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. 1.6.4 is out on SourceForge. It has some general cleanup of issues in 1.6.3, and more importantly, thanks to some persistant users has a couple of critical fixes for Windows 95/98/ME users -- a GDI handle leak fix, and a GDI region double-free fix. It also has a workaround for the capture problems on the SAA713x-based boards. There are still some issues; video timing becomes wonky when audio playback is enabled, and for some reason the tuner has a habit of randomly dropping out of the crossbar, but at least basic capture should work.
