Problem with GKnot(joining failes)

[millekink]

Hey,

I have a problem.
I do everything that the guide says but I won't get a final movie.
I get all parts sound, credits and main movie.
Gknot starts joining the parts but stops after a while.

I searched the forums and found nothing that helps.

I use win2000 and had enough hd-space. (+- 5 gb)

So now I join them myself(with vdup) and that works but it would be nicer if GKnot did this.

Thanks:confused:

Hi are you sure you followed the guide correctly , i only ask because i had a muxing problem , but just didnt READ the guide correctly . you only hit the encode button once ( to encode one movie) after selecting you mp3 settings go back to the video tab etc then hit encode . im sorry if i sound patronising , and if this is not the poblem you are having i kindly step to one side ;)

OH. im ½ way through my first encode using the "encode credit seperatly" function ...it does seem like it is going to mux it together on mine....but we will see in about 3 hours :D

Tnhx for replying.

I did read the guid serveral times and I followed the guide.

So.....

I'll try it some other time when I encode the next movie.

do you have a log of what's happening and why it failed?

and are you using divx5 with gknot??

[millekink]

I don't know why it fialed because I can't find a real error. It just stops

No I don't use Divx 5 because

a: I haven't had the time
b: I'm waiting until the most bugs are out of the codec

I do have a log file, I will atach it


Thnx


Question: Do you see the attachment?

well, when I first started using Gknot, I had the same exact problem. I think I solved it by not using the delete intermediate files switch in Gknot. Not sure though. Try it and let me know.

hint : if nothing works, then use vdub manually to append and mux audio. It's quite simple.

The log file attachment is now available (it has been blessed by a moderator, and appeared).

Note the last step in the jobstream:5:31:00: Started Appending Credits and Muxing Audio.: E:\divx\mummy_Movie.avi
5:32:21: Finished Appending Credits and Muxing Audio.. Duration: 1 minute, 20 seconds.
5:32:21: Hmm... Final Avi Size smaller than Intermediate files.
5:32:21: Something went wrong. NOT deleting Intermediate files.

5:32:21: Done.Gknot didn't stop...it uncovered a problem, apparently in the 2nd pass, since everything I was able to read in the log for audio, credits, and first pass look ok to me. But I'm not a log file reading expert.

It does say that all intermediate files were saved. If your 2nd pass completed correctly, you should have a video-only avi that looks good, and contains everything from the first frame to where you marked the end-credit point. Does this file exist? Does it look good? Anything on vdub failures in your w2k log?

[millekink]

Thnx for the help


Jep all files excists and they look good to me.
I don't think there's an error in vdup because when I do it manualy it work just fine.

I will try not to delete the intermediate files.

the error occurs in the muxing part I think, but I'm also not a log expert.

actually, you're using nandub to append/mux the files :)

the log doesnt say much about when the error occurred. Nandub tried to append/mux but somehow gave up after a minute or so.

I'm sorry, cant remember exactly how I fixed the problem. Anyway, if you get valid files and know what to do with them, the append/mux part doesnt take that much time to do manually.

[millekink]

I know, I do it now manually

but I like to know what I did wrong


I'll try it with not deleting the intermediate filles
