Export Hangs/Stalls upon second attempt onwards

... It stalls indefinitely, videopad doesn't freeze though. If export is cancelled, everything will seem fine until you try to close videopad, of which it prompts for export cancellation confirmation (of which had already been cancelled). Oddly enough, it works fine when the video is exported the first time round. The second attempt onwards however, this problem occurs.

Edit: to add, it won't matter if i try exporting to mp4 or any other format, the result is still the same. I am using Win10, just recently updated to the new 1903 features <--- maybe this had something to do with it, not sure. Have more than enough disk space, cache set to clear upon exit.

Let's take a look. Share your project. Here's how: http://nch.invisionzone.com/topic/23659-tips-for-getting-help-on-this-forum/

Be sure to FILE|SAVE PORTABLE PROJECT AS, not simply as Save Project. If content is sensitive, link it to me in a personal message via the envelope at the top of this forum.

zip with Mediainfo.txt and DxDiag:

Thanks a bunch for checking.

As delivered with the project, the file is silent. Upload the raw file please. Is this the project that freezes?

audze

The files i am currently working on are all silent. every single project i tried freezes (at 2nd attempt) during the export process atm.

They are all mean't to be silent overlays for "tarot" cards at https://audze.itch.io/voss (very sorry for the plug).

Exported the download your provided at 1920 X 1080P to AVI, Mp4 and WEBM. All were successful in VP version 7.25.

Also took several passes at the suggested 320 x 480 AVI settings. Again, a quick export with no problems.

Same Windows 10 version running here.

Open an empty Videopad instance, then clear Unused Cache Files, under OPTIONS|DISK menu. Load the project. Any better?

trying to close videopad now throws an error:

yep, same issue. If it's working fine at your end, it must be a problem on my side. no idea what is causing the whole thing tho.

Interestingly, if i rename the source file and redo everything, it will export fine, but will freeze again at the second attempt. if you folks can help me figure this out, it would be much appreciated 🙂

Vista PC . VP 7.25 Your files exported OK here too. (Track 1 and Track 2 with identical clip and FX) Export was 320 x 468 Crop and Zoom avi. VP closed normally. If you still have your setup file (and registration code) I would suggest uninstalling VP completely (inc data) and reinstalling. See if that has any effect on the outcome.

Alright, i will try that and get back.

OK, this is interesting. Whatever that is causing this issue seems to be Lagarith Lossless Codec.

A fresh install and registration of Videopad works ok.

Issue starts to relapse when i reinstalled Lagarith Lossless Codec for avi export.

Folks, is there a way for me to export as a lossless avi for handbrake?

(to make it 5g IPod compatible - for IPhone/IPad compatibility for safari browsers, don't ask, pain in the rear.)

The current Videopad setup doesn't allow me to do lossless export and kept prompting file is not suitable for that.

borate

Lossless export specifics are listed here. If the project doesn't meet those specs you're likely out of luck.

Alright, thanks folks, for checking 🙂

Edit: for anyone in the future that comes across this thread and have the same problem do this:

Everytime you need to export your file with Lagarith or MSU Lossless from an old vpf file, export it first using MJPEG Compressor (this comes with Videopad).

This for some reason doesn't cause any subsequent attempts with lossless codec export to jam. No clue why, but it works! 🙂
