not a valid dvd2avi project

[Aqa]

I’m using Gknot 0.28.5 After I have ripped the movie I use DVD2AVI 1.76 to create the dvd2avi project file(.d2v) but fore some reason Gknot wont open it, it keeps giving me the same error message “File is not a valid dvd2avi project(v1.76),avi or avs file” if I load the project from dvd2avi it opens just fine. I did read the Dvd2avi Faq but that didn’t give me any answers, so any help would be apriciated thanks

O yeah I wasent realy sure if I was supposed to post this in the dvd2avi forum or here but anyway if im wrong then im sorry!

Sorry guys my Bad! Just had to put the new MPEG2Dec3.dll in the avisynth plugin dir. well at least i now know that you have to “ think before posting “

I think this should not happen in the later versions of GK where you're given a proper error message saying that mpeg2dec3.dll is not found...

Yes, I'm having this trouble too and for several months now.

I have DVD2AVI 1.76 (modded by dvd2svcd 1.05), GKnot 0.25.3, latest AVIsynth (forgot which version) but I continuously get error messages that say: "Invalid .d2v file".

I have both mpeg2dec3.dll in my avisynth directory and the GKnot directory folder but that didn't solve the problem. Using an older version of GKnot solves the problem (ver. 0.23 I think) but I want to use the newer ones.

Which version of GK did you day it was ? 0.28.5.3 or 0.28.3 ?
And which version of mpeg2dec3.dll are u using ?

Alright, now that I'm home I can give you the correct version numbers.

Currently on my system I have:
- DVD2AVI = ver. 1.76 by LOLI J, modified by dvd2svcd 1.05
- Gordian Knot = ver. 0.28.2 beta
- AVISynth = ver. 2.52
- mpeg2dec3.dll = ver. 1.0.0.0 (this is what XP gives me when I right click on the file, then Properties -> Version)

And I'm trying to get GKnot 0.28.5.3 Beta working on my machine.

Hope that helps.

OK, first make sure that you install full RipPack of 0.28.5 - all versions above that require some tools from that pack...
(in particular a specific version of mpeg2dec3.dll)
