I've been using VirtualDub to burn subtitles in XviD-movies for years now. Until recently I did so on an old PC under Windows XP. Unfortunately that one broke down and I had to replace it. And unfortunately the new PC came equipped with Vista x64. So far that crappy OS has only presented me with problem after problem. This is the latest one:
When I try to re-encode a downloaded XviD (doesn't matter which one I try, I always get the same problem) VirtualDub stops working after encoding only a couple of frames (total estimated duration goes towards infinity). I'm running the latest VDub (1.9.7), which should work fine on both x86 and x64 operating systems, according to the VDub homepage. I also have the latest ffdshow and stable XviD-codec installed (according to this site). The problem also persists when I try to encode with "No Audio" selected, and also if I don't select a subtitle, so those are not the causes of the problem either.
Seeing as I have no previous experience with Vista nor 64-bit operating systems I'm guessing I must have screwed up in some way, but ofcourse I have no idea what this screw-up might be.
I've already tried running VDub in Windows XP compatibility-mode, but that didn't work either.
Also, to be clear, I'm not having any issues when playing XviD-movies, only when encoding them in VDub.
If I need special 64-bit codecs, perhaps someone could point me in the right direction (no codec-packs please, as 99% of the codecs inside these packs are completely redundant and it has been my experience that these packs always lead to problems in the long run).
In case this is relevant, I have a Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 CPU. If you need any additional info, please let me know.
Thanks in advance for any info you might be able to provide!
