# Documentation

This is the beginning of what I hope to be a comprehensive on-line help area for VirtualDub. It's not meant to be a replacement for a manual -- that alone would take nearly as much time as coding the program -- but it should answer a lot of the more common questions I've previously had to field by email. Please spread the word if it's helpful; not only does it lessen my email load, but you get faster answers than waiting for me to answer!

If you copy material from here, I'd appreciate an attribution; I tend to type these things at obscene hours in the morning and it's nice for others to know who wrote it. There's some overlap with the FAQ, but I hope to eliminate the latter soon.

Suggestions are also very welcome. You know where to send them.
