Someone advised me that Vdub isn't designed to capture DV video via passthrough. Are they correct? |

We rate this claim as mostly true.
VirtualDub will capture DV, but it will split off the audio stream to produce a type-2 DV file. It can't capture the streams interleaved together, which would produce the more usual type-1 DV file.

What kind of video is Vdub intended to capture? |

Typically it's used with devices that produce uncompressed, Motion JPEG, or edit-friendly proprietary compressed formats. However, these usually contain audio and video compressed separately. DV is unusual because it contains interleaved audio and video and yet is still frequently stored in .AVI files.
