I have still to update the version descriptions to make it look nice and clear. Update: Since development was stopped in 2015 we decided to continue this app with the VirtualDub2 builds. Phaeron stopped development, but he promises to keep it working on future versions of Windows. It will have a few quirks with HD files though. When a few plugins/codecs are installed, it is able to open almost any file and write AVI using almost any modern codec. Today VirtualDub still is a great tool and it's one of the most robust video editors out there. So he created very stable code around potentially dangerous software to catch any misbehaviour. But Video editing heavily depends on 3rd-party software, mostly codecs and filters. This download is distributed as a ZIP archive (VirtualDub-1.10.4.zip and VirtualDub-1.10.4-AMD64.zip) and requires decompression with a competent program. When Phaeron developed VirtualDub, Windows video software was unstable crap (well, it still is). does not modify or wrap any file with download managers, custom installers or third party adware. This causes a single drawback of Virtualdub: it is using very old APIs and formats, i.e. This means it's roots are in the beginning of video processing on PCs when videos usually had the size of stamps.

VirtualDub is mainly geared toward processing AVI files, although it can read (not write) MPEG-1 and also handle sets of BMP images.VirtualDub started as a software for recording video from analogue sources. It has batch-processing capabilities for processing large numbers of files and can be extended with third-party video filters. It lacks the editing power of a general-purpose editor such as Adobe Premiere, but is streamlined for fast linear operations over video. VirtualDub is a video capture/processing utility for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows platforms (98/ME/NT4/2000/XP/Vista/7), licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL).

VirtualDub è principalmente orientato verso la trasformazione di file AVI, anche se è in grado di leggere (non scrivere), MPEG-1 e gestire set di immagini BMP. Permette l'elaborazione di un gran numero di formati e può essere esteso con filtri di terze parti. Benchè non offra le caratteristiche di programmi professionali come Adobe Premiere, è concepito per realizzare in modo lineare e veloce operazioni di editing video. VirtualDub è un programma per l'acquisizione e l'elaborazione di contenuti video e la conversione nei più comuni formati su piattaforma Windows (98/ME/NT4/2000/XP/Vista/7), rilasciato sotto la GNU General Public License (GPL).
