The video source does not meet the requierments for lossless editing

silent

Hi,

No matter what i do, videopad won't let me export lossless video. I read the criteria from the page videopad sent me to and converted the source video to H.264 and then to mp4, but videopad still gives me the message that the source video does not meet the criteria. Why doesn't it let me export lossless video? is there something else i need to do? Does it have something to do with this criteria? I watched the youtube on exporting but it did not explain loseless exporting.

The output format must match the input format.
Supported formats are .avi, .mkv, .mov, .mp4

How do I control these things?

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to answer!

Thank you for responding. yes, I read it. I cut and pasted some of it in my question. Since it says I need to use mp4 or h.264 I tried converting my files to both these formats and testing lossless export before asking my question because I respect people's time and am grateful for any help.

Since I'm using H.264 and MP4s, why won't it let me use lossless export?

Thanks again!

H264 mp4 files export OK here with VP 8.06.with Lossless export. Have you tried setting the Quality/Lossless Export box to Auto Detect instead?

Thanks for responding, Nationlsolo. I see the options you mentioned if I use the export wizard. I don't see those options is i try to do a lossless export. Thanks for taking the time to help out!
