I have a small question. I have been playing with and using gordian knot rather effectively to rip some of my DVD's to DIVX. It has worked great and I love the wide array of options I have. It took me a little while to figure out, but at first some of my movies were playing back at fast speed and the audio was out of sync. So I started changing the framerate to 23.976 and this seemed to correct my problem. I encoded a few movies, that worked flawlessly. However now I am starting to get a mysterious error message after I set all the options and Gordian Knot starts the encode. It starts the very second it starts to encode. Note however that I am able to do the compressibility check and it works. One odd thing about that, when I run the compressibility check, and have it set to home theater certified and Better quality, basically where the slider defaults to is reported at 200% quality...a little odd. When the encode starts now I get an error that says "Video Compression Error: The Source Image Format is Not Acceptible. (error code -2)" Now i have done nothing different to rip the movie, I am using Robot 4 rip to pull directly off the DVD in one case, and VOB files of a HDD on another case. No matter what I try to encode it gives me this error now! I can encode in XviD just fine, or even divx 3. I have also tried the 29 FPS setting and still no happiness. Any suggestions or more details?

The thing with the "frame setting" is that it's fixed depending on how you are encoding. If you rip the DVD and set DGIndex "Video > Field Operation" to None, the output video will always be 29.97 FPS unless you're using the IVTC setting. Changing the framerate in Gordian Knot has no effect; it's there mainly as a reference. I'm pretty unfamiliar with DivX as I only use XviD to encode, but your problem could stem from your settings in DGIndex and something DivX is not compatible with.
