines when zoomed in.
  • UI: Fixed curve editor not reselecting the right curve after some video filter list manipulations.
  • Decoders: Fixed crash in Huffyuv decoder with invalid non-adaptive Huffman tables.
  • AVI: The palette change flag is now stripped when rewriting streams.
  • AVI: dwInitialFrames is now forced to zero in all cases for better compatibility.
