Trouble frameserving with V-dub and TMPG

[j2dafo]

I'm trying to add subtitles to an avi file in virtualdub [v. 1.5.4 and 1.3] and framserve to TMPG. i've read the guides on doing both, but run into the same problem every time once i try to open the .vdr file in TMPG. I have tried naming it movie.vdr.avi and just movie.vdr and movie.avi, but TMPG always gives the error, cannot open or file is unsupported. I've followed the guides completely. I am using demo version of TMPG, is that the problem? I'd really like to figure this out. Just adding the subtitles in V-dub and saving as an AVI file gives a blurry result, but that's a different topic. Thanks for the help.

run tmpeg, select option,select enviromental settings,
select the VFAPI plugin tab.
set the "direct show multimedia file reader" to priority 1.
(you just right click on it and select higher priority until its 1)

it should help.

thanks, but i already tried that and checked again to make sure it was at "1", still no luck. worth a shot though. any other advice? thanks

Hi,
have you run auxsetup from vdub's dir and "install handler" for frame client support? (I have vdub 1.4d and it works fine with tmpg)

instead of 'movie.vdr.avi try 'movie.avi.vdr'

Works for me

Thanks again, but didn't seem to help. i'll try once more from scratch [uninstall and reinstall handler, etc.]
