GKnot 0.22 and Second Pass Problem

[|nemesi|]

Hi, I have upgraded to GKnot 0.22 and when I encode with DivX 4.12 the second pass doesn't start. The previous version, GKnot 0.21b, works fine for me. I have tried many times without any result.
Is this a bug?:confused:

[TheWEF]

what exactly are you trying to do?
post your complete *_gknot.log.

wef.

[ares]

i'm having this exact same problem.

i upgraded to the latest gk, and the latest divx codec, and when i tried encoding something, only the first pass completed (if at all) but then it tries starting the second pass, and it says "attempting to read log file" and that's the end of it..

[X-guy]

Same here :confused:

[TheWEF]

so why don't you post your log-files?
and your avs-file as well...

i just tried 2-pass divx4.12 with gknot 0.22 and here it works fine.

when i try and encode a divx, it starts encoding, and completes the first pass. then it "Attempts to read log file" before starting the second pass, and it just ends. no errors, nothing. it just stops.
but, there's still job info in the queue, yet when i press "encode" or start jobs, it says there are no jobs in queue!

its really startin to get irritatin..

[iron31]

problem with 2nd pass too !:confused:

[SimonT]

Yep, same here, and if you add another job, 2nd pass only, it finishes instantly, and no 2nd pass is done. Anyone got a fix?

[obelix]

Exactly the same here, no second pass. Neither with "both passes" nor with "second pass". Need more logfiles? I deleted mine but will gladly do anoter run.

[Julien100]

exactly the same problem here, i think we have a BIG issue, i was wondering what i did wrong this morning... I now know i ain't dumb ;)

[cult]

same here,I added 2 jobs,none was done,only first pass maybe
Tried again with only 1 job,only 1pass done

[cult]

when I tried to do the 2pass only,godian knot replied me-there is no job queing,add job first,or something og this type,even though that there was a job in the queue...

[OMX2000]

I've got the same problem over here... No error messages... But in the jobs windows it says that there are still jobs in queue, but I cannot start the jobs...
If I start the second pass manually, it works fine...

Me and my friend too. We can't do second pass

[Peters]

Same problem here with Divx 4.12 and the 2nd pass.
But It works with Divx 3.11

[Selur]

Same problem here with GKnot0.22, stops with "attempting to read log file",.. :(

Hi:

I have this exact same problem. I am not expecting to get much help because I don’t have anymore the gnot log file, so I can’t provide TheWef with the data he needs to study this. My problem was that after installing the 0.22 upgrade, Gnot can’t start the second pass when converting the video with divx4. I don’t get any error message, it just sits there saying that is trying to open the log file, but doesn’t do anything. Like I said, I deleted the gnot log file (my mistake), but after the fist time it happened, I opened it I couldn’t find anything wrong. All seemed to be normal until the part where it said that was trying to open the log file made in the first passage.
After some attempts, I uninstalled everything and installed gnot 0.21 beta, and all is perfect again.
My system is: MSI K7T Turbo2 (VIA KT133A), 256 SDRAM Cas2, Athlon XP 1600+, Windows XP wit all the recent upgrades, VIA 4in1 4.37 drivers, Geforce 2 GTS 64 MB with 23.11 drivers (no problems whatsoever), divx 4.12 (I first installed the full gnot package, then installed divx 4.12) and radium mp3 codec, but I use all the gnot audio part (azid and lame).
I now that I shouldn’t have deleted the gnot log file. But I believe this could be a gnot 0.22 bug, because I didn’t have any problems with 0.20 and 0.21.
Thanks for all your help; my faith in gnot remains very high.

so.. to sum it all up.. divx4 2-pass doesn't work (I can sign that.. doesn't work on my system either)... divx3 does, right?

I'll make sure to mention that to TheWef, which btw is absent till the first of January so don't expect a quick fix.

[Zuma]

does it work with divx4.11?
i havent updraded the codec yet.

otherwise i can just rerun the gknot 0.21 patch yeah?

[X-guy]

So what is here to blame? the 4.12? or the new GK patch?
Anyone tried that 4.12 without the patch?

[buckshot23]

I had the same issue then I reinstalled .21b and 4.12 divx worked like a charm. Something is corrupting the log file I think.

[cult]

yes,i had tried 4.12 and gk .21 and it worked fine.have made 4 films whith this :)

[dado023]

i`m doing second pass test right this moment.......
it is at 21%.....wont be long.....keep your fingers crossed
best wishes

[Doom9]

I haven't updated divx to v4.12 on this machine.. gk 0.22 with divx4.11 doesn't work. So it all points to an internal error in gknot.. somehow it can't load the log file even though it's valid. However, if you manually set up the 2nd pass in virtualdub the logfile works just fine so that file can't be at fault. Also.. doing only the 2nd pass in gknot selecting the log file doesn't work either.. still hangs when trying to open the logfile.

well well.. looks like I'm going back to gknot 0.21 for divx4. tomorrow I'm going to try some divx3 in v0.22.

[X-guy]

Divx3 in v0.22 works fine.

[dado023]

My test for second pass finished sucesfully......it works
Ok here is the procedure what i did before the TEST:
install divx4.11, instal gknot .21 full, del reg keys "divx networks",
instal divx4.12, update to gknot .22 and encode...........
I hope this helped

PS: All files in my test were in the same directory while encoding(vobs,ac3,logs,avs...etc)

[Schultz]

I know this don't help anyone really since i don't know why.. but GKnot .22 works just fine with divx 4.12 and two passes. Also just starting the second pass alone with the log file works. i am using Windows XP Pro, with an old PIII 500. Don't know why it works but it does here.. Wonder where the problem is.. Going to try a divx 3.11 rip and then a divx 4.12 again. Also going to try a full movie not just a short clip.

