VirtualDub
Proof that I had too much free time in college.
VirtualDub is a video capture and processing utility for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows platforms, designed for fast linear operations on video rather than general-purpose editing. It solves the problem of quickly capturing, trimming, and cleaning up video clips before exporting them to tape or processing with another program, particularly for users who find typical video editing software overly complex for simple tasks.
The software supports batch processing of large numbers of files and can be extended with third-party video filters. It mainly processes AVI files, including AVI2 (OpenDML) and multi-segment clips, and can read MPEG-1 files and sets of BMP images. Key capabilities include fractional frame rates, optimized disk access, integrated volume meter and histogram, real-time downsizing and noise reduction, and a comprehensive video filter set with blur, sharpen, deinterlace, and resampling options. It also offers audio track replacement, frame rate adjustment, and a filter SDK for custom filters.
VirtualDub is aimed at users who need a lightweight, fast tool for video capture and preprocessing on older Windows systems. It is licensed under the GNU General Public License and is available at no cost, with the full source code provided.
