Longtime user of VirtulDub 1 and 2, I regret the changes made after version v2.5.1.1095.
Now I can't open anymore my .AVI encoded in MJPG videos aswell as my .MP4 videos without parsing them with Avisynth.
For me version v2.5.1.1095 is the last useable version.
Let's hope this will be fixed very soon.

This version doesn't seem to be able to open either .MKV or .MP4 files, whereas the previous versions worked fine! (I'm assuming it's one of the codecs that has been disabled due to alleged crashing . . . ? Doesn't help me, though.) Guess which version I WON'T be using going forward!

I was glad to see the 64-bit version includes more built-in video codecs than an earlier version.

Cannot confirm Luc77600's statement. I have checked each relevant file individually with VirusTotal and all files are clean, i.e. virus-free.
