Re: ConvertXtoDVD 7 not burning

As was said, it's the source file. More than half of the files found online are generally corrupt in some manner. You could try to see if you can fix it with a free piece of software called AVIDeMux. Load the file in that and choose a different Video option other than Copy like say x264. You may wan...

Re: Save Project as "Maj" key?

Yes, there's something like only 2 programmers working at VSO right now. So, development is slow and priorities have shifted elsewhere. In a different post I made, the roadmap reply was that VSO Downloader development was the main concentration. Then, once the latest ConvertXToHD, I think it was, wa...

Re: Save Project as "Maj" key?

Thanks!


Should that Maj be changed to Shift since the rest of the English installation is in English?

Save Project as "Maj" key?

The keyboard shortcut for Save Project as is "Maj+CTRL+S." What is the Maj key? I don't think I've ever heard of that before in my entire 30 years of using a PC.


Thanks!

Re: Input File Location

Except for the first time default, CXD will always look in the folder you last used as an input source. If that folder doesn't exist, then I think it defaults back to its first time default. Which, again I think, is the Documents folder. So, to achieve what you want, I think all you can really do is...

Re: cutting a movie

I think I understand enough to try what you're getting. I used the latest beta, 7.0.0.73, and loaded a near 90 minute MP4 source file. I then Cut it down to the first 10 minutes only, trimming the rest from the 10 minute mark to the end. I then Cut again the first 2 minutes from the beginning, leavi...

Re: cutting a movie

Is the "latest version" 7.0.0.69 or the latest beta version? If it's the former, you might want to try to see if installing the latest beta version helps. If it's the latest beta version, try reversing those directions.

Re: converts colour to black and white video

Generally when I've seen color playing back as black and white, that's been my experience of attempting to play PAL video on my NTSC TV. However, the video is also unwatchable as it's all wavy, like those old scrambled cable channels from the 1980's and 90's like Cinemax. That shouldn't be the case ...

Re: ConvertxToDVD Frames Per Second FPS slow

Have you tried updating to 7.0.0.69, the last gold release or tried the 7.0.0.73 beta version? There are reasons to stay on older 7.x versions, though. For instance, there's an audio out of sync issue on menus in some of the newer versions.

Re: Output file size estimation

Not really. Often times, when CXD says it will require a DVD-9, the resulting generated VIDEO_TS fits on a DVD-5. Now, I've been meaning to experiment with this (Just thought about it this morning, actually.), but I think there's a way to tell CXD to make an output VIDEO_TS of X size somewhere in th...

CXD development abandoned?

Has development on CXD been abandoned? It's been like 3 years since the last 7.x beta and like 2 years since it was announced version 8 would be coming "soon." I realize COVID has come along since then and I think there was talk that there were only a handful of coders who could work on CX...

Re: Write success at try #2

They do make 8x DVD+RW, but they are only made by Ritek. So, sometimes compatibility problems arise. Best to stick to 4x. And they used to make 6x DVD-RW, but I don't think you can find that anymore. Memorex is a bit weird. They're like Verbatim. Both will use Mitsubishi (MKM), the best optical disc...

Re: files not showing in left hand window pane , files not showing.

AVIDeMux? Are you sure you got the right thing? It's free. Did you try to get it from the Microsoft Store? The Microsoft Store version is not the official one. Don't give them your money. The software is free.

Re: files not showing in left hand window pane , files not showing.

Is this repeatable or just on a few files? If it's just a few files, it could be the input source files are "corrupt" or not authored correctly. CXD will sometimes silently fail on input. If this is repeatable over time, then someone more tech savvy with the software will have to chime in....

Have you always used the same DVD+R DL or have you switched to different ones? Also, what kind DVD+R DL are you using? Verbatim Life Series? (NOT DataLife Plus.) If you're using pretty much anything other Verbatim DataLife Plus (NOT Life Serires.) DVD+R DL, you will generally regret it, either with ...

Re: Remove root menu in the Episodes in Template TV Series

I believe the Audio and Subtitles are only accessible within the child menu of each Title. I don't believe there's a way to put such buttons on the main menu. However, when playing the DVD, if you change the audio or subtitle tracks on one Title's menu, it makes the change universal until you change...

I would also try a test conversion of just the one episode you said wasn't processing on its 2nd pass. You appeared to indicate the other 3 or 4 episodes did process on its 2nd pass. If it fails on just that one episode, you could try various things, but I'd first try converting that one episode to ...

Re: I'm looking for some VHS to DVD converter advice, any subreddits that could help with that?

To answer the first part of your question, it depends on how you're recording the VHS tape to DVD. Around 20 years ago, Panasonic released the first DVD Video Recorder. It and subsequent manufacturers and models had different video quality settings you could use. VHS quality meant you could record 2...
