Editing VirtualDub (section)

===Video capture===
VirtualDub supports both [[DirectShow]] and [[Video for Windows]] for video capture. Capture features include capture to any AVI variant, audio [[VU meter]]s, [[Video overlay|overlay]] and preview modes, [[histogram]], selectable [[Cropping (image)|crop]] area, video [[noise reduction]], auto stop settings (based on capture time, file size, free space, and/or dropped frames), and designate alternate drive(s) for capture overflow.

VirtualDub can help overcome problems with [[digital camera]]s that also record video. Many models,{{weasel inline|date=September 2014}} especially Canon,{{which|date=September 2014}} record in an [[M-JPEG]] format incompatible with [[Sony Vegas]] 6.0 and 7.0. Saving AVI files as "old-style AVI" files allows them to appear in Vegas.

VirtualDub supports [[DV (video format)|DV]] capture from Type 2 (VfW) [[FireWire]] controllers only (It cannot work with Type 1). There is no DV batch capture, still image capture, or DV device control capability.
