Subtitle Workshop Freezing when Moving Cursor

[gonwk]

Hi folks,

My laptop runs on Vista Home Prem., SP2. I have ffdshow 1.3.4530 installed.

I have been using Subtitle Workshop 2.52 (20111219) successfully to correct Subtitles for my MKV files. But today I tried using it ... and it works just fine except when I drag the Cursor bar to certain location and I push start ... the video will NOT playback, then when I start it from beginning it plays again, but I want to be able to go to different timelines and Sync things quickly, rather than sit through 2 hours of a movie just to fix Subtitles.

So, I thought may be updating my ffdshow might do the trick, so I upgraded to ffdshow 1.3.4531 still same problem.

I tried to use the newer Subtitle Workshop 6.0b and the same problem.

Q1: Can anyone tell me what might be the possible fix for my problem?

Thanks,

G!

Try subtitle edit.

Yes, try a different application, as johns0 suggested.

"Something" has screwed your setup, this is all I can say for the time being.

FWIW, ffdshow is not an MKV splitter --- but LAV Splitter and Haali are.

Hi johns0 & El Heggunte,

Thank you both for the tips.

@ johns0, I think long time ago I tried Subtitle Edit and for some reason I did not like it or didn't work for me ... can't remember what it was ... that is why I stuck with Subtitle Workshop ...

@ El Heggunte, I re-installed the latest Haali Matroska Splitter and it seems it fixed my problem ...

When I ran the install I unticked the Option to disable Matroska in MPC and something else that it asked me.

Q1: If I install LAV Splitters also, will it Conflict with Haali or the ffdshow stuff?

Thanks again,

G!

That's good

It depends If you have LAV Splitter, then there is no point in having Haali (and vice-versa). I prefer LAV Splitter to Haali, because this latter caused a lot of problems to me in a not-so-distant past PERHAPS it has become less problematic during the latest revisions, but... In summary, Haali was/¿is? "good-enough" for MKV files, however it did suck at MP4s, AVIs, MPGs and transport streams... LAV Splitter has improved a lot since its birth, and now it probably can do everything that only Haali could do (regarding MKV files especifically) until some years ago.

Also, at least Haali's installer is terribly-outdated --- what's the point of *disabling MPC's Matroska Splitter* nowadays
The year is 2014, not 2004

Hi El Heggunte,

Thanks for the explanation on LAV Splitter.
