Process in use by other process?

[Styles2304]

I can't remember the exact wording but after about 2 hours of processing the .vob files with AutoGK it gives me an error that says something along the lines of "Error, Could not open (dvdname).avi. Process is being used by other process.

I thought it was weird that it said process twice. Does anyone know how I fix this? Also, I've been using this program VERY successfully for awhile now. I recently bought a new hard drive and re-installed all my dvd back up stuff. This error only started happening then.

Thanks in advance for any help I get.

Welcome to the forum Styles. To receive the most accurate answer to your problem, it may be beneficial to also be able to see exactly where in the processing this has occurred. Could you please post your log file - enclose it in CODE tags.

Also, had you viewed / opened any of the files in the temporary directory (agk_tmp) during the processing - as this may explain the issue ?

No, I haven't opened anything during the process. Usually, I turn on AutoGK and then just leave while it runs the jobs I have setup.

I note that your input file is VTS_01_1.VOB. Whenever I've processed DVD's - whether ripped in File or IFO mode in DVD-Decrypter the log always shows VTS_01_0.IFO as the input file (corresponding to the one I chose when setting up the process).

I'm only a beginner with AGK - only used it since 2.16 beta, and never used the stable 1.96 version you are using so that may explain the difference.

If you decide to try it with chosing the IFO as the input (assuming you're not already), you may need to temporarily rename the VTS_01_0.VOB as I believe that earlier versions (incl stable 1.96) don't ignore the menu vob, therefore would include any video from it in your project.

Someone with expert knowledge will probably be along and can provide more insight to your problem.

I suggest updating AutoGK to the latest one and posting a log from it (there are just too many changes since 1.96)

[Styles2304]

Well, I tried . . . but It won't let me download it. It says it's forbidden.

:readfaq: Q 0

[Styles2304]

I don't even know how to do that . . . I'm workin' on it though

[Styles2304]

I just thought I would go ahead and post the EXACT error message:

FastWriteStream" couldn't open "C:\HGGONND1\VTS_01_1.avi": This process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process ..

[len0x]

Q 6.16 of FAQ then...

[Styles2304]

Hahaha yeah that did it. Way to make me feel retarded for not properly searching the faq. Thanks though, you saved me ALOT of time and frustration!
