VobSub: Is it Compatible With 64-Bit Win 7?

Postby jdanniel » Sat May 22, 2010 5:46 am

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.

Does this help?


I'm afraid it doesn't address the question I originally asked, about 64-bit software or VobSub.

This is all about embedding subtitles, which is a concept I clearly do not understand, and am frustrated by it.

I've tried numerous programs, including some that were recommended on this forum. I'm not grasping the concept.

Because of a lack of success with VobSub, I went looking for other tools that might work. I found something called XMedia Recode.

I'm still at a loss. It supposedly deals with subtitles without external or additional programs, but when I load the VOB files, and go into the Subtitle tab, the only options in the STREAM list are NONE and UNKNOWN. I can't figure out why there isn't an option for ENGLISH, or what to do about it.

Even if I merge several VOB files into one, for the purpose of converting to XVid, the issue is still subtitles. I really, really need help with that aspect of this process.

I think Brad (DeafBug) has been looking into subtitles for quite some time, maybe he will drop by with some recommendations for you :)

That's true. But he was having difficulty too and as he didn't post back about whether he had cracked the problem or not it may remain an issue(?).
