Sorry I didn't saw your reply of 26.10.21 . So you found a solution .

1) I found this 6.01 portable version : https://mega.nz/file/nHgRwYyB#hQlM27QMVoXBUtFs95DZUtQb0NhrQuVcABOPSCtkytM Don't know if it's still WinXP compatible . Includes a ffmpeg23.exe file (09.03.2018) . 2) I found ffmpeg19.exe from 2015: https://mega.nz/file/KDoxVQzR#r0YwKqASOnB3raxUsFndnKWTiqcno4hz8hbGF4YLZm8 So try to Install a 4.x version or 3.x version from: http://www.oldversiondownload.com/

@Russ Croucher As I mentioned in a previous topic , I do something more time saving: 1) Before starting editing , I start stabilizing all videos with a stand alone stabilizer (i prefer ffmpeg its a gnu , free) . Stabilized files get a new name / folder. I prefer ffmpeg than the build in deshaker . I prefer ffmpeg even over Mercalli 4 . For some reason Videopad use pretty old version of Deshake (2.4) . FFmpeg have less borders and better results from both of them (Deshaker 2.4 / Mercalli 4) . 2) At the same time or later or next day or whenever I want I start editing the whole project . 3) If I chose to replace some sections with stabilized ones , I isolate them in a separate clip , and I chose 'Replace Clip File' and I replace them whith the stabilized ones. If the stabilized files are not ready yet I save the project and continue replacing files later or tomorrow ... 4) (Optionally) FFmpeg batch files can be structured like a watchfolder so they can be run in a separate machine in my LAN , so I got 0% CPU consumption in my PC during stabilization (when they run from another PC) . Here are some batch script I use: @ECHO OFF CLS MD Videos for %%a in (videos\*.*) do ( DEL transforms.trf ffmpeg -i "%%a" -vf vidstabdetect -f null - ffmpeg -i "%%a" -vf vidstabtransform=smoothing=50:crop=keep:invert=0:relative=0:zoom=0:optzoom=2:zoomspeed=0.2:interpol=bilinear:tripod=0 -map 0 -c:v libx264 -preset fast -crf 9 -c:a aac -b:a 192k "videos\%%~na-DONE.mp4" DEL transforms.trf ) echo echo echo "------>>>>>>>>>> J O B I S N O W C O M P L E T E <<<<<<<<<<------" echo PAUSE EXIT More: ffqueue gui

The above procedure made on an project without unloading / reloading it .

7.xx versions up to now (7.30) have the followig behaviour: 1) I load some project and try to make my first export . Export -> Video File -> Preset: Custom File Format -> Pencil symbol -> H265 / "High Quality / Larger Filesize" / Audio: 192 kbps => OK => Create 2) Now lets make another encoding ... Export -> Video File -> ... We notice that Preset display 'Custom" , but VP didn't saved previous settings (H264 / Default Quality ). Now if I drop down 'Custom' and choose 'Custom' again (!) . My favourite settings will now be restored (H265 / "High Quality / Larger Filesize" / Audio: 192 kbps) Maybe this is the reason for many people who can't make expected exports .

There is no answer so long . So Videopad will fix or brake this feature ? (!)

The original DV file is avi 5.5GB (lets say A.avi) . I isolate a small portion of 5 secs using AviDemux (lets say B.avi) . B.avi is interlaced again . For some peculiar reason 6.21 succeeded to export deinterlaced both A.avi and B.avi , Using 7.24 export file A.avi is interlaced but B.avi is OK deinterlaced . The problem is I can't sent A.avi . The small sample B.avi is succsesfully exported using 7.24 .

7.24 does not yet solves the DV tapes deinterlacing issue reported @ 7.11 Video w 6.31 http://prntscr.com/oiq5xm Video w 7.24 http://prntscr.com/oiq6nz Using 7.24 video preview is OK (deinterlaced) but when exporting it , it still has interlace . I reported once more today. So I stick to 6.31 for one more reason . Regards Mike

1) Before inserting the clip into timeline , rotate it 180 degrees . 2) Insert this clip into timeline . Preview looks OK . 3) Split the clip . 4) The B part of the clip is not rotated but the 180 deg. rotation effect is enabled on this clip . So I go back to 6.31 ... again ...

I do something more time saving: 1) Before starting editing , I start stabilizing all videos with a stand alone stabilizer (i prefer ffmpeg) . Stabilized files get a new name / folder. I prefer ffmpeg than the build in deshaker . I prefer ffmpeg even over Mercalli 4 . FFmpeg have less borders and better results from both of them (Deshaker 2.4 / Mercalli 4) . 2) At the same time or later or next day or whenever I want I start editing the whole project . 3) If I chose to replace some sections with stabilized ones , I isolate them in a separate clip , and I chose 'Replace Clip File' and I replace them whith the stabilized ones. If the stabilized files are not ready yet I save the project and continue replacing files later or tomorrow ... 4) (Optionally) FFmpeg batch files writen like a watchfolder so they can be run in a separate machine in my LAN , so I got 0% CPU consumption in my PC during stabilization when they run from another PC . So I never wait for stabilization .

@Alex J Are you sure that you manage to use vdf plugins ?. As I reported I can't use vdf plugins from all 6.xx - 7.xx versions Which version do you use ? Concerning Noise Reduction , I assume that is was removed due to very very low proccess time . I downgraded 6.31 only to test it but it was terribly slow. Ragards Mike .

Even if I try to test your recomended vdf plugins from: https://www.nchsoftware.com/videopad/free-plugins.html Let's say MSU Old Cinema 2.0 The plugin dialog opens but finally there is no effect on my video: http://prntscr.com/oeyqt2 TIA Mike

Using MediaInfo I found that "Default Quality" is CRF=28 and "High Quality" is CRF=24 . However x265 version is 1.8 and this is extremely old (10.08.2016) , currnent is 3.1 (18.06.2019) .

Concernig the bug report I already did this . Regarding 265 , when choosing .AVI there is not h265 option . After intalling x265vfw_x86_v300_x265b169_8bit_20190226.exe I could choose it . However the question is how to disable the limitation of a wrong size estimation .

mp4 works good . I try to make .avi in order to use the external vfw265 codec (internal h265 does not have so many options) I use 6.32 (the latest 6.xx version) . All 7.xx versions does not deinterlace OK my DV files (as I previously reported)
