Hi all, I'm fairly new to VideoPad and I had loaded up an MKV video which comes with a separate .ass file for the subtitles. I have no problems importing the MKV file and is able to play it within VideoPad but when I drag the video file towards the bottom of the screen [Video Track 1] and click on the Subtitles on the tools on top, a new window pops up which allows me to: Add, Auto Generate, Load, Save etc etc. I then tried to Load the .ass file that's located within the same folder of the MKV file but to no avail. It just gives me an error of ' Could not open the subtitles file. ' Is there any possible fix for this or am I loading the .ass file wrongly? I tried using VLC to test if the .ass file is faulty but it works fine there, so I think it's just an exclusive error to VideoPad. If there's anyone experienced with VideoPad that can assist me, that would be nice, thanks in advance. edit: I also tried it with another MKV file with another .ass file which also gave me the same error.
