new GK uses only VirtualDubMod, and not VirtualDub !

[len0x]

People have a lots of errors about log files not being found.
Please make sure that you're using VDubMod, instead of VirtualDub.
(I actually changed the lables to not confuse ppl - will be pubslished in the alpha 5)

P.S. can we make it sticky please.

How do I setup GKnot to use VDubMod? I have VDubMod installed in my GKnot directory.

[len0x]

the message about log file is a bit misleading (I'll change that)
The problems is that GK is not using that file anymore,
but rather vdenc.log (/log option of VDubMod)

Check output directory for that file and if it is not there - you are not using correct version of VirtualDubMod.

If the file is there then we need to investigate a bit further...

[Colyptic]

I know in my case, if I use VirtualDubMod.exe GKnot crashes, and always has when doing comp checks. Renaming VirtualDubMod.exe to VrtualDub.exe solved it. I read it somewhere on this forum a few months ago, worth a try

[goweropolis]

I am using VDubMod 1.4.13.2v2 & GKnot 0.28 alpha 5. There is no log file in the output directory. Am I using the wrong version of something?

I tried renaming VDubMod and I still get the error message "Log file not found. Unable to get compressibility value." I think maybe I'm not cut out to be an alpha tester! Maybe I'll wait until the next beta version or something.

Do you see the progress of comp check when VDubMod is started?
If it just disappears after you press "Now" ?
(Well, try opening LastCompCheck.avs with VirtualDubMod directly and you'll see...)

[binky the stunt cat]

and am i doing something wrong to be getting some dll missing messages.

[snowman386]

VDubmod was working fine. Now I keep getting dll errors. libjpeg.dll is just one of the few that cannot be found anywhere. Any ideas?

[Rash]

Lenox, I see the message right after I press "Now" button, I mean, it won't even load the VirtualDubMod. I've installed it on a folder called VirtualDubMod on GordianKnot main folder. I'm using the latest version (1.4.13) available on their page. Thanks for your help. ;)

Snowman, you must download the VDubMod dlls to make it work.

won't load, or won't process avs (it happens very quickly but you still able to see window opening an closing) ?

p.s. make sure that path settings are correct in the GK setting...

[Rash]

Won't load, I think. On GK 0.27 it used to happen here (my fault) and I could see the VirtualDub window opening and closing real fast. Here I can't see this window.

[len0x]

interesting, which OS you're using ?

[Rash]

I'm using WindowsXP SP1.
When I install GordianKnot 0.28 do I have to reinstall the SystemPack? Because, as far as I remember, that's the only thing I haven't done. Well, I unzipped 0.28 over 0.27 (and I had syspack on it) so I thought it might work. :)

[len0x]

you don't have to reinstall anything, just unzip,
install AVS 2.5, install VirtualDubMod
and make sure that settinhs are correct in GK (path to vdubmod and "use alternative mpeg2dec.dll")

[Redin]

ATTENTION: If you need people know learn use VirtualDubMod instead VirtualDub, its necessary modify a file "GK_NSInstaller_Scripts_and_Binaries_0_27.zip" because in a folder "RipPack" is only a VirtualDub.
---------

Now...

---------

I had a problem with my GK_0.28 (alpha) @8 but i had resolve with a files comme with them. If i replace old files comming with GK 0.27 with a new come with GK_0.28 @8, comp check is ok, because of "decomb.dll".

But i had see a new problem about a sutitles. With a new VirtualDubMod, VobSub is not recognize them. I need use both VirtualDub to resolve this, but still have a problem wen i tried make divx with subtitles included im a movie file. I Can not make subtitles. What appening, please?

Thanks.

[len0x]

Din't quite get it - what's the problem with subs ?

Right now they have to be loaded only within GK (checkbox for subs should be enabled) by using VSFilter which is new YV12 plugin for VobSub. You have to have avisynth 2.5 + _ALL_ dlls from the zip file unpacked into GK folder...

[snowman386]

Whenever I try to encode a file, I get the error "video source avi error:The source image file is not acceptable. (error code -2)"

[Redin]

len0x

My problem with subs is a new alpha versions do not work with subs.
With a new avisynth 2.5 the file *.avs created is visible a command like this:

#
# Created with Gordian Knot
#
# http://gknot.doom9.org
#
# PLUGINS
LoadPlugin("D:\PROGRA~1\GORDIA~1\mpeg2dec3.dll")
LoadPlugin("D:\PROGRA~1\GORDIA~1\VSFilter.dll")
#
# SOURCE
mpeg2source("E:\ES_106353\VIDEO_TS\teste.d2v")
#
# CROPPING
crop(2,14,716,548)
#
# SUBTITLES
VobSub("E:\ES_106353\VIDEO_TS\VTS_01_0")
#
# RESIZING
LanczosResize(640,336)

...but in "Preview window" and after finalized video encode, the result is not sucefully. I can not view any subtitle.

