encoder not functional error?

I get this error when trying to encode:

I am using RBpro 1.27.3 and have tried HC022 and HC023. I recently updated to avisynth 2.5.8 and this is the first time I am using RB since that. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Had the same exact problem last night. I had to uninstall DVD-RB and avisynth then reinstall which fixed the problem. However, after re-installation I noticed that the HC encoder was not recognizing profile changes via the RB interface. It always remained in FAST profile.

I reinstalled RBpro using the full installer and I am still getting the same message. Jdobbs any suggestions?

You probably didn't uninstall AVISYNTH. Uninstall both DVD-RB and AVISYNTH and then do the complete install. It will reinstall AVISYNTH when is realizes it isn't there.

I have no idea what causes this... but it seems to be related to the last few versions of HC.

Thanks, uninstalled everything and reinstalled and it worked. Didn't bother to update to the latest avisynth. If it ain't broke don't fix it, I guess.
