VirtualDub 1.8.6 is released and is a stable release with bug fixes for some user reported issues. Some of the most notable bug fixes are errors handling audio in NTSC DV type-1 files, several crashes, and a few glitches in batch mode (job control).

VirtualDub is a video capture and processing application for Microsoft Windows written by Avery Lee. VirtualDub is a free software, given that the software is released under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) and hosted on SourceForge.net. VirtualDub is commonly used for audio/video capture, filtering and recompression. All the operations goes to an AVI files, requiring that appropriate video and audio codecs are installed.

The Changelog for Build 30009 (1.8.6, stable): [September 21, 2008]

[bugs fixed]

• Wheel scrolling in the Set Text Information dialog closes the edit control.
• Save Segmented AVI now works with VBR audio.
• Animated GIF export now fails with an error if the current output format is compressed or otherwise not supported.
• JobControl: Fixed crash when one machine attempts to run a job in distributed mode right when another machine deletes it.
• JobControl: The filter crop mode saved in jobs was opposite from selected. (This only affected YCbCr cropping.)
• Capture: Fixed crash when capture driver sends audio samples when DirectShow graph is not running.
• D3D: Fixed sporadic crash on lost device.
• D3D: Fixed Direct3D errors when display debug information is enabled and a video filter fails to initialize.
• Frameserver: Frame rate adjustments weren’t always propagated correctly.

[regressions fixed]

• Fixed crash when using fast/normal recompress mode without a video codec.
• Fixed divide by zero crash when loading video and a video filter in the list is unable to initialize.
• Changing the “source rate adjustment” option no longer invalidates the current selection.
• Rendering would loop endlessly if an error occurred during video compression and threaded compression was disabled.
• Disabling the “directly decode YCbCr formats” option works again.
• Filters: lMicrosecsPerFrame and lMicrosecsPerSrcFrame were reporting milliseconds (broken since 1.8.0).
• JobControl: Fixed case where a non-distributed “load job list” command can fail due to erroneously running distributed-mode code.
• JobControl: Fixed problem where dialog would suddenly close when editing job names.
• Script: Fixed crash when removing video filter from filter chain.
• DV: Audio decoding works again with NTSC DV files (broken since 1.8.4).
