VirtualDub2

... and how is the logic in orig 44282 release?

Just want to thank the author for continuously updating this important tool.

Current builds support even JPEGXL, WEBP and AVIF image sequences as input, which is unheard of in "professional-grade" software (Adobe Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, etc.). Extremely important for my workflow. Thank you!

@v0lt

I had no idea that a new version was out already. Can you tell me the major improvements of the new Virtualdub2? I am currently on Windows 10 on a mini PC/

Most important improvement: Supports ffmpeg Version 7.x and new codecs available since then (e.g. AV1, VVC decoders).

Can VirtualDub2 handle and show HDR colors? If so, how?

No. VirtualDub only supports Bt.601 and Bt.709.

What about your newer version of it?

I'm trying to make a direct stream copy as opposed to a stream copy. My goal is to trim the video before a certain time. I can do this using Stream Copy, but Direct Stream Copy requires a different input driver. I'm trying to avoid an error where the audio and video do not match each other. What is the best way to accomplish this? Do I disable the caching input driver when it comes to Direct Stream copy? Or do I use something else?

Yes, in this case you get the usual VirtualDub work, but it will work for AVI and you will need the VFW and ACM codecs.

The Caching input driver seems to be able to copy I-frame only video streams. I haven't checked.

What is the best way to accomplish this?

Try Avidemux.

I ended up using AVIDemux as even the exported "Stream Copy" version was off by a few seconds. Virtualdub2 (or the 44282 version that I was using) will not Direct Stream Copy the video I was using. For context, I used a file that I dumped with FFMPEG although I think I should have used a simpler script. It looks like it works now
