Subtitle Edit won't let me choose a video engine

Question

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

Solution

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.
