for VirtualDub using Delphi.

Requirements:
=-=-=-=-=-=-=
You will need the VirtualDub 1.4.11 or later executable and preferably
the source code as well, although the latter is highly recommended.
You will also need Delphi to compile and build the filter. For best
results, follow the tutorial (or at least read it).
Note: Filters created with this SDK should not be used with VirtualDub
1.2 or earlier, since the filters won't work.


Instalation
=-=-=-=-=-=
Copy VdFilter.pas to your project folder or to Delphi's Imports folder
and include it in your project's uses clause.
To begin with filter development, open docs\index.html in your favorite 
web browser.  The tutorial will lead you through the process of building 
a filter, and the final version is ready to compile.
