After capturing a VHS movie using Video Cap and editing it and burning to DVD with Video Pad the finished image from the DVD on my TV screen is quite small occupying only 2/3 of the screen surrounded by black. Have I failed to enter a parameter somewhere in VideoPad? I should add that I did select the aspect ratio to 16:9 on both the capture device and Video Pad before burning. I've tried everything I can but without any joy. Any help much appreciated

Great, that link worked and so does that version. Distortion gone! Wonder what in the later versions was causing it? I'll try it a couple of times over the next few days just to prove it. I'm remembering that the other version worked for the first few videos and then kaput! Anyway many thanks for your expert knowledge and the time you've spent with this. You`re a star😍.

Hi, Many thanks, but Link not working this. Directx = version 12 which appears to be the latest stable version. Device manager says that the best drivers are already installed although I don't know where to look specifically for the video drivers, display controller?

Hi sorry again for the delay but I can only access this for limited periods each day. CPU is pentium dual core 2.8ghz, ram +4gb, onboard graphics. win 10 pro. ver 20H2. I will try to upload the distorted project I've created to one drive and paste the link here. https://1drv.ms/v/s!AnONDyu1lHXukAv7FX6Iga3LIihY?e=2ruo3v link to distorted copy exported from Videopad. After exporting I downloaded it from one drive and it appears to be ok??? The distortion seems only to occur whilst actually in Videopad for editing. I`ll try to get a page shot. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AnONDyu1lHXukAwXHTHJtS80sL86?e=qPv9oE link to one drive screen shot showing distortion whilst editing in Video pad

https://1drv.ms/v/s!AnONDyu1lHXukAlKYLio4msoF7MM?e=Azp6Tr. Sorry it's taken me so long to do this. Please find a link, One Drive, to short mpg file I've just copied using Easy Cap. I've already uploaded it to new download of Video Pad and it appears in the time line as a distorted image as I previously described. I will attempt to uploaded a screen shot of a single frame showing the distortion. I've downloaded a copy of "this version" but it's giving me the same distorted image when I upload the short video to it. I`m trying to get a copy of the distorted frame from "clipboard" to here, without success? I'll try the updates you've suggested next.

Hi, many thanks for your prompt reply, sorry it's taken me so long to respond. I used the link you provided and installed the latest version of videopad and I cleared the cache as you suggested, but the problem persists. I've tried all of the mpg files which I've created with EASY CAP from old vhs tapes and whilst I can play the mpg files with windows media player and vcl a soon as I transfer them to video pad I get the same distorted image. As I said I'm new to this and I've never transferred a file in the way you've suggested but I will try. However, as the mpg files play perfectly. I can't see of what use you can make of them? I can probably send you a screen shot which will show a single distorted frame. What I can`t understand is why it worked fine for the first couple of files I transferred.

Hi, I`m a newby to this, so please be patient. When I upload an MPG file to videopad it displays a distorted image in that there are two identical images in each frame which are 90 degrees apart. I've used it a couple of times and it worked fine but this problem suddenly arose and I can`t figure out what`s causing it. I`ve tried a few different files with the same result and I've also tried repairing the videopad app from the uninstall menu. Any help would be much appreciated.
