   Reviewing 1.9.1 Experimental (Mar 30, 2009)

   I really like this little program. I don't use all the functions but it is pretty great at what it does.
   
   I run it right out of the folder from the UNZIP - don't have to install it formally. I create a shortcut for it via the right-mouse click menu and put that shortcut on my Dock Bar program.
   
   I can download the latest XviD CODEC if I wish (I like it better than DivX) and install that and it becomes available from the VIDEO > COMPRESSION dialog.
   
   So, when I make FRAPS captures of my video game sessions and then save those, I can open up VirtualDub, load that game video (AVI) and go to the VIDEO > FILTERS dialog and then ADD the RESIZE filter, set it at 640x480, SAVE it then click the OK button.
   
   Then all I have to do is go to the FILE menu and choose SAVE AS AVI, type in a name and I get a compressed but great looking video of my game recording but in 640x480 instead of 1600x1200 or 1280x960, and then I can upload that video to YouTube or a file download hosting site and people can view the video.
   
   It's great when you are playing different games and your buds all want to check out what the games play like. I can play PainKiller Black Edition and Unreal Tournament 2004, they can play C & C 3 Tiberium Wars, UT 3, L4Dead and Gears of War and I can watch the videos of how those games play. It's just awesome that it's so easy to do and it doesn't cost ANYTHING at all! 100% Free!
   
   So even if I just use one or two main features and make the video, that's still just fine. I'm getting my monies worth totally!

   This is the only piece of video encoding software I will probably ever use. Now, after checking out the latest experimental version, I love it even more. The new Queue Batch is a dream come true and I am anxious to see how it is developed as 1.9 moves along.

   This is just such a small simple and powerful program. I have never even had a beta version give me problems. I would highly recommend this software. I just need to find a solution to opening vbr avi's

   analphatester: Have you ever considered the possibility that the problem isn't the app, but your system? Just for kicks, why don't you try running VirtualDub on a clean install or in a virtual machine and see if that isn't the case?
   
   Regardless, VirtualDub is a 5-star piece of software if ever there was one.
