VirtualDub is a powerful tool for video editing, that depends on the codecs we have installed on the system.
With VirtualDub you can improve the quality of AVI video files, applying the configuration of the corresponding codecs so they change the frame rate, brightness of the image, aspect ratio (16:9, 4:3) and many other things.
Another quality is that you can stick the subtitles of a motion picture to the original file, and in this way use other software to transfer to DVD format directly.
If you want to work on the sound of a motion picture, then VirtualDub will let you extract it to apply improvements and then join it to the video again.
VirtualDub has a simple interface, but numerous editing tools that make it an excellent and powerful application for working with videos.
