Problem with opening log files

[Akolite]

This problem is baffling me. When i encode a movie, it opens all the correct programs but doesnt do anything. By this I mean that it opens it 4 the credits and finishes it in about 2 seconds. This happens 2 all the encodes (first and second pass) It cant open the log file 4 the second pass because it wasnt created on the first pass. I have replicated this error on a few of my friends pc's. It seems 2 be intermittent.

My compression test doesnt work either. It gives me a divx 4 error in the log file. But the previous movie that worked (just yesterday) didnt have a working compression test. But now this movie wont work (Yesterday as well).

I've reinstalled gknot and divx 5 in the correct order but no luck.

I am open to suggestions

Help...please!

As this was covered in a couple of threads only yesterday ... you may have seen it, but I'll net it out here:[list=a] One reason for codec failure can be incorrect resolution. Be sure your resolutions are divisible by 4.
You can confirm if it is an .avs script error or codec error by opening the script in a preview. If it fails to open, it is an .avs problem.[/list=a] You might post your log and your .avs script if you need further help.

Here's the log file. Dnt know if i'm looking in the correct place, but all the resolutions that I can find are divisible by 4.

its a Problem of *.avs and divx 5 Codec both

i stiil dont know the causes but i could make it work by this:

1 - open Vdub and go to Video --> Compression then choose Divx 5 Codec on the left and click on Configure to get into DivX 5 menu

here you have to specify the new log File and new MV File , pay attention they will be directly on drive C: Example: C:/divx.log

2 - delete this Gknot Projekt and make new one with the same settings

try it

PS: sorry for bad english ;)

[Akolite]

OK. so 4 clarity sake, i must first open the *.avs file and then do what u said?

I will try this. Shot 4 the help.
