Hi

I was wondering if anyone has come across a subtitle problem using 1.1.0 b1a where when I've selected the "RIP SUBTITLES" option it comes back with a "List index out of bounds (3)" error message.

The other problem is related to the "Movie Information(IMDB)" option. On the previous versions (i think 1.0.9 and earlier) I was ale to get through an authenticated web proxy server to get to IMDB for the movie info. Now I get the following error message.

"windows socket error: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond (10060), on API 'connect'"

Finally, a question regarind size prediction. I noticed that TMPGENC using the CQ mode sometimes cannot predict the size very well. Can I assume that using a 3 pass VBR mode (CCE) I can get a m ore accurate size?

Hello!
I can only answer your last question: Using multipass with CCE (2 or more passes), you can exactly define the average bitrate, so you can exactly predict the filesize, too. It will also bring better results for SVCD than using TMPGEnc CQ.
