"invalid log file" error, please help

[Jackie]

Hi,

I just used to encode a movie with GKnot and DivX 5.0 yesterday, and everything worked fine.

Unfortunately, I wanted to change some settings (DivX 5.0 Pro options), so I loaded myold project again, and am now trying to get it work.

VDub always keeps telling me "invalid log file", no matter what I try. i have tried to move and delete all output files (i.e. left only the files that were there after DVD2AVI), but I can't get this movie to work a second time, always that message.

Now I am trying for hours, nothing helps. I have the output from Knot's encoder window included, the file mymovie1.log does exist, but is write-protected while Knot runs.

please, help me!

Thanx in advance,

Jackie

obviously the first pass fails, so there is no log file for the second pass...

are you sure the frameserver is alright?
try to open K:\MyMovie1\MyMovie1.avs with wmp6.4...

wef.

[QuakerOatz]

i'm having the same problem. my avs files play fine in virtualdub and WMP :(

[jggimi]

Perhaps not exactly the same problem, Quaker. As I'd mentioned you may have a codec related problem, since GKnot creates what appears to be a good .avs file for Vdub.

[jggimi]

Now that I think about it further -- a fairly common problem is for people to install releases of the Codec in the wrong order. For example, if you install like so:[list=1] DivX 5.02
Gordian Knot[/list=1] Then GKnot will actually overlay DivX5 with DivX4, causing lots of grief. The correct order is:[list=1] Gordian Knot
DivX 5.02[/list=1]The "fix" is to reinstall DivX 5.
