I would say to trace back your actions to understand what you did to make AVStoDVD unworkable... but I am sure you have already done it (have you?
).
Quick workaround could be to uninstall AVStoDVD, saying to remove registry entries, and then reinstall it.
A suggestion: before starting your project, use the 'Preview Clip' feat: if preview works, 99.9% the project will work too.
@trabanom
what AVStoDVD release are you using? If your subs are in srt UTF-8 format, latest release (2.3.0) correctly handles that format, preserving special chars. If you are already using 2.3.0 and/or your subs are not srt, then send me the subs file (avstodvd@gmail.com).
