I have used Virtual dun with Subtitler for months to hard code subs in English
Everythng fine
Then I wanted to hard code Thai subtitles
Problems with Thai fonts
So downloaded AVI Recomp and the software came with Viruak Dub Mod
This software was great for Thai hard code
Then went back to use Virtual Dub to hard code English subs and the compression function won't work Error message 1
Tried different files same result won't compress
Help

instead of hard-coding subs in the video file (which a lot of people hate), why not create .SRT (subtitle) files to go with it instead?

Maybe whatever he's playing it back on can't handle external subs?

Anyhow....


Error 1 - not very descriptive
Giving the full error message would be good
Giving details like the codec selected, frame sizes and fps would be better as well

Without these it's a guess

So, guess 1 is
The video doesn't fit what the codec is expecting

Causes
The width or height isn't a multiple of 8 (or 4 for some codecs)
The heigh, width or fps are higher than the codecs selected profile
eg if divx home theatre is selected, then the max sizes are 720*480 @ 29.97 fps, or 720*540 @25 fps

Those are just guesses though
If you want better answers, give better descriptions - you wouldn't go to a doctors and just say "I hurt" would you
