VirtualDub download (at SourceForge)
Downloadable files for VirtualDub are hosted by SourceForge, which provides free services for open-source and free software projects. Please support them in their noble quest.
Note: The material in these files is released under the GNU General Public License. Please read it before redistributing or mirroring. If you would like to mirror VirtualDub, be aware that it is not legal under the GPL to mirror the binary alone. It is better if you link to this page instead, in order to avoid becoming stale as new versions are released. Please do not link to the files directly, as direct linking is a bandwidth and administrative hassle. Thank you.
Note 2: All download links here lead to the SourceForge mirroring system, so you must not do a Save As from these links, or you will just get an HTML file. If the "list mirror" links are coming up as zip files, your browser is misconfigured, as it is ignoring the Content-Type: text/html declaration from the server.Release build -- 1.9.0 (experimental)
This is the executable package for the newest, experimental version of VirtualDub. Use this version if you don't mind hitting a new bug once in a while and want to try out the cutting edge version. Check the changelog for details.
You only need this one file if all you want to do is run VirtualDub. Unzip and start virtualdub.exe -- requires Windows 98+ or NT4.0+, 80486 or higher CPU, and 16MB of memory. (Note: Extract the full contents to a directory. Don't run it directly from the zip file.)

Are you still running Windows 95? The 1.7.x and subsequent releases require Windows 98, unfortunately. You can still download a 1.6.x release; the last version which will run under Windows 95 is 1.6.19.
