Thanks Nat.

I'll defiantly try out that software, any video converter. I just was wondering if there was any quick fix, but this works fine.

Hello.

I have recently encountered a problem with Videopad. When I record video with a common PC/game recorder, Fraps, the files that are spit out for some reason crash Video Pad when I put them into the video track. These videos (After about some 2-3 minuets, Fraps creates a new file) are uncompressed and very large. About one minuet of footage is one gigabyte. I was wondering if there was any fix for this, other than possibly converting the video somewhere else - that would simply take ages.

Video pad is version 2.22

Hey, me again, another quick question.

Does Videopad automatically update itself (version wise)?

Or must I do something manually to update it?

Thanks

Coming in late here, but just to add my 2 cents.

 

You're speaking of "save selection," as opposed to "save." That is, you want to SELECT fifteen-minute segments and save them. At the same time having several of these selections saved automatically--set it up and walk away.

 

I don't know of any program that will do this (though there could be thousands I don't know about), but it sounds like a job for VirtualDub, which I often use hand in hand with VideoPad.

 

The secret here is VirtualDub's "Direct Stream Copy" options. Video ~> Direct Stream Copy, and Audio ~> Direct Steam Copy.

 

Set for Direct Stream Copy, VirtualDub is very, very fast, and it makes no changes to the vid, it simply copies. Much faster than saving separate clips.

 

So it would not be a dealie to have VideoPad save a master, so to speak, and use VirtualDub to extract any number if segments from the master. In fact, hmmm, now that I think about it, I think that might be just the way to do some things.

 

Of course...now you have another program to learn, so the cure might be worse than the disease. Still, it might be an option to consider.

Thanks, that sounds exactly like what I needed.

May I ask, though, where exactly can you find this elusive "Save selection" button? I can't seem to find it.

I will also try VirtualDub,

Thanks a lot!

Yes, by render, I meant to save as data. I've been working with VP for a little while now, and am very satisfied. But, my only issue so far is that with the situations I have, videos are preferably in 15 min segments. Previously I would just sit there and every time it finished simply enter the new times for it to save as, which is by no means a difficult task, but I was curious as to if it was possible to save it in 15 min segments by one sequence of presses, rather than waiting until the earlier segment finished.

I appreciate your help, and will defiantly try the create chapters function.

Thanks,

Tyler

I was wondering, is it possible to render out multiple things at once? For example: If I have some hour of footage, and I'd like to set it into 15 minuet parts, is there any way I can set them all to render and once and walk away?

Thanks in advance.
