I tried encoding into divx5 with the subtitle filter. I do 2 passes so I use the job list to do it. When I started it, it just turned from 'Waiting' to 'Error' with no explanation. I am on full processing mode. I saved the .jobs file and can paste it in here if anyone thinks that information can be helpful. I am sure you need more information but I don't know what else to add!

Does it happen only when you apply the subtitle filter?

--------------------
Use the Matroska file format

Double-click on the job with Error status to see what the error was.

It only happens with the subtitle filter.

Here's the error:

Cannot start filter 'subtitler': Original subtitling Y
resoluton is unreasonably small

Because you use "subtitler" filter, you have to use ssa (SubStation Alpha) subtitle file.

Check your ssa file. Somewhere near beginning you have to have line like

Style: Default,Arial,50,65535,65535,65535,-2147483640,-1,0,1,3,0,2,30,30,30,0,0

This line defines font and font size for subtitles. In the example above font is "Arial" and font size "50". Check the number after font name, it is probably too small.

The line originally said 18, so I changed to:

Style: Default,Arial,50,&Hffffff,&H00ffff,&H000000,&H000000,-1,0,1,2,3,2,20,20,20,0,1

But it gave me the same error.

Which value do you use for the SAA parameter PlayResY in the script? It should be the Y-size of your video e.g. 576 for DV-PAL or 480 for DV-NTSC.
