Release has been posted to SourceForge, although it hasn't mirrored across quite yet. Commentary on blog to come. Build is experimental because of the deeply invasive changes to the capture system as well as some rather risky but critical fixes to the I/O system.

CODE
Build 24259 (1.6.12, experimental): [January 4, 2006]
  [features added]
  * Performance settings are now auto-saved.
  * Cropping dialogs now auto-scale video that is too large to display and
    use a dashed crop border for better visibility.
  * Added /cmd flag to quickly invoke a script command from the command-
    line.
  * There is now an option to avoid tearing in the video display panes.
  * Script: Added VirtualDub.Exit(int) command to end the program with a
    specific error code.
  * Script: Added VirtualDub.subset.length property for current length of
    subset in frames (timeline).
  * Script: Added VirtualDub.video.length property for current length of
    source video in frames.
  * Capture: The list of statistics displayed in the info panel has been
    expanded and can be filtered from the Preferences dialog.
  * Capture: Modified option to adjust video timing based on drift from
    ideal stream timing rather than real-time.
  * Capture: Reworked video timing interpolation to be less sensitive to
    discontinuities in the system timer.
  * Capture: "Autoincrement filename" option now automatically skips over
    existing files as well.
  * Capture: Added timing graph to visualize behavior of resync engine.
  * Capture: Timing logs, if enabled, are automatically saved at the end of
    capture.
  * Capture: Increased precision of frame period selection from 1us to 100ns
    to reduce frame dropping at device level when using DirectShow drivers.
  * Capture: Capture from DV sources to type-2 DV AVI using the DirectShow
    DV driver is now supported.
  * Capture: Backspace now works when entering channel numbers.

  [bugs fixed]
  * Increased precision of processing fps estimate.
  * "Space" is no longer listed as an accelerator for "abort dub" since it
    doesn't work as such when rendering to disk. It still works for preview.
  * Fixed job control re-enabling itself if a menu command is chosen while a
    job is running, leading to possible reentrancy crashes.
  * Clearing the current job list or loading a new one while a job was in
    progress led to a crash.
  * Invalid MPEG-1 layer II frame headers display a slightly less confusing
    error than "internal error."
  * Renamed "use internal MJPEG decoder" in AVI extended open options to
    "use internal decoders," since it happened to force the internal DV
    decoder too. Added a sticky option in Preferences for this.
  * Filters were receiving inconsistent output frame numbers when using
    input preview or saving with a starting offset.
  * Fixed crash when crop rectangle reduced filter input to smaller than 1x1.
  * Fixed crash when using deinterlace filter in "duplicate field 2" mode.
  * Fixed broken cropping in some modes of deinterlace filter.
  * Manually stopping a save operation will now also stop a running script,
    and cause a command-line task to return with an error code.
  * CLI tool didn't work properly when path to vdub.exe/vdub64.exe contained
    spaces.
  * Removed some hard-coded limits on frame rates in the Frame Rate dialog
    box.
  * Fixed minor memory leak when plugins fail to load.
  * Fixed a case where an I/O error on the output AVI file could cause a hang
    instead of an error to be displayed.
  * MPEG-1: Fixed yet another rare frame decoding error when seeking randomly
    in the timeline.
  * MPEG-1: Fixed crash when opening file with all CPU optimizations forced on.
  * D3DFX: vd_tvpcorrect, vd_t2vpcorrect, vd_tvpcorrect2, and vd_t2vpcorrect2
    constants were computed with U and V sizes swapped.
  * Capture: VFW devices sometimes didn't display overlay properly with full-
    height frame sizes and consumed additional CPU due to the preview hook
    being left enabled.
  * Capture: The Video File (emulation) test capture driver is no longer a
    candidate for being saved as the driver to auto-start the next time
    capture mode is entered.
  * Capture: Unicode filenames are now displayed properly in the title bar.
  * Capture: Fixed 0.03% sync error when using NTSC frame rates.
  * Capture: Fixed random crash when modifying filter parameters with a WDM
    capture driver active in accelerated preview mode.
  * Capture: Fixed keyboard focus on startup so that entering channel numbers
    works again.
  * Capture: Fixed instability on reporting errors when audio resampler is
    enabled.
  * (AMD64 only) Fixed crash when opening a Motion JPEG file with no MJPEG
    codec installed. Note that the internal MJPEG codec still isn't
    implemented for this platform.

  [regressions fixed]
  * Capture: Fixed normal errors sometimes being reported as internal errors.

Thanks for your efforts.

I'm using VirtualDub one year ago, but I knew it five years ago.

I have to ideas for the Capture Mode, and I want to say to you, taking advantage of the new Version. These are:

1. The possibility to show by default the Volume Meter. In this moment is necessary enable it every time you active the Capture Mode.

2. The possibility to show by default the Windows Mixer.

I don't know if that is easy or hard, only know that could be functional.

Please heed to my ideas for this new version or others.

Happy New Year.

Nitpick:

The download page says: "Release build -- 1.6.12 (stable), 32-bit version", while in the blog entry the build is marked as experimental.

Great work phaeron! Finally I can use a single capture application for both DV and analog sources!

Ahh great,

finally the performance settings are saved! (is there really a speed up smile.gif )

I have to try the dv capture these days...
