Flask Problems

[interman]

Last night I was flasking my very first divx. It was alien 1 btw. Ripping was no problem. I used flask 0.594 and loaded up the most sensible setting I could think of. It started to convert, so I went to sleep. At 06.30 I checked it, only to see that it had been running for 8 hours, was now at 100% and would not complete what-so-ever. I manually exited the program and tried loading it in Virtual Dub - no luck. Why wouldn't it complete?

Secondly, I tried flask 0.60 preview. Following the guide for it, I chose Open Media, and to select Thunder DVD mism (or whatever), which was not there. I tried loading the ifo file regardless, but with no luck. Why?

Thanks for any feedback.

Flask v. 6.0 does not come with thunder.mism. It must be downloaded seperately and then dropped into the flask v 6 directory. as far as your problem with the earlier flask version, I can't think of a reason why it wouldn't complete when it reached 100%. Try converting a small file (so the wait time is minimal) and see what happens. It will be much easier to pinpoint the problem when you don't have to wait the long time it takes to convert one whole movie.

Day 2

I reripped alien 1 just for the heck of it. I downloaded and installed the thunder mism thing, which worked. I tried flasking the smallest vob file that contained video, with the settings:
2-pass, first pass
Slowest
1426 kbit / sec
Max Q: 18
Min q: 2
RCAP F: 200000
RCRP F: 30
RC D/U R: 10

Mp3 for sound, 160 kbit / sec.

So, after 35 mins of encoding it completed. I loaded it up in Virtual Dub, changed a few settings in Interleaving:
Preload: 500
Interleave: 100 ms

Audio / Video: Direct Stream Copy.

Then, I saved the file and tried running it. Got the error message:
Cannot allocate memory because no size has been set.


Explain please

U only did the 2-pass, first pass, you have to do the 2-pass, second pass, before u get a useable avi file.
