VirtualDub is in staat om in Windows films te capturen, te coderen en te encoderen naar de gewenste indeling. Daarbij is het ook mogelijk het geluid naar een ander formaat om te zetten. De nieuwste versie van het opensource prorgamma is voorzien van rugnummer 1.7.7 en kan vanaf deze pagina gedownload worden. Hieronder kan gelezen worden welke veranderingen doorgevoerd zijn in VirtualDub 1.7.7 stable:
[bugs fixed][regressions fixed]
- Improved accuracy of "set so audio and video durations match" for short clips.
- Fixed vertical chroma positioning errors when converting to 4:2:0 or 4:1:0 YCbCr.
- PluginSDK: Direct stream copy from a plugin audio stream caused dwStreamSize in the AVI to be set incorrectly.
- PluginSDK: Fixed crash when using plugin to load a file with an audio stream that isn't AVI compatible.
- Capture: When "wait for OK" was enabled with a DirectShow driver, time spent in the dialog was counted against a time stop condition.
- Capture: Fixed crash when an error occurs while starting capture with a custom hotkey.
[break]
- "Save segmented AVI" no longer crashes when only video is enabled.
- Prohibit zero for frame rate adjustment.
- Filters: The error return from runProc is ignored again for compatibility with earlier versions of VirtualDub; this fixes some video filters that broke in the 1.7.x series.
- D3D: Fixed a display change related crash.
