Virtual Dub looks like this:
How to change the video format? Just follow the instructions below.

2. Go to Video tab and press Compression…
Here you can select video compression, also you can see the video codec information. Remember FOURCC code in codec information
Click OK
3. In Virtual Dub you can cut parts of the movie and compress only that part. For this you must select option below
4.Go to File , click on Save AVI… , When the window appear set parameters like shown below, just add your FOURCC code(file extension), in this example I compress in to .xvid
