Thank you shekh for answering me, but the new entry is not added because VirtualDub 1.10.4 is opened instead of VirtualDub2. Is more or less what TinMan is trying to say.

Edit: in short, I have VirtualDub 1.10.4 and VirtualDubMod 1.5.10.3 both modded by bcn_246.

I see the name "VirtualDub" as a shared/inherited namespace. Steering away from it creates some trouble.
Some people use scripts with "virtualdub.exe" or "vdub.exe" name baked in. It is trivial to modify, but why?
Also the registry key for settings is "virtualdub.org".
Inside the chm the word "VirtualDub" is on all pages. I think it is not very good idea to replace it.

Will the script editor title bar name be changed ? (I'm good either way but would be nice to know)

EDIT: For SawBones AutoIt utility, have now changed to VirtualDub2 as required main window title, need to know what the
script editor will be called otherwise if future name changed then will cease to function properley, awaiting next release to
see if script editor window renamed.
EDIT: Have now banished 3 versions of VirtualDub from my machine (v1.8MPEG2, v1.9.xx and v1.10.4), am though keeping
VdubMod as I have several templates / scripts that rely upon it and it does not conflict with Vd2 in the same way that VD final does.

EDIT To Below: thanx Shekh, good to know.
Guess I have to mod the VDMod reliant scripts etc to work with VD2, and can then get rid of that one too

Yes, going to change in next hotfix build. Also in other windows titles (status, log, jobs, ...)

Because of *consistency*.

Just as an example, in the beginning MPC-HC used an mplayerc.ini as if it were just a newer version of Media Player Classic. Fortunately the developers realized that MPC-HC was greater than the original MPC and started to act accordingly.

You are right, this association does not work the way I thought. Need to investigate.

This .reg template worked for me:

Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VirtualDub2.media.x86\shell\open\command]
@="\"E:\\vd\\VirtualDub.exe\" \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VirtualDub2.media.x64\shell\open\command]
@="\"E:\\vd\\VirtualDub64.exe\" \"%1\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.avi\OpenWithProgids]
"VirtualDub2.media.x86"=hex(0):
"VirtualDub2.media.x64"=hex(0):
Looks like the manual method (browse for program) relies on filename.exe, might have worked if I followed Midzuki' suggestion.

I tried saving it in a .reg file and followed without fixing the problem.

You did not reply to PM, so have you replaced "e:\\vd..." with the correct path?
I'd prefer to prepare installer instead of massaging reg files, but it needs time.

Do you mean to fit (letterbox) image into window? As opposed to current "Fit Outside" method.
The reason I don't offer more common "Fit Inside" is I am still abusing the display system which is quite restricted. It is also impossible to have large zoom

Looks good so far! Although wouldn't you know it, I have a couple more suggestions, I'm afraid...

Could fullscreen maintain aspect ratio? Could there be scaling options in fullscreen mode?

One minor one: would it be possible when zipping up a version to put everything in a directory? It's a bugbear of mine when you have to create a new folder to drag everything into instead of just dragging out a folder

I thought about this and renaming "VirtualDub.exe" still does not look more appealing. It is 50/50 to me (no go).

In any case, I sorted various occurences of "VirtualDub" which I have to consider. Comments enabled. https://sourceforge.net/p/vdfiltermod/tickets/101/

Why not? It has the same right-click menu. Have you tried?

I have problems with the energy power and the internet connection, sorry.
You're right, is better prepare a robust solution. In the 41489 version the problem continues, open VD 1.10.4 instead of your program.

I did - the zoom options do nothing (the tick doesn't move). The aspect ratio options weren't doing what I had expected, and I hadn't realised what it was doing because of the abstract test video I was using - it seems to be cropping in order to fill the screen completely, instead of adding black bars to show the whole video, which I think would be the most expected and useful behaviour (since there is currently no way to view a full video in the right aspect ratio, unless it happens to match your screen).

Well, okay, but for those who like to copy a single directory it would be useful (VirtualDub2 currently lives in a folder on my desktop); for those who don't, they just have to go down one level and it's the same as before. It is therefore objectively the best way for everybody

Have you seen post 474 https://forum.doom9.org/showthread.p...70#post1836670

Zoom and aspect ratio work the same way as in non-fullscreen state.
You cannot zoom less than to fill entire window and it means with small picture you have no options at all. With 1920 picture on 1920 screen you can zoom 100, 150, 200 etc. Not 75.
