CPU usage becomes 100% while using VideoPad

At first I thought it was just my netbook because of the low specs but when I tried with my other machine it still hits 100% cpu usage. I was only editing 2 pics to merge or place on top of my 3min video, and I hit a very high CPU usage.

Just a thought..... Do your video files show as a thumbnail or an icon when you open a folder? I have recently activated the K-Lite codec pack and opted to show all the mpeg files as thumbnails, as it is easier to see which is which. It may be just a coincidence but with a folder full of clips it takes quite a time to to display them and VP just pretty well stops when a couple are loaded and edited. The processor usage now goes up to 100%.

On my system running Vista, this does seem to have been the cause. Having re-set Windows explorer to show only icons instead of thumbnails VP edits the clips with no problems.... Just done a 30 min video with the same clips and there were no stoppages or delays.

The problem now is to find a Windows setting that lets me see thumbnails for images but icons for movie files... :angry:

Is there one???

"Is there one???

Well not without messing in the registry it seems, but by unloading the codec pack and then re-running it I can de-select all the video formats so none show as thumbnails, and by un-ticking the Windows explorer setting "Always show icons, never thumbnails" everything is back to normal.

(Just in case anybody has problems like this)

When you say to unload the codec pack and then re-run it..... how do I do this?

He means unistall K-lite like you would any Windows program and when you re-install it, you can select different options. His last step was within the Windows file explorer itself (on Vista, XP's option is different)
