error message when adding SSA. file to virtual dub

[fredsieg1937]

I have encountered the following problem when trying to add subtitles to an avi file with virtual dub:

After adding the subtitler filter to video dub and the relevant video file, I get the following message when trying to load the SSA file to the subtitler: "The application or DLL. (name of file) SSA. is not a valid windows image. Please check installation disk". I have tried the process with three different SSA. files converted from SRT; the result was the same.

I would be grateful for a solution.

Things to be considered:

--- what version of VirtualDub you're using;

--- are those SSA files fully-compliant with the specifications?

--- other "subtitle filters" than VSFilter.dll are not very-reliable IMO.
