I just needed to edit an avi video from my webcam without changing the format. VirtualDub did the job without a hitch on the first try.
I tried avidemux, also free, but it just mangled my video and never outputted a usable avi file.
VirtualDub worked perfectly.

I find this app. absolutely amazing. Considering the price of FREE, and the actual functionality/usefulness, this app. is priceless.
I am an amateur and needed an app. to splice an .AVI move i have into chapters.
But the .AVI was encoded with VBR MP3, which caused thumbnail problems and syncing issues.

With this app. i was able to extract the audio as .WAV, then non-destructively (without encoding), swap out the MP3 and replace with the .WAV.
Simply easy to use and EXTREMELY fast because of no encoding.

Another app. i highly recommend for editing .AVI files is AviDemux... that is comparable with this app. in terms of usefulness.

Oh yea.. there are useful tutorials posted on here if you're a noob like me ..

Def. rec!

My need for VirtualDub is simple -- a large window to monitor signals sent into my Belkin VideoBus USB interface, to see what's being played on my VCR as I transfer VHS to a standalone DVD Recorder. I was using Altarsoft Video Capture -- very nice, simple & functional freeware, but the preview window is tiny... and forget about Windows Movie Maker, which only gave me error messages that the video device wasn't available. It just took me a few minutes to figure out I had to go File, Capture AVI (even though I had no intention of recording the signals), select the VideoBus from the Device dropdown, deselect Show Information Panel from the Capture dropdown, and Stretch To Window from the Video dropdown, and voila!

I just got this for the watermark & it worked GREAT!! Seems a little complex. Could use help on what functions it has. Just what can use this for?

Video quality of output is EXCELLENT!

It seems the free products are always the best (well, not always, but this one is.)

Isn't that the 'File' > 'Save processing Settings' feature?

Great program that I've used for years. Excellent support for codecs and filters. The new DV capture doesn't work well for me though--serious audio sync issues. So I'll still use WinDV for capture. Perhaps the best thing about this program is that it is still being actively developed, and multithreading is being experimentally implemented now.

VirtualDub doesn't work correct with DivX v6.1 when cropping internal (not filter) with DivX6 encoder. If you set crop value 32 for left and 32 for right side, VirtualDub crashes (same when using VirtualDubMod). That doesnt happen with DivX v5.21.
For test purposes, I've set those values (crop 32 on left & 32 on right side) manualy into registry:
.../DivXNetworks/DivX4Windows/State
In this case VirtualDub(Mod) doesn't find DivX codec at all.
If other values are applied (16 for example), everything works fine.

The author of VirtualDub has put a lot of effort into improving its performance and I find that the tool gets better and better with each release.
I could'nt be without it,easily a 10.

Latest upgrade is a major one. It gives you a much larger choice than before regarding colorspaces for input and output.
It is much faster now as a result.
Best free software on the net!!
Anyone who gives less than 10 for ease of use-functionality-value for money-overall score is a fink!!
No insult intended to anyone.:)

Being a newbie to digital video editing I tried a variety of free and trial programs. VirtualDub is a must have tool and worth the minor effort (getting codec's) of setting it up. All I initially wanted to do was join some AVI clips successfully. After converting to the proper type AVI with another utility I finished my project. I am pleased with the results. I am amazed of what VirtualDub can do. Finding a good source of information to learn how to use the many features is my next step. You're pretty much on your own when starting out but there is a lot of help available.

Virtualdub(by Avery Lee) is on of the best capture programs available basically because it always keeps the audio and video syncronized,unlike many expensive capture utilities bundled with capture cards.It is also entirely free.
You can also choose from a wide variety of filters such as deinterlacers,resize and inverse telecine.
If you find that Virtualdub drops frames during capture,this is most probably down to the program making sure that the outputted video file is completely in sync.
Try it you wont be disappionted!
