Sylia Script Error

[Joe_Bloggs]

As far as I know i have the latest GKnot and VirualdubMod. I check every day and download if I am out of date.
I get the error, Member audio2 not found, when using GordianKnot to recode from digital TV mp2 to divx5.05. (after ds.jar demultiplex and succesful TMPGEnc mpegtools multiplex).
If I edit Lastjob.vcf in my Gordian Knot folder and take out with //
all references to audio2 then I can use virtualdubmod to do the original job as intended via job control. It is a minor bug but, irritating as I have turned off audio processing in Gordian Knot in the first place.
I know the answer lies in the interpretation of the .vcf file. Perhaps the old interpretation of .vcf files lingers on despite uninstalling the previous version of VirtualDubMod.

[len0x]

please state exactly which versions of GK and vdubmod are you using...
It seems to me you're trying to use latest GK with VDubMod 1.4.xxx that won't work. Install latest full rippack instead.

*edit*
actually I meant GK 0.28 and latest VDubMod, sorry

[Joe_Bloggs]

I am trying to use Gordian Knot 0.28 beta2 and VirtualDubMod 1.5.1.1.a. What I end up using is unclear. It appears that numerous programs are generating scripts but non of them are leaving behind version details in these scripts. The names used for these scripts tend to be re-used so a history of what worked and what did not becomes difficult to fathom.
So put the version of whatever it is in your error message.Perhaps even the directory from where configuration files were used.
PS the log file was of the Gordian Knot session was terse to the point of being useless. However I would recomend Gordian Knot to all of my friends as I know it can work flawlessly.

Now that I think of it - "audio2" was used in 0.28
Since then we moved to new VDubMod and now you cannot actually download just exe of later versions. We have full rippack 0.28.3 and 0.28.4 update, which has to be installed fully.
Please update to 0.28.4 and try again.
(coz physically this version of GK cannot produce script with "audio2" in it...)

Joe,

If nothing else, please copy and paste the _Gknot.log here for review.

I think you will find the file useless. Maybe the problem lies
elsewhere. Perhaps it is a matter of what is allready installed affecting what should be installed. I am running W2K and would only
use XP if someone paid me to be a guinie pig.
I should say that the last log file is 1 Minute of news from the BBC which I enjoy paying for. It does not carry ads but it did a very entertaining job of SuperBike and Moto GP racing with Tennis by an
obvious android, Roddick (Serve 149MPH!).
Don't loose sleep or hair, as I fixed my problem in my original post.:o

[len0x]

as I said - try using latest GK (0.28.4)

[Joe_Bloggs]

I downloaded Gknot 0.28.3 and patched to 0.28.4 and everything works. Especially as it comes with its own copy of VirtualdubMod 1.5.1.1a build 1215.
I was using VirtualDubMod 1.5.1.1a build 1639 which I obtained from doom9 in the file:- VirtualDubMod_1_5_1_1a_all_inclusive.zip. There is nothing wrong with either file as both work with GordianKnot 0.28.4
Thanks for your advice.
