GK 2.8.6 2nd Pass Error

[MajinNinja]

Hi Everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone else was having when the second pass starts. I get an "Processing thread has not cycled for 10 seconds - possible livelock" error in vdubmod. Any ideas?

Cheers:)

I think I had the same error as you. Disable Lumi-masking and it should work. For some reason if lumi-masking is enabled and b-frames are enabled it hangs at the beginning of pass 2. It works with Virtual Dub Mod 1.5.1.1a but not 1.5.4.1. The Virtual Dub Mod folks claim it's a codec problem, not in Virtual Dub Mod. So bottom line is disable lumi-masking and hopefully everything will work. If you don't have that enabled and it still hangs, I guess I can't help you out with that.

here's a thread where they explain it in the first two reply's. It's just a warning and not an error so its nothing to worry about.

Actually this is different, the encode sits on frame 0 forever. It never encodes anything. I believe the other thread indicates that the encode does complete successfully.

Had exactly this error yesterday trying to encode a movie using Xvid and Gordian Knot 0.28.6.2 (downloaded last week). First pass seems OK, second pass writes a few bytes and then hangs. The log show the error message: "Processing thread has not cycled for 10 seconds - possible livelock" and nothing else happens.

Had my system up waiting for more than one hour and still no success. What to do? This has to be more than a warning...

Stop multitasking and wait some time.To me this re-started the encoding.

Stop multitasking??? I forgot to mention in my previous post that my computer was unattended during one hour waiting for my Xvid encode to continue its second pass. I can't do much about the internal tasks of XP.

Hi xistan,
Stopping Multi tasking means not internal XP tasks,the ones you do simultaneosly while working.From your reply i could understand that you,dedicated the complete system for encoding.But in my case I was simultaneously copying another DVD to HDD so I thought it may be your problem.Stupid Me.But to my experience this problem did not last several minutes or hours.Just seconds every time less than a minute.But I could understand that the problem is not occuring while you are entirely spending whole CPU time.
BTW,I had a search on the subject and got one thread:here (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=60815&highlight=VirtualDubMod+livelock)
