got a problem... I was encoding a dvd 2 divx 5.1.1, 2 passes when the first pass was complete virtualdubmod crashed on me... now I've got these files.: movie.avs movie.log movie_firstpass.settings movie_GKnot.log movie_Movie.avi movie_secondpass.settings vdenc.log VIDEO_TS.d2v and all the original vob files and the ifo file can I recover the files and start the second pass immediatly, if so how should I do this, or do I have to start all over??? thx
Yes if the first pass made it 'into the books' then you should be able to run just your second pass, directly. You should try a frame-server setup, such as the DVD2AVI > AviSynth > VDub system built into GordianKnot. http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/gordianknot/Gordian.Knot.Rip.Pack.0.28.8.Setup.exe?download It will help you greatly Regards
as I wrote in my first post, I dit use Gordian Knot but half way through after the first pass VirtualDubMod crashed... Is it possible to use GordianKnot for the 2nd pass only?? thx
Oh yeah, GKnot_log (duh) Yes it will do second-pass only, select 'nth pass' and passes=2, if a valid log is present it will jump right into the second pass. Is this crash rare, or common? Often happens in summer not winter, so is heat-related: if your room goes from 20degrees to 26, then your CPU can go from 58degrees to 64 or whatever, that it's not seeing in winter, y'know? Anyway good luck, L8R
vdubmod is quite buggy, if ou're using 1.5.10 try one of the bugfix released. its b0rked otherwise the latest stable version is 1.5.4 or use the original avery lee's vdub
No I have found that you must open the *.d2v every time (and save a new *.avs overtop) so that you get the video overlay in GKnot. You can't open the AVS, it just frameserves, you must open the D2V.
my bad, really ? my apologies, i don't use gknot. i only use the scripting avisynth, so i just assume it.
