truncated MPEG-1 streams.

Download: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/virtualdub/VirtualDub-1.6.8.zip?download

Changelog:

Build 23567 (1.6.8, stable): [July 3, 2005]
[bugs fixed]
* Fixed occasional crash if display panes are refreshed while editing the
filter list.
* Fixed hang if VirtualDub is the active application and attempts to refresh
the display panes when a display mode switch occurs.
* Display panes did not always update properly when seeking if Direct3D mode
was enabled and updating the frame took a lot of CPU time.
* Direct3D display mode could be activated if checked even if the option was
grayed due to DirectX support being disabled.
* Capture: Fixed crash if capture is attempted with audio enabled but audio
isn't present or is in an incompatible format.
* Reversed direction of mouse wheel action to be consistent with Windows.
* Hex editor's Extract Segment command would sometimes extract the wrong
segment due to repainting the main pane during the extract.
* CLI interface app didn't exit if console was empty prior to invocation due
to overzealous Explorer detection. This is now only done if no arguments
are supplied.
* Fixed crash in MPEG-1 parser when encountering a pack with a too-short
length, such as zero.
* Audio codec errors sometimes reported the wrong source of the error (i.e.
decompressor vs. compressor).

[regressions fixed]
* Pixel shaders were disabled in Direct3D bicubic mode due to debug code
mistakenly left in.
* MRU list sometimes didn't resort properly when reopening a recently opened
file.

Virtual Dub 1.6.11 released today

Build 23774 (1.6.11, stable): [October 2, 2005]
[features fixed]
* Added support for using D3D .fx files for hardware-assisted display. This
requires d3dx_25.dll (DirectX 9.0c April 2005) to work.
* Added keyboard shortcuts for scene forward/backward.

[bugs fixed]
* The current frame could not be copied after a "scan for errors" command.
* Fixed crash in DV type-1 audio resampling code at end of stream.
* Fixed audio read errors on DV type-1 files with drop frames.
* Fixed a couple of crash bugs related to using positive audio displacements.
* Fixed a rare filter crash triggered by a previously failing filter suddenly
becoming able to start while the filter list is being edited.
* Fixed bad write length in .wav writer.
* If precision was set to "no change" but channel conversion was enabled, the
audio was converted to 8-bit.
* Error descriptions for failed jobs were often truncated after exiting and
restarting the app.
* JPEG decoder sometimes reported false parsing errors due to not parsing
over comment blocks.
* Filter load and AVI append functions could report "operation completed
successfully" rather than the proper error.
* AVI File Information reported an incorrect preload value for AVIs that
started with a video chunk.
* Capture: Stop conditions were being saved even if Accept was pressed.
* Capture: Emulation test driver crashed on activation if the last used video
file couldn't be found.
* (AMD64 only) Disassembler was not decoding base registers properly.
* (AMD64 only) Cropping was incorrect or outright broken with some video
filters.

[regressions fixed]
* "Split" audio filter was broken.
* Frameserver exposed too much audio when range to be served was set through
range selection, rather than the tail being deleted.

Virtual Dub 1.6.15 released


Build 24442 (1.6.15, stable): [May 28, 2006]
[bugs fixed]
* Added workaround for BMP files with bad BITMAPINFOHEADER::bfSize fields.
* Added workaround for TARGA files with run-length encodings that span scanlines (not allowed by spec).
* Fixed abort confirm and disk I/O options not saving consistently.
* Warnings, particularly the VBR warning, are now displayed after opening a file through command-line arguments.
* Fixed crash when VirtualDub.jobs file is not writable.
* Fixed crash when dealing with RLE4 and RLE8 encoded videos.
* Fixed stride error with odd-width TARGA files.
* Fixed occasionally oversized wave format structure being written when decompressing audio.
* The "autoselect" input color format now also tries 256 color mode in order to support old codecs that can only output this format.
* Capture: Switched graph construction code in DirectShow layer to prefer Video Renderer over VMR to avoid Direct3D.
* AMD64: Fixed one-byte PUSH/POP instructions reporting incorrect registers in disassembly.
* AMD64: Fixed field swap filter.

