bug converting .avi file

Postby paulgottlieb » 04 Apr 2019 23:45

when I try to convert a 2-hour .avi file to .mp4, VLAN processes to the end of the file and then gives me the message "The output file already exists. If recording continues the file will be overwritten and it's contents will be lost." I can then click on "Overwrite" or "Keep Existing File" But if I click "Keep existing file" the message just repeats forever. If I click "Overwrite" the program begins converting the file again from the start! Either way, I lose! I am running Ver 3.0.6 Vetinari

Hi, do you have the "loop" mode activated ?

Good point! I'll check. This may be embarrassing!

I don't know how the loop button got clicked, since I never use that feature, but that is the answer. As usual, the answer is: User Error! Problem solved.
Now my question is how do I mark this solved?
