Gordian Knot Help

[rb26dett]

OK I would like to use GordianKnot to encode some MPEG-2 files I have to DivX. VirtualDubMPEG is having a lot of sync issues for some reason, Dr. DivX works great but I don't plan on paying for it. Want to see if Gordian can pull it off

Step 1) Using vstrip I extract a .vob file from the .mpeg file (this file looks exactly the same as far as I can tell)

Step 2) Open the .vob file in DVD2AVI. Push F4. I get a .d2v file as well as a .mpa file (with the correct audio in it).

Step 3) Open the .d2v file with GordianKnot, then I push save & encode and I get a .avs file.

Step 4) Set bitrate etc. in GordianKnot then begin to encode (the .avs file is the frameserver and the .mpa is the audio stream).

I get uncompressed RGB output with no sound. Here is the log below. Any ideas? Really frustrating. I've also heard you can do things like cut commercials in Gordian. How would I go about doing that?

Thanks for reading this far!

Whoops I figured it out.

When I uninstalled Dr.DivX it screwed up the DivX codec. A simple re-install seems to have fixed it!
