Hello, How can I set the Encoder Level for an exported video file using VideoPad (VP)? I'm using VP version 13.67, preset of HD 1080P, my exported videos have the Encoder Level at 5.2 (Main@L5.2). I'm using the software program named Mediainfo version 22.09 to verify the encoder level of my video files. The current version of the Plex server (1.32.6.7468) will not work with video files using Encoder Level 5.2. My work around is to use Handbrake and set the Encoder Level to a lower level. I'm hoping to be able to set the Encoder Level within VP. Thanks, Greg

I am new to video editing and would greatly appreciate it if someone could advise me regarding "Device Settings", "Encoder Settings" and "Property" Settings for video capture please. I am using a video capture device with the red, yellow and white RCA plugs (plus S Video) with a USB connector for the PC. My PC is 3.6Ghz, 16 GB of RAM, Windows 10. I have the latest version of Videopad and plenty of spare disk space. I would like to capture video from the following devices: Sony Digital Camera/Recorder (Mini DV Cassette tapes); Sony Handycam Camera/Recorder Hi8; and a standard VHS player. In the "Record"-> "Record Video" under the "Devices" window I have selected "USB 2861 Device" (there is no other choice); "Line (Master AV Cap)" - I assume this is my capture card - the only other choice is a mic I have connected; and "640x480 [4:3] 29.97fps" which is top of the list and therefore I assume it is the default. Under the "Device Settings" -> "Properties" ->"Video Decoder" tab the only change I have made is to select "PAL_B" instead of "NTSC-M" which is what it was when I first opened Videopad. I have NOT checked the "VCR Input" box. I have not made any changes to the default settings under the "Video Proc Amp" or "Video Image" tabs. As I am using the "640x480 [4:3] 29.97fps" setting (default???) should I check the "Video Input" box in the "Video Decoder" tab when I use the VHS player AND the cameras or should it only be checked when using the VHS player? Or should I not check it at all? Also, in the "Video Image" tab should I change "Pic Size" from "Default" to "640x480" to match it to the "640x480 [4:3] 29.97fps" setting? On burning my first effort to DVD (burnt at 4:3) which I took from video captured on my Sony Digital Camera/Recorder (Mini DV Cassette tape) reproduction was reasonably good but there were times with fast moving subjects when their image momentarily "ghosted". When the recording was taken (some 20 years ago) the camera was set to "Very Fine Picture Quality" in order to capture fast moving people and objects. For capturing the images I had Videopad set to "640x480 [4:3] 29.97fps" and "PAL_B" - no other changes were made to the default settings. Is anyone able to suggest how I might obtain the best quality capture and DVD reproduction through my cameras and VCR please? Thank you.

Hi exporting with x265 is very slow. is there a 64bit x265 encoder component that can be used instead of the current 32bit encoder? Thanks

I am developing a simple live streaming mobile application. In which I am recording the video from mobile cam (IOS and Android Native apps) and streaming it to a media server(Wowza) that broadcasting the live stream on real time. I want to use H.264 video codec and AAC audio codecs. How should I take care of Encoding from Point of origin of Live-stream to media server. Any suggestions or Inputs can be of great help
