Error message when trying to open DVD2AVI file.

[arablover]

I have just done a complete reinstall of Windows XP Pro.

I installed Gordian Knot 0.27 and the system pack 1.0

I did NOT install the DivX 5.0.2 in the system pack. I installed DivX 5.0.2 Pro.

Whenever I try to open a DVD2AVI file, I get the error: File is not a valid dvd2avi project (v1.76), avi or avs file!

Any ideas?

Cheers.

There are only two possibilities I can think of.

1) The pointers to the video file(s) are hard coded in the .d2v project file. Open the .d2v file in a text editor, note the paths to the video files (.vob, etc), and make sure the files are still in the proper place. If not, either edit the .d2v file to correct it, or re-save the project in DVD2AVI again.

2) Make sure you use DVD2AVI 1.76, which is the version included with Gknot. This is less likely than the first problem, but it's the only other thing I can think of.

Here's an example from a .d2v project I'm currently doing:DVD2AVIProjectFile
