error during compressability check

[colema19]

hello,

I hope I'm posting in the right place, Vdub is returning an error when I try a compressibility check, but I suspect it's actually coming from DivX. Anyway, this is the error:

The source image format is not acceptable.

This is the first time I've had this problem, everything has run smooth on my other discs. Any ideas?

Thanks!

:logfile: and your .avs script, leaving out all the lines beginning with #, which are comments.

hmm ok I'll be happy to as soon as I figure out how. I'm doing this from Gordian Knot so it's happening behind the scenes on me.

i.e. if you can tell me how to get that out I'll do it. The only obvious log file I could see was for the audio transcode.

The Gordian Knot log will be called <movie name>_Gknot.log.

The .avs script(s) you saved will be named <movie name>.avs, and optionally, <movie_name>_credits.avs.

If you can record the error message you get from VdubMod, that would also be helpful.

In addition, open up your BeSweet log and see if it shows a "CRC error," that would point to a possible VOB problem.

ok got it...
What confuses me is why this is happening now. I've done a few others before this and it worked fine. My apologies btw, as it appears I am in the wrong forum, as this is happening with XVid as well.

the VDubmod error is "VideoSourceAVI Error: The source image format is not acceptable. (Error code -2)"

From my FAQ in the Gordian Knot forum: (http://forum.doom9.org/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=28)3. If VdubMod fails to encode the first pass with "videosourceavi error: the sourceimage format is not acceptable. (error code -2)" you may have to make a manual change in your Windows registry. See TelemachusMH's comment in http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=51906.Try TelemachusMH's suggestion, and see if the problem goes away.

That got it, thanks! I wonder what changed it on my system. I haven't run any crap ATI software lately. Could Virtual VCR change it?

well thanks, regardless!!!
