Access Violations in with Virtualdub using Gknot

[nocternal]

Hi Everyone,

I'm using the DivX 5 guide on doom9.org to encode from DVD-->DivX. After the first pass of ANY encode [single ot two-pass encode] Virtualdub crashes with a message of "Access violation".

I'm using DivX Pro 5.02 and Gknot 0.26. I have updated VirtualDub in the Gordian Knot directory to 1.4.11 from 1.4.10. Same problem still.

I can post the crashinfo.txt from virtualdub if this would help anyone.

Have anyone else run into this? :(

Hi and welcome to the forum-

You said this happens after the first or second pass. Does that mean that it completes the passes and then crashes? Do you get the completed .avi out of it?

Or does it crash right at the beginning of a pass, or somewhere in the middle?

The crashinfo.txt won't do us any good. No one I know can decipher the things. What happens when you load the .avs into VDub and scroll around? Does it crash then? If so, maybe post the .avs but without the lines beginning with "#".

And are you overclocked or perhaps have any temperature problems that might cause the crash, from overheating?

Thanks!

This message fails after the first pass... every time. If the clip encoded is short enough [separate credits encoding] I get a completed AVI file. If I try an entire movie it'll die with this access violation error and I'll get an AVI size equal to 16384KB -- 16MB.

I have encoded about three dozen other movies with this same setup [no software/hardware changes]. Could these errors be caused by a movie having certain odd characteristics? Scrolling in virtual with this samce avs does not crash. When I drag to the last frame in the movie I no longer see an image in the left pane.

I am currenly overclocking my main rig. I have rerun this test running at stock speed and also tried the same encode on two other mahcines... with the same outcome.

Hi-

I was going to suggest reripping the vobs, but you said you've tried encoding the movie on other machines with no luck. So that can't be it. And yes, sometimes I do think that some movies just don't want to be ripped although, of course, that makes no sense. But to prove or disprove that in your case you might try and encode a different movie.

Why don't you cut and paste the log file so we can have a look to see if there's a clue in there.

Also, you might try and encode the movie outside of GKnot using the GKnot generated .avs and Doom9's DivX5 Guide (http://www.doom9.org/divx5-vdub.htm) if you're not sure how to do it yourself.

Yes, i had this exact problem when i first started using Gknot and i did everything bar reinstall the kitchen sink.

Remove Divx pro, and install Divx standard and your problem will disappear.