[rui]

Well, i too can convert to divx4 with two passes, but it has to be short clips. When i try to do a full movie, it hangs when trying to open the log file

[ookzDVD]

simple : Divx 3.11 is still my fav. ;)

I'll move to Divx 4.99 someday ;) LOL

[AM Tiainen]

Older Gordian Knot(0.21 beta) work fine with DivX 4.12 so it don't mean that DivX 4.12 cause problem. Problem is from new Gordian Knot 0.22.

Myself happen same problem than what other in this forum say. But i install older Gordian Knot, there are no any problem.

So use older Gordian Knot(.021 beta).

And ookzDVD. You say that DivX 3 is your favorite?? Why?
I know that DivX 3 make every time right size (is that only reason that many stupid people use DivX 3?). I try convert Gladiator to DivX3.11 and DivX4.12 and i see immediately what was better. That was DivX 4.12 and it was much better than DivX 3.

DivX 4 make much better quality even if movie is about 50MB smaller than DivX 3.

Have you try convert full movie in same resolution and bitrate to DivX4 and DivX3? I think that you haven't because you say that DivX 3.11 is better!

[Ripe73]

Why are you spread that not use DivX3.11 in the whole forum?It really pissed me off:mad:
You dont know what you talking about

[budbrain]

I´ve got the same problem when encoding BIG movies with the 2 pass.,.,the second pass won´t start as for everybody else..

Anyway, i have noticed that it works when encoding smaller "movies" or "clips" ...lika trailers & musicvidz ...The length of these "clips" are about 5 minutes each and they work flawless with gknot 0.22 and dix 4.12!

strange shit :)

[phaysonwulfe]

I am having the same problem with the 2-Second pass not starting but
GK Still Rocks. I eagerly await GK 0.23.

Sex, Rock & Roll, and Ripping! :D

[Barsk]

Hi!

I too have the same exact problem. DivX 4.12 and GKnot 0.22.

It halts when starting the second pass when it tries to read the log. And there is no warnings, errors or extra log output. Just "Trying to open Log-file".

The CPU is idle too.

Seems like a lot of people is having the same problem...

Hi!

I found the way to do the 2nd pass, I think it's not so easy like press a button in GK, but helps to get the AVI file if you don't wanna wait the patch...
Basically consists in deceive GK to get the VirtualDub job (.jobs file) and then load it to make the 2nd pass. But if you've used append credit feature maybe doesn't work with it, but can be used to make the movie...

Since GK only opens small log files we will do that.
First make a backup of the big log file (around 15 MB), then edit the log file leaving only a few first lines.

Start GK to make the 2nd pass, when VirtualDub starts the encoding abort it. (remember that you are not using the right log file here).

Restore the big log file backup that you've created (Don't forget this step!).

Must be two log files: the first for first pass, the second for 2nd pass, and for append credits/audio. You can know what file is if you look at the Top of the log, for example: "o DivX4-Second Pass".

Then you will need to open the GK log file (*_GKnot.log in the same directory where is .D2V file) and search the line: "Adding this script to" + filename.
Under this lines ("Adding this script to" + filename) you will find the Job's VirtualDub ('til "// $done" line), create a new text file, copy and paste the 2nd pass area from *_GKnot.log to text file you've created. Rename the text file extension to ".jobs".

Next you'll need to do the same process for add the audio (credits doesn't work in GK first pass mode) in a new job file (but copying the credits/audio area). But I found a bug (maybe?): you'll see a line like this: VirtualDub.Append("empty");
This causes an error when it's opened (this searchs an avi file called empty), so delete this line.

Also I saw that GK doesn't encode credits when you use the First Pass only... this seems to be a bug. :( so I think this line must be deleted anyway...

Finally you can open VirtualDub (it's in GKnot folder) then load the first ".jobs" you've created doing: file -> load processing settings (or press CTRL + L).

For add audio you must do this with NanDub, and load the last ".jobs" file created before in the same way as in VirtualDub.

I didn't test this with mp3 audio, I used this only with AC3, but I think that works using encode audio only to get the file and then mux both files.

That's all, it's more complex than "press this button"... but works :)

BTW... I think that an "export VirtualDub job" button would be a nice feature in GK future releases.

I hope this can help...

Sorry my english... :(

[nokku]

(Hiya all,new member here,been lurking for months...)

Sounds awfully complex to me :)
After doing the first pass in gknot, why not simply open the .avs file in vdub and select the second-pass&logfile from the compression-menu? Or you could do both passes in vdub..(which disables the handy recalculation and separate credits encoding that gknot has.)
Works fine for me and is of course only a temporary solution until thewef fixes the problem at next year :)

[MaTTeR]

I dont get it at all. Why not just wait another few days for TheWef to get back and fix the issue?

[Apu]

Hi,

as you all might already think, of course I've got the same problem.

Well, I don't want to stop working until the next release so I tried downgrading to 0.21. And there comes up another problem. I cannot select 'second-pass', only 'first pass' or 'both passes'....strange. I don't want to run both passes again as I already run two first passes (i would have run a third one if i did not found this thread actually). Any ideas? In 0.22 a can perfectly select 'second-pass', but I cannot work with that for the reason this thread is about.

any suggestions?

regards

apu

[CybDario]

Hi Apu!

You can't do the '2nd pass only' in GK 0.21...
I've posted what I did to do the 2nd pass (it's in this page), but it's not so different from manual way...

Good luck!
