VirtualDub is very good for capturing videos, and surprisingly - it works much better as a viewer than DScaler for capture cards with audio sync issues.

My ideas are simple: It would be great, if VirtualDub included some minor changes, so it could be conveniently used as a viewer, too:

- Possibility to disable screensaver in preview (and also in overlay) mode(s) when video is played fullscreen.
- Possibility to go straight to preview/overlay mode at startup, or at least use preview mode as default mode when entering capturing mode.

Nothing more would be needed. Many users would be happy to keep it simple and many remote controls can be mapped by using keypresses, so VirtualDub would not need a in-build support for remote controls. Only watching passthrough doesn't even need a specified interface.

Thanks.

The second one is slightly hidden -- Device > Device Settings will allow you to save the current overlay/preview state.

Thanks, found it.

For screensaver part, I recommend using No Screen Saver! 2.0 as a temporary solution for those who need it.

...or You can start VirtualDub via batch and dis/enable screensaver via regedit-entry.
But this is not only for previewing.

Yeah, batch-file is a good option for advanced users and it saves 4 MB of RAM preventing to use No Screen Saver! 2.0.

I'll drop it here, too. Original script is written by GermanOne from MajorGeeks.

(For users, who have scandinavians in the path, it's easiest to use Edit for making the batch file if coding options are confusing.)

CODE
echo off &setlocal

reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v "ScreenSaveActive" /d "0" /f >nul

start "" /wait "C:\Your\Path\VirtualDub\VirtualDub.exe"

reg add "HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop" /v "ScreenSaveActive" /d "1" /f >nul
