A/V Software & Tools

This zip file contains two batch files and a read me file. The read me file explains how to use this simple process to convert all files of a given extension in a given folder to another format or container.

DVdate is a utility for handling avi files in general, and avi DV files in particular.  Paul Glagla presents his useful software dedicated to digital video. You can download them for free for personal or family use.

If you want to use them in a commercial, professional, administrative or even associative context, you must request a licensed Pro version.

ffdshow was the first project/package that provided the ability to leverage the FFmpeg & Libav filters via DirectShow. The project languished and was reinvigorated as ffdshow tryouts.

This version is from 2010, when they were still distributing ffdshow with all of the encoders.

FYI - There are newer projects that provide this capability, such as LAV Filters.

VirtualDub is a video processing utility created by Avery Lee and licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL). This package includes select input plugins, and the included READ ME lists and references each plugin's version and source. Download link is to file hosted in Dropbox.

(NOTE: FFmpeg input plugin is not installed in this version as it causes VirtualDub to crash. Tested on Windows 8.1 and XP. Source is provided for further testing. Newer versions of all included plugins exist, so see the readme file for details.)
