  1. Check the new player's instructions for the file types that it handles, then export (produce) a Videopad file of that type and copy it to a USB stick. It should play.

    Effect problem

    Download and reinstall Videopad.
  3. Doesn't seem so, as there's no PITCH audio effect. Use Wavepad. To output from VP, right-click the audio clip and choose OUTPUT TO NEW FILE. That WAV file will be written to your PC.
  4. Is this effect what you had in mind?
  5. Is this what you want - a pitch change of 150%? Export your audio as a WAV file. Then bring it into an audio editor, tweak it, and drop it back into Videopad.
  6. Using File (Windows) Explorer, examine the file structure of your old (playable) and new (unplayable) DVD discs. Are they the same?
  7. The "upgrade" prompt was likely an invitation to purchase/license VP. Some time ago there was an option under UNinstall in Windows Programs and Features to keep using the free VP version after the trial expired - with limitations on export formats. It seems that option is no longer available. To fade in an overlay clip that has no overlay clip preceding it, click the fade symbol at the top-left of the clip on the timeline, then set the duration. To dissolve adjacent overlay clips, use a transition. Crossfade, for example.
  8. Yes, BURN DISC IMAGE is correct, per the graphic that Sam posted to this thread. My typing mistake. As mentioned earlier, if you've made an ISO in Videopad, then using this Windows 10 feature should make a disc that's playable in a standalone player. That worked here. But then again, so should Videopad's BURN MOVIE option. If they don't succeed, I suggest that you test the disc in another standalone player to confirm that your machine is not the problem.
  9. Tested and confirmed. I had not thought of burning an ISO in that manner, which to some extent overcomes W10's loss of DVD Maker. Good to know. The option is available as long as no other software is associated with ISO files, as Sam notes. To see the BURN DISC IMAGE option (right-click on the ISO), that file type must be associated with Windows Explorer.

    HELP!

    Seems your Mp4 was corrupted. The VPJ files are not playable; they contain instructions. Load the VPJ into Videopad and it may recreate your project, so you can export it once again. Look under "C:\Users\<your account name>\Documents\VideoPad Projects" or do a search.
  11. "MPG is a file extension for an MPEG animation in the MPEG-1 OR MPEG-2 codec. MPEG-1 was designed for coding progressive video at bit rates of about 1.5 million bits per second. It was designed specifically for Video-CD and CD-i media. MPEG-1 audio layer-3 (MP3) has also evolved from early MPEG work. MPEG-2 was designed for coding interlaced images at bit rates above 4 million bits per second. MPEG-2 is used for digital TV broadcast and DVD. An MPEG-2 player can handle MPEG-1 data as well." (techtarget.com) W7 DVD maker was capable of creating an MPEG2 encoded, DVD movie file. If you look on the disc at the file structure of a DVD MOVIE you won't see WMV. You will see _TS, as mentioned earlier. DVD standalone burning capability isn't included in Windows 10. Express Burn on W10 will do it. VP should, as a MOVIE. Still won't play? Then there's something else going on. The instructions for your standalone player should list what formats it handles. Try your discs in another standalone player.
  12. There is justifiable confusion over the term "DVD" - a Digital Versatile Disc. It is media - as are tape recordings or records. Most any file type can be burned AS DATA to a DVD, which will play on computers and some standalone players. However, in order to work dependably with standalone players the format must be compatible. For files that are playable on standalone machines the encoding to be burned to a DVD disc is MPEG2. This is a "movie" disk in Videopad terms. (Folders on the DVD will be VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS.) This may help understand the various formats and applications.
  13. Indeed, but it burns data. Unless a file conversion is made, that may not work on the standalone player that Toadstool referenced. Two links explain the process and limitations. Here's an extract from the first... "Note! if you want to burn video files like avi, mp4, wmv, etc... to DVD, then you must know that this disc will only play on computers and DVD players that support these video formats. If you wish to burn them on a DVD that can be played on every DVD player, then you need to convert the video files to DVD format first. Note! if you want to burn audio files like mp3 and wma to CD, then you must know that this disc will only play on computers and CD/DVD players that support these audio formats. If you wish to burn them on a CD that can be played on every CD/DVD player, then you need to convert the files to the .cda audio format first." http://www.easytechg...windows-10.html https://www.youtube....h?v=g523WJIwyKI Express Burn from NCH may be your best alternative.

    HELP!

    And I might suggest: always use FILE|SAVE AS incrementally on a regular basis to back up your project. Don't simply use SAVE, because that will overwrite the existing file.
  15. No. That was a Win 10 'improvement.'
  16. While exporting, In the CHOOSE DISC SETTINGS screen click the small arrow to the right of the "Burner" window (that lists your DVD burner). A box will drop down. Click on IMAGE FILE. http://windows.micro...indows-explorer
  17. To insert an image here first upload it to Dropbox, Google DRIVE, Microsoft OneDrive, etc. and copy the URL. Then click the IMAGE icon in the toolbar (above the VP forum compose window) and paste that URL. <enter> Remember, a VIDEO_TS folder cannot be loaded into VP. Its VOB files can. First, copy them from the DVD to the PC... That's been done here. Under the production name's folder, there are two subfolders: Audio_TS and Video_TS. Opening Videopad and clicking on the Video_TS subfolder displays all the VOB files contained in that folder. Selecting those VOB files, then clicking OPEN inserts them into VP.
  18. My mistake. I should have looked. DVD ENCODER options appear only with the DVD|DATA disc choice. Chances are, a data disc won't play on the TV machine. Are you certain that you're burning the correct format for the TV machine - NTSC or PAL? If NTSC it normally won't play on a PAL deck, and vice versa. Another approach: try creating a Video file, then burning it with Express Burn.
  19. When exporting as a movie, click the ENCODING button and change the video setting from its default to the other choice. Then burn. Will that play on your TV machine?
  20. What VP version is running? Try the latest for Windows. Clear the CACHE. That's done under OPTIONS|GENERAL. See this thread. Report back on results.
  21. That are functional differences between the trial and registered versions, but they should not impact the ability to import files, as far as I know. Please upload several files to Dropbox, Google DRIVE, Microsoft One Drive, etc., make them public and post a link here. Someone will test them.
  22. This video may be what you need. This discussion may help.
  23. _TS is a folder (directory), not a file. In that folder are the playable VOB files. This has nothing to do with whether VP is the trial or registered version.
  24. You can manage dissolves - from video to slide and back again - as described in the response/s to your other post. Don't change the speed of a still image. Instead, drag the borders of the still clip, on the time line, to shorten or lengthen the time the image will be on-screen. This shouldn't affect other video or audio tracks. To ensure that it doesn't LOCK them with the lock icon that's to the left of each track.
