I can't use GKnot 0.27 to encode DVDs, only avis. It seems that GKnot doesn't write log files, so when it tries to open a log file, it won't find any.

What can I do?

[jggimi]

I can't use GKnot 0.27 to encode DVDs, only avis... I don't know what that means, sorry.It seems that GKnot doesn't write log files, so when it tries to open a log file, it won't find any... This I can help you with. DivX 5 is either not installed, or not installed correctly. ".log" files are produced by the first pass.

Note that 0.27 comes in 2 packages: the RipPack and the SystemPack. You need both to get Gknot to work properly.

If you have both the system and rip packages already installed, just reinstall DivX 5.

[mazzo]

It means that I can encode avi files, and that Divx5 works all right for that.

Anyway, I'll try to reinstall Divx5 pro.

[jggimi]

If DivX wasn't installed, then you wouldn't be able to encode from .avi either.

If the problem continues after reinstalling the codec, please post the applicable _Gknot.log files.

OK. Here goes:

Thank you.

[TheWEF]

press "preview" before you "save and encode".
for some reason the frameserver is not working. you should see the error message in wmp.

maybe post your avs.

wef.

[mazzo]

Sorry guys, this was my fault entirely.

I loaded mpeg2dec3.dll, since I do that when I encode AVI files.

It didn't work.

Returning to good old mpeg2dec.dll did the trick.

Thanks.
