GK 0.32 - File is not valid avi, d2v or avs file!

[dwrbudr]

I've installed a fresh copy of GK 0.32beta.
Before that I've uninstalled 0.28, delete all reg settings I've found.. I also uninstalled AviSynth 2.5.4.. rebooted and installed after that GK 0.32.
I've tried to open over 20 different AVI files with the same error:

GK 0.32 - File is not valid avi, d2v or avs file!

What next?

P.S: I installed GK 0.32 on my brother's PC - It was the first GK installation there... oh yeah, the same error.

What kind of avi files were they? Have you tried .d2v files as well? Is there the same error? Did you use DGIndex to make the .d2v files (if you tried them)? I've had this problem before, and I couldn't figure it out. After I cursed GK I found out that the image file wasn't loaded:rolleyes: .

I probably can't help you. But if you give more info, maybe others will be able to.

No, I'm trying to open just avi files, movies mostly.

I had the same problem...
I installed AutoGK(last version but also from 1.45) and then I set in the program path of GK,DGIndex to AutoGK->DGIndex(not the default in the same directory of GK) and it works.Try;)

Are you sure that you are using the exact dll in options tab? (dgdecode.dll);)

I have the same problem .. do I need to use dgdecode.dll instead of mpeg2dec3.dll in the "MPEG decoder library" in the option tab of the full (not auto) GK??

I don't already have this dll in the GK folder, why I haven't it after the installation?

Yes, as the latest version of GK uses DGindex coupled with dgdecode.dll.

Thats whay new installation requires un-install of older versions. The directory structure of GK installation is also improved. Hence all together a simple un-install and then re-install will solve your problem.

GK can't open xvid avis, but opens divx ones, I guess your 20 avi files were all xvid. They'll open if you change the 4CC to DivX(I found artifacts), or if you open them through an avs script. It's nothing new.

I'm pretty newbie with this so can u tell me how to open them trough an avs script ?

open notepad
write :
avisource("path to:\...\my movie.avi)

added :D: save the file as filename.avs and it will open in any player like an avi.
