"illegal stream format "during frame serving with

[jukjak66]

hello guys i really need help from you!i donyt know what to do any more!plleaaaase .
its about the subtitling issue on how to add and to encode it to vcd!
i have tried to do it from virtual dub is all ok then after i start the frame server and open the TMPEG enc and open the video file saved as *.vdr it displays "ILLEGAL STREAM FORMAT"
these is what i did guys!
1. File->Open and open the Video.

2. Select Video->Filter to configure the subtitler filter. I select ´subtitler-----------Avery Lee and press ‘ok’ which opens the ‘Subtitler: Configuration’ window/box and I

3. Open the the created .ssa file that I have made with Sub Station Alpha by clicking on the ... and then press ‘Show preview’ to check that the subtitles appear on the film. When I am sure they do I press ok under ‘Subtitler:Configuration’ which takes me to the ‘Filters’ window/box where I press ok.

4.This brings me back to the Virtualdub Preview where I see one complete screen with no divisions and no subtitles appearing here, yet they appeared under point three.

5. And now it's time to "Frameserve" the Video directly to TMPGEnc. I select Select File->Start Frame Server.

6. A Frame Server Setup window appears, and when I click Start a save window appears, where I Save the file as anything.vdr.

7. And now this window appears, and it says Frameclients installed: AVIFile only, and I don't click on the ‘Stop Serving’.

8. Now it's time to Encode the frameserved video to MPG. I Launch TMPGEnc.
I Open the .vdr by select Files of types: All files and TMPGEnc. Plus 2.5 version 2.57.41.146, core version 1.90.138 informs me “ ILLEGAL STREAM FORMAT.”I get the same message when I add this subtitle to a video and encode to a VCD/SVCD using Virtualdub, Sub Station Alpha and TMPGEnc. TMPGEnc always informs me that it is “ILLEGAL STREAM FORMAT”.

I, personally, have never had luck w/frameserving anything from VDub.
you might want to try avisynth--that worked great for me when I needed to serve w/subs.
