I'd like to tag my videos with author, title, comments, etc infos. It's possible to do that through MS encoding tools, but AFAIK it handles only streamed videos. Under Windows 2000 (XP as well?), those tags are simple editable fields in the file properties page. But I run Windows 98 at home.

I've found a freeware called abcAVI Tag Editor that can edit those tags, but I'd like to do it directly from Vdub. With abcAVI Tag Editor, I've seen that Vdub already puts a tag, "Digitization software" = "VirtualDub build 13719/release"

VirtualDub writes that into the AVI's "JUNK" chunk if there is room, but AFAIK there isn't any actual AVI Tag support built into VDub. If you know enough about it (I don't), you could use the hex editor, but it's probably easier just to use abcAVI.

Nandub, a 2 pass encoding apps for DivX 3.11 based on Vdub, had basic tagging features.

Watch out for MCF in this respect, i swear you will never ever think of using AVI anymore smile.gif !
