Aplogies if this query isn't in the correct box...it didn't seem to perfectly match elsewhere. I've got a little stumper for anyone and all. I've lately had to change the aspect ratio for a few video files. Using MPEG4modifier 1.4.4 the results are quite satisfactory until I loaded in subtitles and then all chaos breaks loose: MPlayer classic kicks out an ffdhow error that says 'Reconect failed. Please restart video application.' Indeed, it appears that MPC has attempted to open two instances of itself the first of which doesn't play the file and the second which gives the error box. Now, the same modified video file with subtitles loads fine on a stand-alone dvd/divx player and, I repeat, works fine on the comp without the subtitle file. Needless to say, the subtitles loaded fine before the aspect correction as well. Further the problem manifests itself irrespective of encoding parameters (XviD, DivX, open div4, etc). My intuition tells me there might be some incompatibility between mpeg4 modifier and directvobsub. But I haven't a clue as to what. This all is causing hair to be torn from my head. Is there anyone with a solution out there? Thanks so much.
