Hi there, I've downloaded VirtualDub and I was wondering if someone could tell me how you cut segments of video out?

Thanks in advance!

From the docs at the VirtualDub website..

How do I crop a video?

VirtualDub allows you to crop at the beginning of any video filter; you can do it by clicking on a video filter and then "cropping." This option is called "clipping" in versions prior to 1.4. If you don't have any video filters you want to run, add a "null transform" filter and then add cropping to that.

The reason you can crop before any filter is that filters that are spatial (area-based) tend to exhibit artifacts at the edge of the image, where the area filters are poorly defined. You can sometimes get more natural results by applying the blur/sharpen/etc. first and then cropping afterward.

You cannot crop in direct stream copy mode -- the cropped video must be recompressed. That's life.
