AutoGK cannot find d2v

Dear all fellow AutoGK lovers,

I've been trying AutoGK testing HDTV to XviD for the last couple of days and all went perfect. All of a sudden, last night encodes have all gone crazy.

Searched the forum but it seems that many of you had the problem with log file not been found.

Any help is much appreciated. I tried reinstalling AutoGK to no avail.

Cheers,

Edit 1: AutoGK creates these two files -IA=3 -FO=0 -YR=1 -DRC=0 -DSD=0 -DSA=0 -TN=1 -OM=1 -OF= T01 DELAY 0ms.avi
and -IA=3 -FO=0 -YR=1 -DRC=0 -DSD=0 -DSA=0 -TN=1 -OM=1 -OF=.d2v which I haven't seen before.

Edit 2: Found exact problem here http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=70766 in 2004. But no solution.

Edit 3: It turns out that AutoGK or DGIndex didn't like my scene release type naming pattern. :D
Renamed hope-&-faith.s02e22.a-room-of-one's-own.mpg to a much simpler name hope.mpg and all working great.

I think the & in the filenames is the problem.

I think the & in the filenames is the problem.
Or the "-" or -'- or whatever non-windoz compliant char (or is it non-dos?)

Did

[McoreD]

according-to-jim.s05e08.the-dream.avi did fine and I too guess it is the & or ' :)

[McoreD]

Just to confirm it was indeed the &.
' and - are fine.
