Vdub faster?

[REIGN_]

Can Virtual Dub become faster? The average Mhz for my country's pc's is about 600. I have a PIII 702mhz. Can't it be faster?

What do you mean with Virtualdub faster? Depends on what and how you use it I guess...

I only use it for encoding videos and dvd's. I belive that it can be faster in the view that it can load less the memory and process data faster.

A quote from that page:

VirtualDub is fast.


The author of VirtualDub is very impatient. That means his program is designed for speed, both in the interface and in the processing pipeline. Converting a compressed, 320x240 MPEG-1 file to an uncompressed, 24-bit AVI requires only these two steps in VirtualDub:


Open video file (Ctrl-O).
Save AVI (F7).
How fast is this operation? On a C450, 40 frames per second (1.3x real-time speed). With a little tweaking, the speed rises to 55 fps (1.8x), with the CPU hardly breaking a sweat at 40%.

VirtualDub is cheap.


To be exact, it costs nothing. VirtualDub is licensed under the GNU General Public License, meaning you can use it for free. No risk involved, and the whole source code is available if you want it.
