Problem with AutoGK

#1 11 Jun 2011 @ 16:51
I've been using DVD Decrypter and AutoGK to backup my DVD's for years with no problems at all until recently. Now when I run AutoGK it works as normal for around 40 minutes but then when it gets to the part where it launches Virtualdub I get the following message:

Video Compression error: The source image format is not acceptable. (error code - 2)

After which the whole process stops. Why is this suddenly happening and how can I fix it?

Ah, thanks.

I've been through that thread but I don't have this line in my registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Drivers32\VIDC.YV12

I have DIVX and XVID installed.

Does it fail when either XviD or DivX is selected in AGK - if it only happens with one of them, it's probably a codec problem and uninstalling/reinstalling that codec may cure it.

It's set to DIVX by default. I uninstalled XVID and redownloaded it but AVG keeps flagging it as a threat. I tried from several different sites including this one. I downloaded from the official site and just allowed it but everytime I try to run it I just get a small white box pop up and nothing happens so I can't even re-install XVID to try that :(

Do you have a restore point that precedes the uninstall or before the problem started..

Yeah I already did that. I think the problem is either codec or registry related as I've tried so many different codec to fix another problem I'm having. I've ran CClean a few times but that hasn't helped. I'm concidering re-formatting as I've tried so many different fixes I've made things worse.

I've finally found an XVID that will install! I'll try converting something in AutoGK with XVID set and let you know what happens.

Re-installing XviD seems to have done the trick! Thanks for your help!
