Hi everyone.
I’m dabbling with AviDemux and VobSub right now. I’m trying to convert a DVD that’s on my hard drive to XVid format, and get subtitles embedded into the AVI file.
I figured out how to get AviDemux to convert the DVD to AVI format, but the problem is VobSub. It’s apparently not being recognized by AviDemux. When I click the Filters button, nothing at all happens.
When I go into the Start menu and open up the listing for VobSub, I click the VobSub Configure menu option, and get a warning box:
“There was a problem starting VobSub.dll. The specified module cannot be located.”
The same thing happens for each listing in the VobSub start menu folder.
I’m wondering if VobSub cannot be recognized due to its age. From what I read, the latest release is from 2002. That’s ancient, in computer years!
I’m running a 64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium. Is it possible VobSub isn’t even compatible with 64-bit software? Is there any way for me to get VobSub running on my system?
People on this site have recommended I use SUPER and Virtual Dub, but so far, I haven’t met with any success with anything I try. It is most likely due to my not understanding what to do, but is it possible things aren’t working properly due to my using a 64-bit system?
If I cannot use VobSub with AviDemux, then is there a substitute subtitle filter that might work just as effectively, which is compatible with 64-bit Windows 7?
Thank you! Jd
PS: Formatting my hard drive and returning to a 32-bit version of Windows 7 is not an option I'm willing to entertain at this point in time.
