Fails 2nd Pass --> Doesn't Work with Undelete

[Squee0]

AutoGK fails to encode an MPEG into XviD in the begging of the second pass receives this error message every time:

FastWritestream: couldn't open "c:\...": The Process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process..

Undelete by Executive Software is active and running on the drive, that's the only thing that I could assume that's causing this not to finish, because the file size is correct after the 1st pass but the second it starts the 2nd pass the file size goes to 0kb and receive that error message.

Hi,

Please post your logfile...

Did
Is this the logfile for your problematic encode?
Cause I don't see any error messages...

One general tip: Try restricting your files and folders naming to DOS characters.

Did

[Squee0]

I get the problem in the form of a popup message box, and then once I click on with that AutoGK then saves the .log file and it moves onto the next item in the batch, even though the file hasn't complete since its file size is 0kb. Will try dos file names.

[Squee0]

yeah it still doesn't work when making the file name length less then 7 characters, still get the same error can't access file while its attempting to start the 2nd pass.

[The Scientist]

Undelete by Executive Software is active and running on the drive, that's the only thing that I could assume that's causing this not to finishThen why don't you try it with it disabled?

Also, if you have Symantec Anti-Virus running try it without this running (especially Corporate Edition). Also, ZoneAlarm can cause this too.

Try each to see if you can track it down, good luck.

[Squee0]

Yeah I would try with undelete disabled, except that its not really possible to disable per-say. but i'll figured something out...
