    Yesterday i used VirtualDub and TMPEGenc to convert Xvid to MPG(vcd)
    Because i had to put my chinese subtitle into the MPG video,so i used
    VirtualDub's Frameserver to do it,But the process suddenly stopped, the frameserver did not transfer any frame to TMPEG anymore,and my whole computer system performace was slowdown.
    So, where the problem was ?? i met this problem before,but i couldn't figure out the problems.... Bad frame.....subtitle corrupted ..or something. someone help ???

    If the movie had been corrupted VirtualDub would have given you some warnings.
    But the problem of VirtualDub is thet it adds subtitle BEFORE the resizing, so you have either a too small subtitle (which font do you put in SSA converter?) either a good sized subtitle that, due to the fact that the subtitle is put on the movie when it was 'large', it exceeds the video.
    My proposal is: install VobSub and call the subtitle (when it was still in SRT form) 'Movie.SRT' putting it in the 'Movie.AVI' directory.
    After that, when you load the AVI with TMPGenc the subtitle is automatically added (the righ font / distance from the bottom border can be put by using the 'Preview' TMPGenc command (in DirectVobSub Configure you can select all subtitle's aspects).

    VobSub has the good aspect that by default the 'Override Placement' checkbox is ON and , the the font is large, the subtitle is split in more lines.

    I really don't know why VirtualDub is so slow. But you can try this method... Good luck.
