Furthermore, OpenShot also deals gracefully with this situation. AVS/OS both check files on import (rejecting some of them) but once in the application they do not hang on caching and can use the videos for export. So VideoPad would therefore need to recognize failed caching and stop caching and then use a secondary system on that clip for the rest of the project. Caching is done differently in videopad then in AVS/OS. This is a common problem, in the past if I have downloaded say 50 or so clips from various sites on the web then about 5% have this problem. The caching continues and eventually hangs the application. It is quite common so I won't be providing a clip at least not right now ... as I am not editing much at the moment. But it is common for this type of editing.

@borate Hey ... I am not sure that change answers the problem. The problem is that some videos you download from video sharing have damage in them, timestamps or whatever that are wrong. And Videopad does not deal with that. It does not fail gracefully, it just keeps circulating 0% 10% 20% ... then 0% 10% 20% ... The caching function does not deal with errors in the videos. As I said AVS does deal with it, not only by not slowing down during caching, not endlessly caching and you can actually still use the videos even with errors.

If I add several clips from youtube and other places, the clips go through a kind of prescanning process and over the clip it says 10% ... 20% ... 30% ... until it is complete. But sometimes this process does not end and instead it seems to restart ... so it might go up to 40% and then restart at 0% and cycle like that. Over time the clips that are not being prescanned successfully start to drain processing time and slow down the system. And if important a large number it can hang the system. Most likely this is due to errors in downloaded clips that are used. But other software deals with this in a pragmatic way. For instance AVS editor is still able to use these clips even if there are errors in them and successfully publish them. It is fault tolerant for imperfect video clips, being able to import them successfully and use them. Is there a workaround for this? Or perhaps this is a suggestion to you? Thanks It is really high quality software but without this problem fixed I can't use it.
