    I want to be able to encode to h.264 using Virtualdub. I understand installing x264vfw_full_43_2694bm_43159_fix.exe will do this by installing the encoding h264 codec. Right?

    But I check file x264vfw_full_43_2694bm_43159_fix.exe with virustotal.com and several virus checkers detect malware.

    I realise it is probably a false positive but I do not want to take any risk. How can I be certain the file is safe?

    If you mean report like this (5 / 57) than this false positive.
    As for more proof I can only provide you correct hashes of this file:
    MD5 - 14350e380d363993093d8627538fa381
    SHA1 - a48e20705652d353b21fc82345f90e8080719d2f
    Or unpack installer with 7zip and check every file there.
