DivX failing on first pass after reinstall

[benwhit]

Hi.

I've recently formatted my hard drive and reinstalled windows and all my other software. Since then Gnot 0.27 no longer works. Attached is an example of the log file gnot produces and below is a small section of it showing where the DivX first pass does nothing.


20:37:11: Started DivX5-First Pass: E:\DVDRips\BlackHawkDown\Encode\BlackHawkDown.avs
20:37:12: Finished DivX5-First Pass. Duration: 0 seconds.
20:37:12: Trying to open Log-file.

I have tried reinstalling gnot and divx with no success and have also tried to encode multiple films but all attemps end with no output from the program.

Thanks for your help with this

could be that you just have to start vdub manually once and everything is fine.

thanks but i have also tried that.

any more ideas?

Check to make sure DivX 5.0.2 is installed properly (and not DivX 5.0.3) .

In Vdub, use the Video....Compression command and make sure 5.0.2 shows in the list of codecs..

Hi mate.

DivX 5.02 shows up fine in vdub but still not working. Any more ideas?

Thanks

One more idea. Can you open the .avs script in an .avi player?

If you can see video, and it's the correct number of frames, framerate, and length....then your problem is either the codec, vdub, or the operating system.

If you can't see video, then the problem is either the Avisynth script or the avisynth dll.

Hi-

If you can't see video, then the problem is either the Avisynth script or the avisynth dll.

That's my guess also. Did you reinstall the SystemPack with AviSynth?
And can you open the .avs in VDub and then scroll around without it crashing?

[benwhit]

Hi.

When I try to open the .avs file with VirtualDub I get the error
---------------------------
VirtualDub Error
---------------------------
Cannot determine file type of "E:\DVDRips\MeanMachine\Encode\MeanMachine.avs"
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Also, what systemPack are you talking about being reinstalled?

Thanks again.

Thanks for that. I installed the system pack and it has started to encode the video this time so i'll let you know how it went when it's done.



Yeah Everythings encoding fine now.
cheers for the help :D



Thanks.
