why substation alpha cant open *.wav?

i want to make karaoke subtitle in ssa, but i cant open my wav file although i have covert it into 8-hz & mono in viturldub. the error message is "invalid wav" what can i do covert my wav let ssa access? where can i find more ssa help document from internet?

Just make sure the wav file you created really is 8-bit mono PCM wave file. (Like by opening it in winamp, and see the info about the file, or opening it with CoolEdit) In VirtualDub, make sure you set "Full Processing Mode" for the audio, set the proper conversion (8-bit mono, with any sampling), and do NOT set any compression. Personally, I've never had any problem with it.

thank you very much,i will try again after work.

i was fail again ,i have no choice to gave up ssa!!! this is wav in winamp file info(i cant post img): file:"D:\zz2.wav" PCM,44100 hz,1 channel(s),8 bits per sample length:2:48 God help me, why always error in ssa, but many people say its good soft.

Ah, yes, there's one more thing I remember : If nothing else, put your PC's locale to English (U.S. or Canada... shouldn't matter). System language can remain what you have already. (info taken from - kudos to Liisachan - The article says "not to have 'Japanese' as locale. I'm not sure exactly which locales work and which don't.)

try XombieSub :) if you search the forum, you'll surely find a link ;)

THANK'S A LOT @ SYLF,PEN-PEN THANKS FOR YOUR WARMHEARTED! I learn a lot knowledge from your helpness, i will make efforts to solve this problem.

Handles only SRT subs so far, but after doing the proper timing you can use SSA to convert the SRT subs into SSA. Of course, that way there is no syllable highlighting possible, like with SSA ...

hahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!! In the very lot of helpness from so many warmhearted subfans in this forum, i find this important problem,a very very big bug in SSA, IT JUST SUPPORTS "LOCAL IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE"! quote from SYLF: ---------------------------------------------------------------- Ah, yes, there's one more thing I remember : If nothing else, put your PC's locale to English (U.S. or Canada... shouldn't matter).

The author of SSA is verrrrrrrrrrrrrry abnormal.
