What is to say.....after 20 years, still the best freeware program to edit videos. Needs some tweaks though to deal with modern filetypes, but who complains if its given for free. Thank you Avery Lee for all these memorable years.

It's Virtual Dub. I mean... this program is legendary, who doesn't know about Virtual Dub.
The only grip I have with Vdub is the fact that it can't take every format you send to it. If a separate program or plug-in was developed that let you feed pretty much any file into it, and that goes into VDub without any special command=line, the program would be PERFECT.

Renowned for it's overall features but long overdue for a GUI re-design. This is the type of program that should be to be a lot cleaner to use than it actually is. I still have to jog my memory about what frame/marker button does what every-time I run VD.
Seriously though, how many years has it been since it's first release? The interface doesn't appear to have have changed one bit.
I'm not talking about a complete make-over but I think it could be a lot more user-friendly with a bit of a clean-up, maybe even some customizable skins in addition to the default "Windows-95" one. :)

If anyone is interested... I posted a VDPROF for exporting to MP4, MPEG2 and FLV. There is also a document that explains a lot of pitfalls in VirtualDub as well as the external encoder use and links to the encoders needed and how to set it up.
It is using the AVC/AAC codecs at the moment for FLV but the scripts could be expanded since it uses FFMpeg as well.
The link is WWW.Budmansite.com and navigate to the VirtualDub section. The pertinent downloads are "*" headed.
If anyone cares to try it out.
