Added auto-recover option.
Enhanced test videos with explicit YCbCr channel tests with markers for 0-255 and 16-235 levels.

Command line: Added /capaudiorec and /capaudioplay switches.
Command line: Added /resetall.
Command line: Added /portable to initialize portable settings mode.
Filters: Ported all remaining x86-only filters to x64.
Filters: Many internal filters are now marked as pure transforms to allow pass-through of duplicated frames.
Filters: Added support for BT.709 and full range formats to many video filters.
Filters: Video filters can now read from multiple input streams.
Filters: Video filters can now request zero source frames in a prefetch operation.
Filters: Logo filter no longer fetches source frames if the logo obscures the whole frame.
Filters: 3D acceleration mode prevents the display from going into power-saving mode.
Filters: 3D acceleration mode now uses Direct3D9Ex on Windows Vista/7 to run even with the display locked.
Filters: Improved error reporting when a 3D accelerated video filter fails due to a display mode switch.
Filters: Improved color space search rules for BT.709 and full range formats.
Filters: AVX support is now detected and reported to filters.
Codecs: Added About and Configure buttons to audio codec dialog.
UI: Fixed goofy multiple dialogs when selecting Other... in Video Depth dialog through the keyboard.
PluginAPI: Input drivers can now indicate when they have no external options dialogs.

Bugs Fixed:
Position control mark-in/out icons are now comctl32 v6 compatible.
Fixed mouse cursor vanishing when left-clicking while right-dragging the position nub.
Fixed .wav input handler using the wrong RIFF tag for signature detection.
Initial padding setting was being ignored for raw video input.
ExtEnc: Fixed extra data being written to audio pipe at end of stream.
ExtEnc: Removed WAVE64 padding from WAVE stream written to pipe to improve compatibility with marginal WAVE parsers.
ExtEnc: Fixed case where program would hang if the external encoder aborted early.
BatchWizard: Re-save as AVI and Extract to WAV functions now force the .avi and .wav extensions on output filenames.
Capture: "Windows Mixer" menu option now launches the Recording tab of the Sound control panel in Windows Vista and Windows 7.
Capture: Fixed weird disable wonkiness with the Position and Screen Height labels in the screen capture settings dialog.
Capture: Added option to allow selection of video codecs that do not support the current output format.
Capture: Fixed some frame skipping problems when conversions occured between filters with the filter chain enabled.
Capture: Fixed crashes when toggling black/white point extension with other capture filters active.
Capture: Volume meter and large timer settings are now saved.
Capture: Large timer is now erased at the end of capture.
Capture: Fix for a race condition related crash when changing capture size with preview acceleration enabled.
Command line: /capdevice no longer reselects a capture device if it is already the default.
Command line: Improved error reporting for /cmd switch.
Filters: Fixed bug in allocator merging code that was causing excessive memory usage when disparate frame sizes were used in the same filter chain.
Filters: Fixed some crashes in resize filter resulting from 0 size frames.
Filters: Fixed crash when sampling in the configuration dialog of a filter instance that has a blend curve attached.
Filters: Fixed box blur filter with MMX disabled.
Filters: The "save as default" button in the Resize filter was saving the settings from when the dialog was opened instead of the current settings.
Filters: Added additional protection against crashing out with abnormally large frames (>1M pixels on one side or >128MB pixels total).
Defaults: Default preview display depth is now 24-bit.
Defaults: DirectX hardware video overlays are now disabled by default to avoid color space issues and driver bugs.
Render: Added option to inhibit system sleep during renders (on by default).
Render: Added option for background I/O priority (Vista and up only).
Render: Fixed crashes in high quality audio sample rate conversion with very low or high rate values.
Audio: Added workaround for audio codecs that respond to decompression requests in acmFormatSuggest() but reject them in acmStreamOpen().
Audio: Compression dialog now reflects mono-left and mono-right conversion settings.
Video: Fixed crash with some codecs when bringing up video codec list (64-bit version only).
Display: Additional mode switch recovery fixes for Direct3D display mode.
Display: DirectDraw mode now works on Windows 8 developer preview.

Why is support for Virtualdub so weak on this website? I joined this site to get help with command line encoders for use with the external encoder feature of Virtualdub but hardly anyone here even uses Virtualdub or knows anything about the newer versions. If anyone here is using Virtualdub at all it seems like they're using modded versions that haven't been updated for years.

I was able to get CUDA encoding working using Selur's cuda.exe encoder from his Hybrid program. The quality isn't real good but it does show the possibilities of using the external encoder if all the great minds would put their heads together. IMO, the only encoder set that you really need in this day and age is x264/ac3 in an mkv container but there are plenty of different file types that people are still using and the more encoder sets that could be discovered, the better.

Budman1 from Videohelp has FLV encoding working using ffmpeg as the external encoder and DragonZord on Virtualdub is close to having WMV encoding working with the WMEnc.exe and cscript but needs some help.

Well, for starters, this isn't the Virtualdub website.

Perhaps your first post would have been better used asking for said help, rather than bemoaning the lack of pre-existing topics. There is probably someone out there with all the answers you need, but if you don't ask, they're not going to know to answer.

Budman1 from Videohelp has FLV encoding working using ffmpeg as the external encoderYour post, and Budman's work, has helped me a lot in my quest to use ffmpeg with VirtualDub - thank you. Making variations from Budman's example is relatively simple. I have posted more ffmpeg examples here (http://forums.virtualdub.org/index.php?act=ST&f=3&t=18840&st=120&#entry93547), and an x264+neroaac+mp4box example here (https://frapsforum.com/threads/virtualdub-save-direct-to-mp4-fraps-to-youtube-with-external-encoders.2446/).
