Want subtitles but just jumps straight to "Finished."

[mudger]

I have a .AVI file that I am trying to BURN subtitles onto. When I press encode it just jumps straight to finished and nothing happens. I'd like to note that I also cannot PREVIEW.

Encoding started on Sat Feb 2 14:55:21 PST 2008

[Case]

Possibly there is something wrong with mplayer. Have you tried installing mplayer again?

ffmpegX has two Preview buttons. The one in the top-right corner is to preview what already has been encoded (while the encoding is busy). The one in the bottom-right corner of the Filters tab is to preview (with the chosen settings) before encoding.

This one I haven't seen before.
