Compressibility Check error

I see this is a common problem, here are my symptoms, starting with my log file:

Anyone know what's up with this? I've tried a few things.
-uninstalled/Reinstalled Divx4.12 codec (set it not to play 3.11 stuff each time)
-tried opening a .avs file in windows media player, worked fine
-divx5 shows up in Gknot, and I can play divx5 stuff I download anyway
-tried uninstalling gknot/reinstalling (both packages, in order)

So tell me, what's up with this? I'm guessing that the line:

-------
VirtualDub.video.SetCompData(374,"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");
-------

this mway have something to do with it, it certainly looks like garbage to me. Here's another section of note:

-------

I'm wondering, wtf? Has anyone gotten around this?

[OvERaCiD23]

you're using DivX4 still? I'm not sure if GKnot is even still capable of opening DivX4 logs. That could be your problem. Try upgrading to DivX5 and see what happens (DivX4 is quite outdated by now, and please don't say DivX5 is not an improvement ~~~> use B-frames in DivX5 and compare rips. You might crap on yourself :D ).

[arch_angel16]

even when I was working with Gknot before, my divx 5 rips were first compressability tested using Divx4...

help?? I'm wondering wtf is wrong with Virtual Dub...

Hi-

-uninstalled/Reinstalled Divx4.12 codec

Why on Earth did you do that? Uninstall DivX 4.12 again and then reinstall DivX 5.02. I hope that'll do it for you.

[arch_angel16]

Uninstalled Divx4, reinstalled Divx5, and eureka, it works! VDub still says I'm doing a divx 4 comp check, but it matters not. Btw, I must say, Vdub is a HELLUVA lot faster than it used to be lol...
