first Gordian Knot 0.21b encode

[divx_encode]

I completed my first Gordian Knot 0.21b encode and I am very impressed with the results. Thanks to the people who recommended this program, and Thanks to the creators of this awesome program. Now I just need to learn how to chop it in two files for 2 disks.

But I have a more important question that I would like some feedback on. After my encode was complete, it gave me 2 separate avi files, one approximately 1.20 gigabytes (With NO SOUND) and the other file was approximately 1.30 gigabytes (With Sound)

Is this normal when we use 2pass Gordian Knot 0.21b with divX 4.11 codec?

The descriptions on the two files are below, please tell me if this is normal for 2 pass or if I might have did something wrong.

yes i would say that normal.. it just Gknot encoded the avi without sound then muxed sound into the avi file with produced your second with sound.. So just delete the first one that has no sound and you are good to go. but i would run through the second one to make sure audio sync and everything is right before deleting the other one to be on the safe side.

Thanks for the help, I really do like the quality that Gknot produces and it only took approx 6 hours to complete. As opposed to 4 hours that FlaskMpeg took, but that "wasn't" 2 pass. So 2 hours more is well worth it for these results in 2 pass.

I also tried to split the file while using my old prog called AVI chop and found out that it didn't work. Next time I will use the ndub or vdub to split the file, which looks pretty basic. I'm just glad that I'm able to complete the encode sucessfully.

BTW, what is the difference between an AVS and an AVI file?

[Schultz]

and AVI file is an actual file with the video and audio in it.. the AVS file is a AviSynth file that frameserves the video into VirtualDub/Nandub which what one you want.. the avs don't actually contain a video.. open it in Notepad and you can see what it is exactly.. just a text file with some commands that the avisynth.dll works with.
