Hi all,

I've used Gordian Knot in the past, but it wasn't until recently that I've wanted to start creating Divx, (and really h.264) files again. So I updated to the new 3.5 version and went through all the tutorials. Everything went fine, but when I try to encode, I get this error message:

Avisynth Open Failure:
LoadPlugin: unable to load "C:\PROGRA~1\GORDIA~1\UnDot.dll"
(C:\Program Files\Divx\Movies\DVD\Projects\THE_PRINCESS_BRIDE_VTS_01_PGC1\THE_PRINCESS_BRIDE_Credits.avs, line 9)

I get the same error for each subsequent frame server and the encode fails.

Any idea what could be wrong? (I couldn't find the same error when I searched the forum for "Avisynth Open Failure UnDot.dll", so if I'm repeating information, I apologize.)

Try emptying your plugins directory. Also, always post the full script and not just the line where *you* think the issue is.

You're missing the Undot.dll, get it from http://www.avisynth.org/warpenterprises/ and put it into your AviSynth plugin folder (default Program Files\AviSynth 2.5\plugins).

Your avisynth plugin path setting is invalid in GK (it's changed in GK quite a long time ago, but you might still have previous settings). Delete its registry keys an you shoud be fine.

Thanks, that was the problem, I had old registry keys, and I didn't notice the AviSynth plugins directory at the bottom there. When I updated it everything worked swimingly. Thanks for the prompt replies, I love your program! :thanks:
