After three years of development version 1.10.4 has become the latest stable release of the video capture and processing utility VirtualDub. The software is developed for recording and editing of video. VirtualDub isn't an extensive editor but is designed to work together with applications like Adobe Premiere.
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.
This latest version has has a number of bug fixes, some small additions to the external encoding and filter color support, and addresses a small compatibility issue with the Direct3D display path and Windows 8.1. Here is the full changelog.
