§ ¶VirtualDub 1.7.7 released

New stable version is out: 1.7.7. No new features, just some bug fixes. Enjoy.

Build 28312 (1.7.7, stable): [December 9, 2007]
   [bugs fixed]
   * Improved accuracy of "set so audio and video durations match" for short
     clips.
   * Fixed vertical chroma positioning errors when converting to 4:2:0 or 4:1:0
     YCbCr.
   * PluginSDK: Direct stream copy from a plugin audio stream caused
     dwStreamSize in the AVI to be set incorrectly.
   * PluginSDK: Fixed crash when using plugin to load a file with an audio
     stream that isn't AVI compatible.
   * Capture: When "wait for OK" was enabled with a DirectShow driver, time
     spent in the dialog was counted against a time stop condition.
   * Capture: Fixed crash when an error occurs while starting capture with a
     custom hotkey. 

   [regressions fixed]
   * "Save segmented AVI" no longer crashes when only video is enabled.
   * Prohibit zero for frame rate adjustment.
   * Filters: The error return from runProc is ignored again for compatibility
     with earlier versions of VirtualDub; this fixes some video filters that
     broke in the 1.7.x series.
   * D3D: Fixed a display change related crash. 

§ ¶Just click it

I decided to try out the final RTM release of Visual C++ Express 2008 today, and no sooner than I mount the ISO image and run the setup app, do I see this:

"If prompted, click the Run or Open command for any download or security warning dialog that appears"???

It pretty much defeats the purpose of displaying warnings to the user if you train them to blindly close the dialogs....
