I get a frameserver error

[Killer_DT]

I've followed the latest Xvid/gordian gnot guide provided by doom9.net, but when I'm finished setting everything up, you're supposed to press "Add Job to Encoding Queue"

Then I get the message: "Cannot create encoding job! you Have to select a valid frameserver first.

When I look at the middle part of the "DivX Encoding Control Panel, there's a option that says "Frame Server: Please select file" But when I press select, what am I supposed to select?

...what am I supposed to select?...The AviSynth script (.avs file) you saved in the "Save&Encode" window. If you encode end-credits separately, you'll have two of these.

AviSynth scripts are text files you can edit (you saw the "Edit" button at the bottom of the "Save&Encode" window), but that act like AVI files in video players (and in Vdub/Nandub/VDubMod). GKnot takes the labor out of creating these scripts.

That whole process is called "Frameserving."
Think of it this way:

VOB files contain video, audio, and subtitle streams.
The D2V project file is information about the video stream in the VOB.

The AVS script, using the D2V project info, extracts, frame by frame, the video from the VOB, and
1) Crops it, 2) Resizes it, 3) does other things at your request, from within Gknot or through manual editing, and 4) passes, or "frame serves" the modified video stream as uncompressed AVI to VdubMod, which merely encodes it.

If, in the "Save&Encode" window, you press the "Preview" button, the script will be opened in Windows Media Player as if it were an AVI, and you can see what the script output will look like before encoding. Pressing the "Edit" button will let you review or edit the script manually.
