I looked at the Windows event logs and found a bunch of info, which I pasted below. It's not very helpful to me. Do you see anything that tells you what's going on?
Maybe the scripts I can run successfully in VirtualDub only load the necessary codecs, which is why they don't crash. Does that sound like a possible explanation to you? I was wondering if VirtualDub could not find any codecs to list in the Compression dialog. Where would it pull that list from?
There's no installation process per se for VirtualDub that I know of. I just unzipped the files into a folder and run it from there. Is that how it works or did I miss something important?
Here's the event log info:
