VirtualDubMod & Gordian Knot

[Pendra]

I try to use Gordian Knot 0.27 and VirtualDubMod and avisynth 2.5.
The only way to make VirtualDubMod work is to use

VirtualDubMod_1_4_11_1 renaming VirtualDubMod.exe in VirtualDub.exe

I think that from VirtualDubMod_1_4_11_2 the jobs are written in

VirtualDubMod.jobs instead of VirtualDub.jobs

and so there is no way for the new release!!!!

[jcsston]

There is a newer version of VirtualDubMOD that provides a workaround for GKnot users.

[VirtualDubMod 1.4.13.1]
- The default jobs file name is now based on the .exe name, which means that if you rename VirtualDubMod.exe in VirtualDub.exe then the default jobs file will become VirtualDub.jobs instead of VirtualDubMod.jobs [2].
[2] Note for GordianKnot users : this is a workaround for current versions of GKnot which uses
only the VirtualDub.jobs file in batch mode. To be able to use GKnot as usual you just need
to rename VirtualDubMod.exe in VirtualDub.exe

You are already doing this but the newer versions should work

[Suiryc]

Please use the latest version (with bug fixes) provided on our SourceForge page.
The latest official release (1.4.13.1) were supposed to work properly with GKnot but some changes related to the LAN mods make VDubMod crash in specific cases (GKnot calling VirtualDub for job processing being one of those cases). This has been fixed meanwhile and is included in a bug/fix version ...

[Pendra]

what I have dene:

downloaded

1) AviSynthLexer_0_1.zip
2) VirtualDubMod_1_4_13_1.zip
3) VirtualDubMod_needed_DLLs_251102.zip
4) virtualdubmod_needed_dlls_301002.zip
5) VirtualDubMod_291202.zip

unzipped everithing in a directory called VirtualDub
renamed VirtualDubMod.exe in VirtualDub.exe

deleted VirtualdDub under Gordian and moved the new one...

But it does not work.

The same process works only with VirtualDubMod_1_4_11_1.zip no other versions!!!!!!!!

[Belgabor]

You only need the latest dll package.

Could you elaborate a bit on 'It does not work'. The statement as such doesnt help very much pinpointing the error. (Aka doesn't it start, crash, etc.)

Are you sure you have put all the dlls in the same directory as the exe file?

Cheers
Belgabor

Tomorrow I will try everything from scratch.
I will post the Gordian log file.

Thanks

Ok What I do is unzip in one single folder (called VirtualDub):

1) VirtualDubMod_1_4_13_1.zip
2) AviSynthLexer_0_1.zip
3) virtualdubmod_needed_dlls_301002.zip
4) VirtualDubMod_070103.zip

Than I rename only VirtualDubMod.exe to VirtualDub.exe.
At the end i substitute the folder under Gordian with mine.

I start an encoding with Gordian and I receive this message:
"Specified bitrate is too low for this clip. Minimum possible bitrate for the clip is 0 kbps. Overriding user-specified value"

Sorry for the long message. I hope that this can halp.

P.S. Just to remember that with VirtualDubMod_1_4_11_1.zip is OK.

[Pendra]

Just to know : some news?

[drwe_1600]

Hi there. I had the same problem as you. I could not get the modified version to work, nor could I find any help. If you just revert back to the original version (.27) of Gordian Knot with the original Virtual Dub, it should work fine. I had a few problem but then I downloaded the C++ libraries update and that seemed to fix everything. Good luck.

[Suiryc]

ok I think this bug will be fixed now (not yet commited in the CVS).

[Belgabor]

New bugfix version is out which (hopefully) now works with gknot.

[Pendra]

I try VirtualDubMod_170103.zip and now is OK!!!!

Thank you very much for your work.

[cjaar]

@balgobor...

The same here,did few testing with vdub latest pacth works in gknot..

Thansk for the great progy

Newbie question:

The new features of VirtualDubMod are great, but from an integration apsect with Gordian Knot, what featuress can it use?? Doesn't GKnot need to be changed to access additional functions?

Robert

[Belgabor]

If you setup things correctly, this combination can compress in YV12 colorspace without needing to change GKnot.

>If you setup things correctly, this combination can compress in YV12 >colorspace without needing to change GKnot.

what setups need to be done.... can u explain a bit more..

Thanks
cj

[Belgabor]

Have a look at the YV12 FAQ in the avisynth forum first. It pretty much sums it up. If you have further questions try to browse the avisynth forum or ask again

[ookzDVD]

Yes, latest VirtualDubMod.exe 17012003 finally work with GKnot
perfectly. and with change optional MPEG2DEC.DLL setting from the GKnot setting finally it works with YV12

Cool! Now for us newbies, maybe the TheWEF can include that in the next GKnot release with the appropriate filters!
