So yeah I am not looking to do anything super complex here. I just need to figure out how to say take make the video, and just the video, fade to black over the last second or two of the video. I have tried looking around and lots of things have talked about using Blend or keyframes but thats all greek to me so...can anyone help?

Ok that worked great. Exactly the thing I wanted in terms of how it looks. There is a problem though.

Normally what I do when I need to play around in virtualdub is just replacing one audio track with another. So I have to set it at direct stream copy and that works great. However when I do these changes when I try to then Save as .avi and then play that avi file it is so choppy and laggy. Any advice?

Sounds like you are not compressing your video.
See this recent thread, Compression Encoder, which one to use?
