Subtitle Edit won't let me choose a video engine












1















I'm using Subtitle Edit to make subtitles for a video, it is supposed to let the user choose between several video engines, one of them is VLC. I can only choose DirectShow since the other options are disabled. I have installed the latest version of both programs and the LAV splitters, nothing seems to be working. I'd appreciate some help.



OS: Win 7

VLC: 2.2.4

SubEdit:3.2

          Is your computer 32-bit or 64-bit? You must install the VLC version equivalent to your computer. If it still doesn't work, reinstall VLC. I had to reinstall VLC 64-bit version twice to make it work.

          The problem could be that you have installed it under c:programfiles or some directory that has read/write issues.



          If you install Subedit under a "normal" folder, things starts to work as supposed.
