View Full Version : HELP: GKnot 0.28.2 not working...

I've been a user of GKnot since 0.26, using DivX 5.0.2 Pro as the encoder. I've ripped many movies using this setup (up to and including GKnot 0.27). So, I want to try DivX 5.0.5 since I've heard good things about it, but I can't get the new GKnot to work on my system. First, I uninstalled all old programs including GKnot and DivX. I then instaleld in this order:

1. DivX 5.0.5 Pro
2. GKnot 0.28 rip pack
3. GKnot 1.2 codec pack (deselected DivX 5.0.5 since I already had it installed)
4. AviSynth 2.0.8 and plugins
5. GKnot 0.28.2 rip pack update

(all files downloaded from the new GKnot downloads page on SourceForge)

I have configured GKnot and robot4rip as per the current online guide. The movie I am currently working on was pre-ripped to the HD using DVD Decrypter 3.1.0.6. I set up robot4rip as per the guide, and that seems to work fine, no errors or obvious problems (one 128kb/s mp3 vbr audio track, no subs). So, I load my dvd2avi project file into GKnot, set up my encoding settings, again as per the guide. When I start to save/encode, I get an error from VirtualDub:

Avisynth open failure:
LoadPlugin: "C:\PROGRA~1\GORDIA~1\mpeg2dec3.dll" is not an Avisynth 1.0 plugin (F:\DVD\Projects\Abyss_VTS_01_PGC1_VTS_01_PGC1\ABYSS_VTS_01_PGC1_Credits.avs, line 8)

The error repeats for each encoding job (credits, then first pass, then 2nd pass). Then processing stops.

The GKnot log file is pasted at the end of this message. I'm really disappointed here, I don't want to go back to 0.27 + DivX 5.0.2, but I can't get this working. I've tried uninstalling everything, and re-installing again, still same error. Is my installation missing somehting?

My system is P4 1.6GHz, 768MB DDR, i845D, XP Pro SP1.

change your .dll in options to mpeg2dec.dll instead of mpeg2dec3.dll.

mpeg2dec3.dll must be used only with avisynth2.5x.
If you use avisynth2.0x, you must select mpeg2dec.dl as dahuman said.
But why do you use avisynth2.0x? You need it only for filters which do not work with avisynth2.5x.

I'm using AviSynth 2.0.8 because that's what was listed on the GKnot 0.28.2 download page. Should I switch to 2.5x and why?

I changed the .dll reference and it's now encoding, no errors so far. We'll see in a few hours...

this step was unnecessary:
==============================
4. AviSynth 2.0.8 and plugins
==============================

it's only for ppl who have crashes with 2.5.x
I've updated description on SF, so it's not confusing for ppl...

P.S. to get 2.5.x working again reintstall rippack + update
