Gordian Knot support for Divx 5.0 Pro?

[atinoco]

Greetings,

I just tried encoding a movie using the usual Divx 4 method after installing Divx 5.0 Pro, the result was pretty bad. An oversized, visually corrupted video, it seems that Gordian Knot could not open the Divx 5 Log created on the first pass, so the final result of the second pass was terrible.

I was just wondering if there is an update on the works for Gordian Knot to make it support Divx 5.0?. The thing I like the most out of Gordian Knot is that everything is pretty automatic, and it saves me a lot of time and trouble. As I am only a casual user who likes to encode movies without spending too much time or hasle, I'll stick with Divx 4.12 for now, The Divx 5.0 method in the guide is too much time consuming for my taste.

I just want to know if I should expect a Gordian Knot update in the near future that enables me to use Divx 5 without having to go through an extesive, complicated, and time consuming guide.

Thanks in Advance

There has been PLENTY of discussion about possible changes and additions to GKnot. Right here in this forum.

Check out Doom9's message further down in the forum, called enough with the wishlists already (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=19339)

I really wasn't taking about adding features, wish lists or anything.

I think Gordian Knot is awesome as it is right now, I was just wondering if it was going to support Divx 5.0 Soon, or if there was a simpler workaround than the Doom9 Guide, I guess from reading from the post you added, this won't happen any time soon :(

If anyone has any more info or suggestions, please let me know.

Just a thought, if the programmer doesn't have time, isn't there a way to make the software Open source so other people can also help working on it? I'm sure there are many other programmers who would be happy helping in the development of this fine piece of software.......This is just a thought BTW.

Also, I think WEF has done a great work, this is THE BEST encoder frontend out there, period. I just didn't realize this was the work of mostly 1 person, amazing!!!!!!! Let's hope to see a new version soon.

Sorry bro but if you had looked through the numerous threads already then you would have seen your answer.

Does anyone really think TheWEF wouldn't include Divx 5 support in his next release(s)? Kind of a silly question;)

Yesterday, I searched for posts by TheWef, and I found this one it's a couple of weeks old but it's pretty clear:

Next version of gknot ETA? (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=16955)

It seems TheWef it's actually working on updates, but according to the message his time is VERY limited. Lets hope the updates include Divx 5. He also mentions he expects to have more free time to work on GKnot on March :D , Right on!!!!!

Keep up the good work TheWef :)
