gknot suddenly stopped during 2nd pass, How do I continue?

[jarthel]

Well I have encoded several animes recently where the 2nd pass suddenly stopped because of power failure or bad sectors in the disc and maybe other reasons as well. I was using gknot's 1-button encoding (I don't know the right term.).

Is there a way to manually continue (from start) without having to use gknot. I had a look at config window (divx codec tab) of divx502 in virtualdub. Based from what I saw, I think I can only use 2-pass encoding. But I also think that using this option will overwrite the previous 1st-pass log file that I got.

This will greatly save me time as I don't need to do 1st-pass processing again. There will be no changes to the .avs script so the .log file created during the 1st-pass is still valid.

thank you. :)

If you still have the log file of the first pass, you can easily make the second pass alone in VirtualDub.
Load your AVS in there, go to the DivX tab and select exactly the same settings you made in GKnot, select the log and the mv file if they are not selected in the right directory, and choose 2-pass second pass and then File -> Save AVI, that's it.
