"Super resolution upscaling " gone / missing in export settings? Solved! (Windows version 13.x)

[Dangerfreak]

Version 13.x has a nice feature called "super resolution upscaling". You can select it in the export file settings (see this screenshot: https://imgbox.com/tudCjDXz ). 

I tried to check it out and installed an older videopad version, just to have to a comparison. Suddenly the checkbox for super resolution upscaling was gone in the export settings (in version 13.x)!

Luckily I found the reason for it, the old videopad version changed the windows registry! To turn on super resolution upscaling again, you have to change the "SVar" value (see registry screenshot below). Among other data, you'll find a four-letter word there, either "Puxd" or "Puxp". "Puxd" means super resolution is available, "Puxp" means it's turned off. So just change "Puxp" to "Puxd".

If both words are missing, super resolution also is off. In this case, add the word "Puxd" to the SVar data.

Here is the screenshot of the registry settings: https://imgbox.com/QxIxAiYb

I hope this will be helpful in one form or another 🙂 .

Simply reinstall Videopad (no need to download).  May take a number of attempts.

Each time that's done there can be slight variability in features and operation.  This is a marketing thing.

Messing with the registry is not advised.

I tried that before... it didn't work for me 😞. No hard feelings, I know you said this many times before ("slight variability in features"), but installing the same version over and over never changed anything for me (concerning other problems), I don't know why. That's why I was searching for a reliable solution.

Perhaps you weren't persistent enough. 🙂  Having that feature vanish took five reinstalls here.

Some beta features don't make the cut, and are unavailable in later releases.  Others become permanent.

Five reinstalls? Ok, you're right, I don't have the patience for that  🤣🤣🤣 !
