Another Open AVI Failed in AGK

[hotluck]

I too have just started having problems with "Open AVI Failed".

I have un-installed all AGK programs, Divx, and any drivers connected with .avi files.

Reinstalled my video card drivers, AGK 1.25 and DivX 2.5.5

Tried a movie and got the same msg in the log file: Listed below....

any ideas on what is happening? I've made many DivX movies before without a problem...


Thanks,

Hi,

I still have no idea what was happening. I was quite happily encodeing using my old P2 computer running win 98 and after I got a new motherboard/processor and win XP, I sucessfully encoded one movie before my problems started.
I have installed win 98se on my other hard drive and boot from that if I want to use AutoGK. My other drive with win XP still produces the open AVI error.

I did however notice that on the occasions that I did get past the comptest, if I watched the status window in virtualDub during the first pass, It indicated that it would take around and hour or so to complete but ended after about 10 minutes. The second pass also ended early and resulting file produced was not as valid avi.

Have you tried running proxyoff.reg in autogk\vdubmod\aviproxy
(see original thread)

Haven't tried running proxyoff.reg in autogk\vdubmod\aviproxy.

I'll give it a go. Strange things. I have muxed over 100 dvds to DivX with no trouble. WinXP SP1 and SP2. no probs.

I did do an image backup of my current OS install. I may try an image re-install and just start over with old settings.

Obviously, something changed somewhere.

I just ran AGK with XviD on the same movie that gave me as previous message. Ran straight through. I'm burning it to DVD and will check out my Philips 642 to see how it plays. I may just change to XviD format.

Thanks for the post..
