I am trying to convert Pan's Labyrinth into a playable video file via MeGUI. As it is a movie voiced in Spanish, I wanted the English subtitles. I ripped it using DVD Decrypter, and also had it write out a chapter list in OGG format. I used MeGUI to create the D2V file and the AVS file. I also used the Vobsubber tool in MeGUI to create a .sub and .idx file for the English subtitles.
At first, I encoded the video using x264 in the MP4 container format and the audio into ND AAC. Then I used the MP4 muxer in MeGUI to mux the video, audio, chapters list, and subtites. The video and audio are fine, but I couldn't get the subtitles to appear. I was watching in WMP11, but I have Haali Media Splitter installed and had the subtitles box checked. I also downloaded Media Player Classic from sourceforge, but the subtitle option was greyed out as if there weren't any subtitles in the MP4 file. Then I read somewhere that MP4 containers don't support VobSub subtitles, so I decided just to put it in a MKV container instead. This is where I run into a problem.
When I try to mux the MP4 video file, the MP4 audio file, the chapter list, and the subtitles using the MKV muxer in MeGUI, I get the following error:
mkvmerge.exe - Unable To Locate Component
This application has failed to start because pcrecpp.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
I searched Google by "pcrecpp.dll" and it seems this is not a very common file at all and many of the references were right here at doom9. I also searched my C:\ drive, which contains my applications and Windows, and I was unable to locate the file pcrecpp.dll.
I tried processing the video again, putting it in a MKV container from the start instead of MP4, but this made no difference. I seem to be completely unable to mux into MKV. Does anyone have any idea what might cause this?
Here is my log. It acts like it completes ok, but it completes instantaneously, and the file I selected for output is not created.