...by other ands, when i install a "VobSub", he ask-me to a VirtualDub folder, but it not acept a "VirtualDubMod". Only recognize a past "VirtualDub".

Wats appening please?
Thanks.

[len0x]

avs seems fine.
Almost the same avs works here for me when I just open it in VDubMod
(I never tried preview, may be problem is there)

If there are no subs, then -
a) there are no subs
b) they were not indexed properly by VobSub (I assume you'retrying to load *.sub, not text subs...)

[Redin]

Hi len0x

Sorry, my mistake.

I had tried to use a part of *.vob to acelerate my teste, but *.ifo file has include all subs. All first seconds/minuts of part cuted is not text included.

After many testes, i have modify a teste mode, and applicate all *.vob and consequente all *.ifo to result a correct *.idx and a correct *.sub

A question is now make to please answer-me.
Whow can i make *.idx and/or *.sub only a part of movie?
It's because i acelerate the testes.
Any solution, please?

Thanks and sorry to my mistake. (and my inglish lang)

Been there myself :) was about to suggest invetsigating this, but you already did...
I don't know how to solve this (but for testing you can just rip first CEL or two, so it will have proper subs...)

I get the same thing. Unfortunately my knowledge of all this stuff is very limited :confused:, and I'd wait for a beta, but I'm sick of changing between 5.0.3 for viewing and 5.0.2 for encoding with GK 0.27. In the meantime I'm using VirtualDub for encoding with 0.28 and muxing the audio afterwards with VirtualDubMod. Seems to work :D. What info do I need to post to help out fixing this? Im using everything as recommended on WinXP SP1.

I have the same problem.
I use VirtualDubMod and testing with a new GK alpha 11, and codec divx5.0.4.

Next first pass a error appear like this:

"VirtualDub Error" (note: it say only VirtualDub, but not VirtualDubMod, i think some internal instructions call a old VirtualDub)
Cannot start video compression:
The corce image format is not aceptable. (error code -2)

Thanks

[len0x]

Are you talking about AVI source, rather than d2v ?

p.s. the only way virtualdub will be used is when it is being set in the settings (no internal calls to Vdub in GK now...)

[Redin]

len0x

I do not anderstand very well what you say, but what i mean, is ...

Opening d2vavi file (project file) in GK console, and put it working in a "Save & Encode" window, use divx5.0.4 both passes, give-me that error. Now i tried to make same experience with divx5.0.3.

Waiting for my results...

Another questions about GK.
a) In original version GK 0.27 is an "Options" - "DivX Default Settings" a marker to assinalate with "Use Pro Features". What i ask is... if a new GK 0.28 are the same option to use my DivX Pro or is not?

b) I see a profiles by default is not marked. Thats necessary use it or not?

Thanks again.

a) now GK works with every version of codec. So if you want to use advanced features you press a button to pop up codec settings and will see them on the last tab of divx5 configuration... (you can save them as default preferences on Options tab of the main window...)

b) what's profiles ?

[binky the stunt cat]

i'm guessing the error message about the "libpng13.dll" being missing is a problem on my system then? (yes, i've extracted the two dll packs to the dir)

[Suiryc]

@binky:

FAQ (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=44244)

This Dll is needed by AviSynth 2.5.x, you have to install AviSynth 2.5.1 (latest version, you can find the installer on their home page) and then replace the AviSynth.dll in the system directory by the one modified by Belgabor (seems like you use this file otherwise you shouldn't get the errors you have).

len0x

Now i know whats appening with my discriptions related in "quote" above.

The error and problem is caused about a modifications in a log suggested in a Codec window. (Tab "Bitrate control"-"Multipass encoding files"-"read/write log files")
_The same file name is necessary use to the second pass. If log file is diferent as the first pass, the error is ocourre.

Now: its all OK. I use alfa 14, divx 5.0.4 and my testes is for now ok. For split CD i need ripping about some couple hours to decide a result.

Thanks again.
