NCH is stripping the video

HelpingSaveHumanity

Hi there,

Please help.

I've tried multiple times & I even updated.

NCH is stripping the video portion of the video. It's only giving me audio.

The file is too big to upload to Odysee, so I have to run it thru videopad because it's too large to run thru the converters online. The video was blank, only the audio.

I even DLed it from YT again & same thing. It plays on VLC with no issues.

Help. 🙁

Thanks

List the URL for the YouTube download and we'll check it out in Videopad.

Or share the file that you have downloaded...

Upload the file/s to a free server, such as Google Drive or MS OneDrive, right-click the link and Share or Copy. Copy the result and paste it here or to me in a Private Message via the mail envelope in the top-right corner of this forum. When using Google Drive, click SHARE | SHARE and change "restricted" to "anyone with link can view.**

Ok, here's the YT URL https://youtu.be/WpMc6-dMd_A & here's the URL for the video I DLed - https://workdrive.zohoexternal.com/external/7564c911fbf9bc76dea9780ceff910120717adb323177999e8f8428463bed9d5

Did a screen capture that looked just fine in Videopad.

Suspect that the issue is with your YT downloader. If it has different encoder options, test them. Or use another app.

You could also try to run the file through this free utility, which may re-encode it acceptably for VP. But a file of that size could take a long time to process.

HelpingSaveHumanity

Yeh, but did you play it?

I already used 2 different ways to DL that file LOL & now just two more.

This time the video did show up, BUT it's flickering now on both new versions, and when I play one it in VLC, it's fine, so it's got to do with videopad.

I'm on Win 7 so handbrake won't let me DL. I went to get an old version on this page (the first one) & I also had problems. https://handbrake.fr/old.php

Thanks

Have to see your downloaded file. Share it. Load the downloaded file into Handbrake, then convert it.

HelpingSaveHumanity

I told you handbrake isn't working on my computer & I explained why, although it should since that version is supposed to work on 7. I can't even run the .exe file. I'll try again to export the files.

On zoho I uploaded the 2 videos that I downloaded from Telegram on 2 different bots. This is the one that is flashing - The Sad Reality of Dog Food-YT Download Bot on TG

Here's a screen recording - https://mega.nz/file/Z1MzRRzR#Kx2IUTc3jZC4kzIBj40W1dUeyH6cjFT0CC6Xx650lIs

That 4K, 1GB file does indeed give VP fits. It does well with the two smaller files at your download link, all of which were inadvertently overlooked earlier. Apologies.

A report has been filed. Tested in another editing program, the file loads - as audio only - so there's something odd about that YT-grabbed file.

Use the 17.07 64-bit version. Consider working with the lower resolution file.

HelpingSaveHumanity

Ok, I tested the 1080 version & it works on Odysee, so I'll use that one.

Not sure what VP fits means LOL, I assume it's the flickering.

Yeh, no clue with the odd YT file. It doesn't happen often, but sometimes it does.

I managed to find the right version of the handbrake & got it downloaded, but I have no clue how to use it LOL

So there is a bug in NCH, is that what you were saying?

Thanks a ton

Not an NCH bug.

After analysis word came down that the file used AV1, a newer encoding for some YouTube files. It isn't supported directly by several editors, but may load successfully in VP, if very slowly, on some PCs. Recall my mention of another editing program that treats the file as audio only. The issue is being studied.

If available, try a different encoder when downloading, or a different downloader. Or even a screen video capture.

As for Handbrake, launch it, then click Open Video File. Select the file. After it loads, click the Start Encode button. The default result is a 1080 file.

"Fits" referred to the file being a problem for Videopad to play.☺️

I don't have tons of downloaders. I use IDM, clipgrab and 2 bots on Telegram. I couldn't even find a good site that would DL it when you told me to use a different one to DL.

What do you use?

I hope most channels don't start using that & yes, I told you that I was only getting audio, not the video.

I don't have time to do screen capture. I need to work on my computer all the time & I watch videos that can be upto 10 hours since I'm studying the Truth.

Thanks for your help, & I hope NCH tweaks it to work with these videos.

Thanks, but I avoid YT & all things related to goolag as much as I can.

There's other ways to DL videos from there.

Thanks

Hi there,

This is a completely different video & again it's flashing in NCH, but not when I watch it on BC. Here's the BC link https://old.bitchute.com/video/xslZPQwJgPy8/ & I uploaded the video to the NCH folder.

The flashing - https://mega.nz/file/U1VgAJwR#75dBOgaiufZXLI-6QhVr0229Kpz77ani2vOQnDtcbx4

I haven't exported it yet to see if it will flash in the finished export.

Grabbed the 854x480 resolution file from your server, and it played normally in VP 17.07 (64), as did the earlier project's smaller file. Not a flicker in sight.

Confirm that the PC's video driver and Direct-X are current...
