Encoding results in a 12 KB file!!??

[teko77]

Hi!


Gordian Knot used to work ok with my setup, but after I had reinstalled the windows xp and now try to encode my MPEG2-captures into XviD, for some reason the resulting file is a tiny 12 KB or so file? After installing the XP I had a problem with the explorer.exe which used 100 % of my CPU and after finding a solution from the web, I removed two keys in regard of the .avi-files from the registry as follows:

HKEY CLASSES ROOT\SystemFileAssociations\.avi\
shellex\PropertyHandler

HKEY CLASSES ROOT\.avi\ShellEx\{BB2E617C-0920-11d1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}

In any case, I attached below the GKnot logfile.

Thank you for any help,

If it's for any help, I receive the following error-message now as well:
"an unknown error has occured (may be corrupt data): (error code -100)".

I read the board and tried adjusting the directories where .stats-file is saved and disabling lumi-masking without any help - therefore any additional help would be appreciated (2 pass - 1st pass + 2 pass - 2nd pass external is the encoding method I have tried to use)

Hi-

You're not using the new 1.0 versions of XviD, are you? They aren't supported by GKnot yet, and you'll have to encode directly in VDubMod.

[teko77]

Nope and I have now tried also the older VirtualDubMod as well. This is strange. I had it working ok, but after installing the new xp updating it to SP1, things went sour.

I use 1st pass: "2 pass - 1st pass"
and 2nd pass: "2 pass - 2nd pass external"

Are those ok? Thank you for any additional help.

For some reason it just doesn't seem to be working, after the first pass I just receive the -100 error.

I have tried to read this forum through without luck: e.g. I have now loaded the default values for xvid in GordianKnot and selected a folder for the videostats.file:

2 pass - 1st pass:
1st pass stats: e:\\video2\edited\video.stats

2 pass - 2nd pass ext:
1st pass stats: e:\\video2\edited\video.stats
2nd pass stats: e:\\video2\edited\videogk.stats

and these folders do exist. I have also tried reinstalling GordianKnot and replacing the VirtualDubMod with the older version without success. (For some reason, during encoding (1st pass) there isn't that tiny window visible anymore: just VirtualDub - is this normal?

The movie resulted from the 1st pass was only 10 KB, while the stats-file was about 5 MB. I got the same results when I tried this with my laptop as well. I had not made any registry changes into it (see my first post on top of the chain), so the problem seems not to relate to that after all.

Please help me - my HD is filling with MPEG-2 captures as we spead... I usually run the MPEG-2 -file through DVD2Avi and load that into the GordianKnow. Please find my logfile attached below this post, if its for any help.


Thank you for any help,

Hi-

The movie resulted from the 1st pass was only 10 KB, while the stats-file was about 5 MB. I got the same results when I tried this with my laptop as well. I had not made any registry changes into it (see my first post on top of the chain), so the problem seems not to relate to that after all.

That part is normal. You don't get a good and playable .avi after the first pass unless you enable that feature. If you want to try, then when you're setting up GKnot for encoding, or you can do it directly in VDubMod, go to the Two Pass Tab and uncheck "Discard First Pass"

23:57:22: Started Xvid - Second Pass: E:\Video2\Edited\Everw2201.avs
23:57:29: Finished Xvid - Second Pass: Duration: 6 seconds.

That part (from the log) is not normal, and the stats file isn't being read, and is also the reason for:

an unknown error has occured (may be corrupt data): (error code -100).

So, have a look at e:\\video2\edited\videogk.stats. Is it where it says it is and is exactly the same length as e:\\video2\edited\video.stats?

You can workaround the problem by running an internal 2nd pass. Make sure that, in the Bitrate Tab of GKnot, you've filled in the audio size and the overhead value. Then in the XviD configuration box, select 2-Pass, 2nd Pass Int, fill in the file size that GKnot gives you, and run just the second pass over again. Make sure you tick "nth Pass" in the upper left of the Encoding Control Panel. I think you already have the audio, so you can just mux it.

If that doesn't work (you'll know right away), then in that same XviD Configuration box, hit "Load Defaults", and then in the Options Tab of GKnot, reload the settings that you like to use, and try again.

Big thanks Manono for the tips!

videogk.stats is non-existent on my computer for some reason., while video.stats is where it should be and its size is 4187 KB.

I will try now the internal pass -method you have suggested.

EDIT: the internal pass -method works just fine! Thanks again!
