VidToDisc allows you to backup your videos into a DVD (up to two hours of video with optimum quality, with chapters for easy navigation). It does this either in DVD video format for TV or Matroska/XVid/AC3 format for computer viewing.
the software gets now a new "camera files capture" capability. Its first goal is to allow the input of video files from digital cameras.
the software gets an help boxes mechanism, with preview, for all filters (Replace, Effect, and Transition). This is a "plugins" system ; for instance, if the plugin library (dll) for a given Effect filter is present, you will get an help box when double-clicking in a the "Arguments" column cell in the Effects grid for a clip. I think it greatly helps the filters use and may encourage their development (see the article How to develop a filter help box).
