'Can't open log file' error in GK

[snooper601]

Hi Guys,

Just upgraded my PC to XP Pro from 98, clean install. Now when I try to rip a DVD I get the following error at the end of the first pass.

10:50:35: Started DivX5-First Pass: D:\Documents and Settings\John\My Documents\DIVX DVD rips\coupling 2-1 - The Man With Two Legs.avs

11:39:00: Now encoding at 1501 k(=1000)Bits/s

The movie comes out at just over 100Mb and is really bad quality.

I can still rip OK with my laptop, XP Home, but I need to fix this on my main home machine.

Have I made some dumb mistake when I re-installed everything?

Cheers

PS Check this series out, Coupling, I have never laughed so much for ages :o)

Hi and welcome to the forum-

Try and open up Virtual Dub and go Video-Compression and check to see if the DivX5 codec is there.

1. If it's not there, try and re-install it.
2. If you installed DivX5 first and afterwards installed GKnot (mistake), then try and re-install DivX5.
3. If you installed DivX4 during the GKnot install (mistake), try and get rid of it, and then re-install DivX5.
4. If worse come to worst, then go to the Options Tab of Gknot and Delete Registry Keys, and then delete the GKnot folder. Then re-install GKnot (without DivX4) and its updates, followed by DivX5.

Hi Manono,

Step 1 fixed it!

I think that I installed DivX 5 first, say RED backwards John :o(

Thanks for the help, must get back to ripping again ;o)

Look for Coupling on KaZaa and you will be amused!
