^With GKnot, you can select what to have installed, you don't have to install everything that cames with it, with the exception of installing either the Xvid or Divx that comes with it, or both the codecs.

I've had Gknot before, and its never done to me what its done to you with your VDub settings.
Curious about something, though, which 4 vobs are you trying to merge/encode?

Hehe Sukeban Deka ^_^, and following ebc's guide I benefitted from getting all four vobs to 'merge' before encoding but now I just manually using Vdub to extract the audio files and using Audacity to merge those... But yeah I will probably uninstall Gnot + all the codecs and start 'anew' afterward, and maybe you could help me with the VdUb settings =X

^I'm guessing you dled the iso for that one from the H!O tracker.
I just re-installed trillian, so you can get me on there, and I'll see what help I can give you with your settings.

Hmm what is your ScreenName for either MSN/AIM as I tried adding your MSN but it won't add ><, my info is on my profile so yeah.

For DVD backup (e.g. conversion to xvid) I highly recommend DGIndex/DGDecode + Avisynth (+ VDub[Mod]). DGIndex is the tool to correctly decode and demux MPEG2/VOB.

Doom9 has the guides:
- DGIndex: http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/mpg/dgindex.htm
- DGDecode + Avisynth: http://www.doom9.org/index.html?/mpg/dgindex-frameserving.htm

More guides + info are linked from those pages.

@SacredCultivator,
I followed the setting from this guide (actually, I followed the whole guide for my rips), and everything works out sweet.

SacredCultivator · « **Reply #946 on:** April 23, 2007, 01:31:50 PM »

Hmmm I had L-San guide me through and so I did it overnight and when the results came.. 1.17GB and the quality was lost a LOT and the audio was out of sync.. But note when I loaded the script into let's say MPC to preview it came out right.. along with when previewing in VDubMod it played right... If anyone has the .iso please let me know so I can send you my script + .d2v and you can just change the things around. And check if anything went wrong...

EDIT: Tried the Guides provided and that one failed as well out of sync yet again...

Yes, huggums, me too! It's also been getting worse over the last few days... I couldn't use DAP so I switched to Download Express, but now that won't work either. It's only filedump - gocchin etc are fine. I think it's that old 'referrer' problem again... I've posted a request for it to be explained here as well.

Quote from: thatguy on March 08, 2007, 10:26:57 AM

i think we need a new sticky/thread for the whole referrer problem... it keeps popping up in this thread all the time

I know this was a while back, but - YES PLEASE!! I posted a request about this in ebc's thread about how to download as well, before I found this query.

Please don't tell me to go use flashget / flashgot, cos I can't make that work either. Surely we should be able to operate with popular download managers like DAP and Download Express... I know we want to protect against leeching from outside the forum, but if we make things so hard for legitimate members, is that good?

Sorry to sound a bit crappy... I really do appreciate all the work of the mods and the uploaders too, I'm just feeling a bit frustrated by things that change and seem to make us worse off than we were before.

SacredCultivator · « **Reply #949 on:** April 26, 2007, 08:37:07 PM »

hmmm I am not sure what happened but whenever I do an encode and it is nearing 100% I get this:

This occurs on anything I am trying to encode with MeGUI.

So not too sure if anyone knows what might be the problem... thanks.

PS: Also I can't seem to update my MeGUI to the latest CORE version... I update it and restart and well it is the same version again...

^Did you look at the log to see what it might tell you?

EDIT: Yesterday I was able to do encodes without any problems and I don't recall making any changes in terms of to the program settings/files only thing changed = scripts which all contain the same information just different file location.

RatBastich · « **Reply #952 on:** April 26, 2007, 09:26:15 PM »

^That error you got with megui is one I've never gotten with it, and megui is the only encoder I use.
I don't encode with xvid, though, only H.264.

Don't know what your source material is, but have tried to encode anything else since getting this error message?

SacredCultivator · « **Reply #953 on:** April 26, 2007, 09:44:35 PM »

Yup and same error, having someone help me right now so I shall report back if it works/ or not.

StreakInTheSky · « **Reply #954 on:** April 26, 2007, 09:53:37 PM »

That's a memory error.

I think you might have a messed up memory address in one of your sticks of memory

SacredCultivator · « **Reply #955 on:** April 26, 2007, 09:55:38 PM »

Hmm not too sure if that might be it.. as I can still encode via VDubMod =X

Nvm.. Find out the reason... It is due to it being a .avi, as .vob scrips work.
Example:
AVIFileSource("D:\Music Videos\Other\Maki Goto - Some Boys Touch.avi")
That is what I have for .AVI's (Made with AVSEdit)

So not too sure what to change it to, to allow me to process the .avi

StreakInTheSky · « **Reply #956 on:** April 27, 2007, 01:46:22 AM »

I'm not really sure how the memory works, but I occasionally get an error like that, and I've confirmed that I do have some corrupt memory addresses in my memory. It doesn't prevent me from using my computer or using any programs, but it does show up every once in a while.

Have you gotten that same error before?

SacredCultivator · « **Reply #957 on:** April 27, 2007, 02:22:40 AM »

found out prblem but yeah need to fix this one now. as it had to do with the script coding used.

That used to happen to me. I had "Real Alternative" which is some sort of addon to mpc to play realmedia files. I got rid of Real Alternative and it stopped doing it.
