source image format not acceptable

[Imaboyo]

Im having a serious problem with Auto Gordian Knot (2.27) and after searching and trying some of the fixes pointed out on this forum i haven't been able to resove it.

All of a sudden, sometime in the last week, every time i try to create a DivX (V6.2.2) movie, VirtualDubMod (V1.5.4.1) gives the error message "Video compression error: The source image format is not acceptable. (error code -2)"

As i mentioned, i have looked around past threads and tried: changing the registry string HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32\vidc.yv12 to "divx.dll"
Using (non-auto) Gordian Knot and setting the 1st and nth pass settings in Divx settings, detailed here (http://forum.doom9.org/showpost.php?p=635025&postcount=41)
I am completely lost and if anyone has any ideas i would really appreciate hearing them. Thanks.

Can you post the GSpot info of the file you're trying to encode?

[Imaboyo]

The file VirtualDubMod is trying to use when it fails is THE_MATRIX_comptest.avsLoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\AUTOGO~1\DGMPGDec\DGDecode.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\AUTOGO~1\filters\autocrop.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\AUTOGO~1\filters\ColorMatrix.dll")
LoadPlugin("C:\PROGRA~1\AUTOGO~1\filters\RemoveGrainSSE3.dll")

movie = mpeg2source("C:\THE_MATRIX\VIDEO_TS\agk_tmp\THE_MATRIX.d2v")
cropclip = autocrop(movie,mode=0,wmultof=4,hmultof=4,samples=10,aspect=0,threshold=34,samplestartframe=0,leftadd=0,rightadd=0,topadd=0,bottomadd=0)
fixed_aspect = 1.42222222222222
c_width = width(cropclip)
c_height = round(height(cropclip) / fixed_aspect)
input_par = float(c_width)/float(c_height)
input_par = (input_par > 1.4) || (input_par < 1.25) ? input_par : (4.0/3.0)
out_width = 640
out_height = round(float(out_width) / input_par)
hmod = out_height - (floor(out_height / 16 ) * 16)
out_height = (hmod > 4) ? (out_height + (16 - hmod)) : (out_height - hmod)
new_aspect = (float(out_width) / float(out_height)) / fixed_aspect
autocrop(movie,mode=0,wmultof=4,hmultof=4,samples=10,aspect=new_aspect,threshold=34,samplestartframe=0,leftadd=0,rightadd=0,topadd=0,bottomadd=0)
LanczosResize(out_width,out_height)
RemoveGrain(mode=2)
ColorMatrix("Rec.709->Rec.601",opt=0,hints=false)
SelectRangeEvery(280,14)Im not sure which file you would like the GSpot information for, because this problem occurs before the avi is created.

If it is THE_MATRIX_comptest.avi (only 10k), dixv and xvid claim to be able to process it but directshow fails with "DirectShow was unable to render the file. Following is the error it reported: 0x80040111: [unknown]"

[Imaboyo]

Also since my first post was made, the registry key mentioned above has changed to "xvidvfw.dll", even though i never use xvid for playback or encoding.

I'm having just the very same problem, using both Xvid and DivX. This never occurred to me before. AGK has been working just fine for me so far.

I should add that since the last time AGK run successfully, I installed and run (a couple of times) "Ace Registry Cleaner Utility". But since I'm no expert, I choose the safe default mode - is it anyway dangerous?

I'd really appreciate any kind of help, I really need to fix this.
Thanks in advance.

[loulou]

Tryed again and:
Xvid is working fine.
When I try DivX codecs I'm still getting the same error. I have DivX Pro 6.2.2, is that supported by AGK? I checked the FAQ and it says "as for 2,.." - sorry, can't figure out what it means.

Hope you can help, thanks.

Hi,

Can you play your problematics .avs in MPC or in VirtualDubMod ?
If not something may be screwed up in you AGK install...
You can try a proper and complete (delete manually the directories) uninstall and reinstall of nothing more, nothing less than the AGK package.

Also the complete AGK log (copy/paste) may be useful as could the GSpot report on your source (the matrix dvd?)

Xvid is working fine.
When I try DivX codecs I'm still getting the same error. I have DivX Pro 6.2.2, is that supported by AGK?..
From main thread:
"VERSION HISTORY
2.27
- fixed compatibility with DivX 6.1.x"
Nothing new since then, up to you to test newer Divx versions...

@Imaboyo
Can you play your problematics .avs in MPC or in VirtualDubMod ?
If not something may be screwed up in you AGK install...

If your .avs can play and your divx not encode, maybe same problem as loulou.
If .avs cannot play see second part of my previous post: try uninstall/reinstall (clean).

[loulou]

Thank you Big Did!

Now I was just wondering (forgive me if this is a bit off topic):
is there a way to have DivX 6.2.2 installed on pc in order to watch videos and at the same time "tell" to agk: "use 6.1"?

I'll check the developing area to see what's going on about DivX updates into agk, and see if I'm able to experiment this new feature.

[BigDid]

I wish I could have been more helpful.
