Problem with log file in gknot

[Dr. Nick]

Hello Everybody!!
(The forum responds): Hi Dr. Nick!!

First of all, Doom don't bust my ass, I searched the site and found nothing that helped my problem....and yes i read the rules! No disrespect intended!

Anyhow, after the first pass in gnot using divx4.12 codec, the program pseudo-freezes. Say's opening log file...and thats it, it never happends and never goes on to the next pass. I checked my settings and confirmed that the log file should be saved to the same drive/folder and my vob, d2v, ac-3, avs files but when i go to that location after the the first pass (and when it is searching for log file) there is no logfile there. No wonder it wouldent open it.

I guess my question is why is it not saving a log file for me, and if it did, would it be of the name "...movie.log?" or "...movie.avs" or will it be saved in a text document. If i knew this then i could do the two passes separatly and manually select my log file!

Any help would be cool

in the divx 4.xx options screen you have to set the location of the log file. default location is c:\divx.log.

Yeah, like i said, i checked the path of the log file and it is that of all the other files i created thus far...i keep them all in the same folder.

and you load this log for the second pass in the divx options?

I'm having the same problem. I know my *.log files open in Wordpad by default. Could this be the problem and with which program should the log files be opened?
