The fix is petty simple. VARS is designed to to talk to a database server, if you're just using the download from
http://vars.sourceforge.net/ there's a database server included; it just needs to be started. In the VARS\bin directory you'll find a script named derbystart (or derbystart.bat on Windows). Just run that before running any of the other VARS programs.

Hi Julie,
You don't have to enter anything; just double click on the derystart.bat file...that's it! When the command window is open it means that the database is up and running. When you close the window, you're killing the database program.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for your reply ! but I still don't understand how I can run it...when I try to open derbystrat.bat a screen appears (I join the print screen of what appears) I get that I have to enter "jdbc:derby://localhost:1527/VARS;user=varsuser;password=vars0sourceforge" somewhere but I don't know where...I tried in a command prompt (I don't know if that's that word in english...) and I also join the result...The problem is I don't know if that's what I had to do and if that works because when I open annotation.bat the widow which opens is not exactly the same than the one shown in the guideline...icons miss like "file" "edit" "view" "help" etc and I don't get how to start the application...
thanks again
Julie

Hi Julie,
You don't need to have a timecode track. VARS will use the runtime of the video (i.e. elapsed time since the start of the video) as a timecode if no timecode track is found. If you want to add a timecode track I have a command line program, named 'addtimecodetrack' to add one. 'addtimecodetrack' only runs on Mac computers though.
Cheers
Brian
