My problem I described in my previous post was on my old XP machine. I've been using SW with Vista Home Premium 32-bit for about 6 months with no problems, on probably a few dozen titles at least.

Thank doubt that it's a Vista compatibility problem. Has anyone else ever encountered this problem? Could anyone suggest a solution or direct me where to focus my attention? I have installed it completely with all addons. Is it possible I do not have ffdshow configured properly. What I don't understand is what is happening with ffdshow. I have used Subtitle Workshop hundreds of times successfully and it very seldom that I encounter these problems. I had previously tried Subtitle Workshop 4 Beta 1, but preferred using v2.51, however I noticed a new Beta release (4b2) so downloaded and tried this hoping it might work. Thinking that I possibly had a corrupted installation of either ffdshow or Subtitle Workshop, I downloaded the lastest version of both, removed the current installations, and reinstalled.

What I have noticed with these files are a large number of ffdshow instances opening in my task bar sometimes a half dozen each for audio and video.

I've looked using AVI2Clipboard and GSpot at the files that work vs those that don't, but I can't seem to see anything unique about the files that do not play. I've tried resaving the srt files (thinking there might be something in it that is corrupted) and have even tried recompressing the video, but usually it still doesn't play. Other times they won't even play period, yet still fine in external players. I can sometimes open these stubborn videos from within Subtitle Workshop without the subtitles (Movie>Open) and they will play, but when I load the subtitles they don't. The video plays OK in VLC and Media Player. Occasionally I load a subtitle (srt) but when the video is loaded it does not play. I've been using Subtitle Workshop for a couple years and find it very helpful.
