Interesting Build of VirtualDub/Mod

[Soopafresh]

I found this on a Japanese web site. It's VirtualDub/Mod v1.78 - a hybrid of the new VirtualDub and the Avisynth script editing ability of VirtualDubMod. Untested, but it looks like works.

Mods, if there's a more applicable section to place this in, by all means...

virtualdub-1.7.8-modplus-20080304.zip

Cool!

Perhaps useful to bookmark the web page for updates, though it doesn't have a lot more info:

After copying the files to a new folder, it works fine. The AVS editor is one of the "killer" features of VDubMod that I keep using it for, despite it otherwise being rather out of date. But the "Streams" functions of VDubMod are also very handy, these haven't been ported, unfortunately.

I know this is 4 years later, and therefore apt to pick up the automatic responses about grave-robbing on threads, but you did just post a comment about this in the Tools section. So -- in my view -- that makes it semi-current again.

My question: Is it possible to have this and other version(s) of VDub installed and usable on the same system at the same time ? Or would this lead to conflicts and problems ? (If these were portable versions of VDub, that issue would not even arise.)

And, while I'm at it, the URL you posted above has since gone 404, as these things unfortunately are wont to do. (Reminds me of something lordsmurf once said, about the internet not being some library, reliably based on the Dewey Decimal System . . . . )

Yes, you can have multiple versions of VDub/Mod installed at a time, including 32-bit and 64-bit builds. I do it. Just make sure they're all in their own separate directories, and you can set up shortcuts to each version.

This version doesn't have the Streams menu/option, though? That's one of the things I liked about the original VDubMod.

Seeker47 - You COULD have just made a new thread instead of using AlanHK's tools comment an excuse to grave rob. Just saying. Your question is only tangentially relevant to the original thread anyway. Was your first though "Hmm... let me see if I can search and find an old thread on this subject to add to rather than create a new thread"? Because it sure seems that way.

And, while I'm at it, the URL you posted above has since gone 404,

Yes. Which is why I asked Baldrick to archive the file in the Tools section here, and thus my comment there when he did earlier today to highlight it.

The source though is here: https://github.com/chattama/modplus and the author is still active.

Not at all. I happened to be reading that very thread, had recently seen Alan's Tools Section comment, and thought that this was more than tangentially relevant. The whole "thread-grave-robbing" argument has continued here for quite some time, with various members (legitimately) having different tolerances and different takes on the issue. (On the other side of the fence, one can make a case re needless thread duplication and proliferation, where a more consolidated approach has its merits.) I too have raised an eyebrow on occasion, at what I thought were gratuitous and unwarranted "resurrections." But where I generally come down on this matter is that if someone has new, significant, or relevant things to add, I really don't mind at all (as a reader) if the particular thread happens to have been dormant for a few years. And I know a number of other members have expressed much the same take.

Ditto for legitimate segues within an ongoing thread. If someone mentions something that some may consider a "Left Turn", it opens the door to response, and I'm not going to have an overly starched reaction to that.

Actually, I almost only sent AlanHK a PM on this, rather than post anything, new thread or old. But I didn't go that way, because my first thought (since you asked) is always 'Might some other reader possibly benefit from the answer to this ?' So I didn't.

As long as you
(1) acknowledge the age of the thread, and
(2) have a good reason to add to it,

... then I think most people are fine with it. I know I am.

Sadly, VDub 1.7 is just too old. It would be nice to have a VDub 1.9.x version.

A PM is a PERSONAL message. If you have a question about a video topic, put it in the forum.
I don't like getting an email alert that I have a PM and come here to find some routine question that isn't personal at all, and that basically anyone could answer. I'll answer when I have time and if I think I have something useful to say.

Your question wasn't too off topic here, but if you've ever installed VDub at all, it's just a zip file that you extract into a folder, so it is pretty self contained, I've had several versions installed at the same time.

On the topic of this VDub, I use it as an Avisynth test/display/tweaker. The audio wave display under the frames makes adjusting the delay in a script very easy, a feature not in 1.5 I used before.
I really don't understand what the VirtualDub maintainers have against Avisynth, but they have refused many requests to incorporate the AVS editor that works so well in the MOD version into the official release. I have the feeling there is some personal feud there.
