SSA Troubleshooting


Issues Opening SSA Files

VirtualDub Disappeared

You attempt to load your SSA file and get an error such as "%%os%% Can't Open The SSA File Extension". Customarily, this means that VirtualDub is not installed on %%os%%. You won't be able to double-click to open your SSA because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


Tip: Another SSA-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.


Wrong Version of VirtualDub is Installed

In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a Sub Station Alpha Subtitle File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Visit the Open Source website to download (or purchase) the latest version of VirtualDub. Most of the time your Sub Station Alpha Subtitle File file was created by a newer VirtualDub than what you have installed.


Tip: If you right-click on your SSA file, then select "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), you can obtain hints about what version you need.


Regardless, most of the SSA file opening problems relate to not having the right version of VirtualDub installed.


Associated Difficulties Loading SSA Files

Errors opening Sub Station Alpha Subtitle File files can still occur even with the latest VirtualDub software installed on your computer. If you are continuing to have errors with loading SSA files, other external issues might be to blame. Issues that aren't software-related:

  • Corrupt Windows Registry file path references for SSA
  • The SSA file description within the Windows Registry was removed
  • Partial installation of VirtualDub that did not fully complete
  • Something has caused file corruption of your SSA
  • SSA file integrity has been compromised by malware
  • Hardware related to SSAs has device driver corruption
  • Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the Sub Station Alpha Subtitle File format
