Windows Video Editor

Windows 10 Home downloaded early 2020 to my laptop.

I have used the built in Video Editor program to create a 15 minute file comprising short video clips plus photo stills.

When I save the file it will only save as a .vpb file but I need it to be an MP4 file that I can view on other pc`s and mobile phones.

I have tried both save options within the program, Finish video and export, and Backup project, but neither give me the option of changing output to MP4.

Can someone please help?

 

How do I Remove Video Editor and Connect?

Video Editor is part of Photos, I'm not sure you can just remove that and leave Photos in place.

For newer apps not yet listed in the tutorial, see Step 4 to find out the names of all the app packages, then you'll know the names to use in Powershell.

 

720P still outputs 1080P

Tried that in Extended Desktop mode. I set both display 1 and display to to 720. But the video tester confirmed the actual HDMI output was still 1080p.

I tried in Duplicate (mirror) mode ( 1|2) and even though the screen said 720p the actual output was 1080p.

Gave up as show time was approaching and used the Neo 1 tester as a format conversion device.

I realize the first matrix connected to this laptop was capable of 1080, but some of the other upstream equipment is not. When a user "requests" 720p the graphics system needs to respect that regardless of what HDMI thinks might be best.