Hmmmm, isnt it time to update this thread ?

Today I found out that VirtualDub 1.6.17 stable has been released;

Build 24469 (1.6.17, stable): [November 4, 2006]
[bugs fixed]
* Fixed divide by zero crash when Direct3D display is enabled and a video pane is shrunken to zero width.
* UYVY video streams were being reported as RGB16.
* Direct3D display minidriver didn't clip properly when the image was zoomed larger than the screen.

[regressions fixed]
* Capture: Reverted change in rendering strategy for DirectShow filter graphs in order to fix field problems with ATI devices.
* Capture: Fixed crash when capturing video only using a VfW driver.


Also released: VirtualDub 1.7.0 experimental;

Build 25854 (1.7.0, experimental): [November 5, 2006]
[features added]
* New "smart rendering" feature for selective processing of video around edit areas while copying as many existing frames as possible.
* New audio waveform/spectrogram display.
* Added option for preserving empty frames during recompression or decompression instead of replicating frames.
* Added option for saving raw audio stream without a header.
* Added support for the Sony WAVE64 file format, for wave files larger than 4GB.
* Added support for reading and writing Adobe Filmstrip (.flm) files.
* Added support for reading Maya IFF (.iff) files. Currently this is limited to RGB information at 8 bits/channel.
* PNG output is now supported.
* Resize video filter now has options for relative and aspect-ratio derived sizing and to save defaults.
* Opening a video file from the command-line or drag-and-drop now sets the filename as default for the Save As AVI/WAV dialogs.
* Added new pitch scaling audio filter.
* Improved quality of "center cut" audio filter (with suggestions from Moitah).
* The main window and job control dialogs now save their positions.
* Opacity curves can now be attached to video filter instances.
* Volume adjustment now shows amplification factor in decibels.
* Filter API: Preview code preserves keyboard accelerators on preview button.
* Job control: (X of Y) is now displayed in the job control window caption when the job list is being processed.
* AVI Info now shows additional information for PCM audio streams encoded using WAVE_FORMAT_EXTENSIBLE.
* Capture: Added experimental option to insert arbitrary DirectShow transform filters into a capture graph. To enable, specify the filter moniker in SoftwareFreewareVirtualDubHidden FeaturesCapDShow: Transform filter name] in the Registry.
* Capture: Added full-screen toggle (Alt+Enter).
* Capture: Added support for switching DirectShow TV tuners between antenna and cable modes.

[features removed]
* The "integral conversion" option under audio conversion is no longer supported.

[bugs fixed]
* Fixed a case where the projected file size status indicator could overflow for very long audio dumps.
* AVIs with MP3 audio streams where wBitsPerSample != 0 are now detected and auto-corrected for better compatibility with the standard MP3 codec installed in Windows.
* Rewrote segmentation code to buffer data instead of attempting size prediction; this makes the segmentation more accurate and avoids dangling key frames during on-the-fly compression.
* Added workaround for compatibility problems with Aero Glass in Windows Vista beta 2.
* Audio displacement now works when processing only part of the audio stream.
* Added warning for non-zero dwStart values in AVI files.
* Fixed a performance problem in the PNG decoder on large images with a lot of IHDR blocks.
* Fixed errors in JPEG encoding with pure red or blue colors.
* Changed keyboard shortcut for Undo from Ctrl+U to the standard Ctrl+Z.
* Added workaround for annoying Microsoft security update that sometimes prevents the help file from working.
* Fixed clamping in amplifier that caused -0x8000 values to change to -0x7FFF.
* Capture: Duplicate raw wave formats are no longer shown with DirectShow-based drivers.
* Capture: The UI now reflects changes to audio and video sources made through the driver dialogs.
* Capture: Possible fix for crash when changing formats with DirectShow-based devices due to threading issue.
