Okay, some people apparently never graduated from grade school, so it looks like I'll have to say this explicitly.
VirtualDub is my hobby project. I work on it whenever I have spare time, by myself, on whatever I judge to be the most appropriate thing for me to work on. I have a TODO list of requests from people a mile long, of which some entries could take months just by themselves. I provide no guarantee as to when or if I can provide any such changes. Furthermore, I have a stricter policy with regard to changes that go into a stable release versus an experimental release. It seems that occasionally people don't understand this.
I want to make it clear now that it is not appropriate to demand that a change be made in a particular release. I give higher weight to bug fixes, but if I state my reasons for not wanting to make a change, I expect this to be respected, and I will lock threads where I see repeated whining about a feature not being added in consecutively released versions. I also expect this same level of respect for the time and effort of anyone else whose software is mentioned on this board.
Some of you may decide that the current development doesn't suit you. That's fine, I understand, and I never claimed that this program was universal or that I could satisfy everyone. However, if you are going to exit, please do so like a mature adult, and don't PM or post a page-long rant. I've had this happen multiple times, it just happened again, and I'm tired of it.

I hope events like this won't discourage you from working on VirtualDub. You probably have a feature request list that's longer than the phone book of a medium sized city, and I'm sure most people understand you can't do it all, and certainly not right away.
Anyway.
Thanks for all these years, and I hope there are still many more to come. In a way it would be hard to imagine a life without VirtualDub for me.

ffs.
I'd like to point out that VirtualDub was the reason why internet was built in the first place. So people could get their hands into this holy grail of video fx mayhem.
I am _right now_ writing new GPU shaders and testing them on an Xvid video. On Linux. To those who don't know, VirtualDub is NOT meant for Linux enviroment - it is a software for Windows - and getting the GPU Shaders and accelerators to work in it is not a fluke or a tweak success at this end. It works in Linux via WINE because of Avery's exceptional coding skills - it is not dependent on anything (well the GPU shader needs the DX lib), and it's not bloatware. It just works. For me, this is THE swiss armyknife for video.
VirtualDub sets an example on how software should be developed.
Nuff said.

I'm so sorry if one of my posts was inappropriate, at the end, when someone comes here to get help or something, comes to rant about something weird in the functionality. Most of the times, we don't understand why something stops working (my last thread) for not coherent reason (from our side).
Anyway sorry, I know is free, and the result of your hobby but, you know, we are people  |
