TheWEF's Gordian Knot v0.27
You know i'm working on a successor for gknot. It's not finished yet...
DSPGuru suggested that we update the GKnot pack, because it was a little outdated already, so here it is... Latest BeSweet is included as well as newer versions of most apps. And we decide to dump SmartRipper in favor of DVDDecrypter, LightningUK finally made it the best ripper available.
And I dropped the "beta" in the name.
Gordian Knot is: A Bitrate and Resolution Calculator for mpeg4 (divx) encoding. Editor for Nandub Stats Files (and ecf-files). AviSynth-Frameserver-Setup. DivX ripping and encoding GUI. Two pass encoding, easy as it's never been before!
http://gknot.doom9.org now is the offical home of Gordian Knot! Thank you!
This is the forum: http://forum.doom9.org
Installation: Because of it's size we decided to split the pack in two:
GordianKnot.SystemPack.1.0.Setup.exe contains avisynth, all codecs and playback filters you need.
GordianKnot.RipPack.0.27.Setup.exe contains all applications, plugins and docs.
Please have a look at the respective readme files to find out about the exact content.
FULLY INSTALL BOTH PACKS and you are ready to encode.
For people who know their stuff we offer an exe-only download as well. Get GordianKnot.ExeOnly.0.27.Setup.exe and put all apps needed into the program folder manually.
DO NOT USE ANY OTHER RIPPER THAN THE ONES INCLUDED IN THE PACK UNLESS YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING! (do you understand what 'Ifo-parsing' means?)
Source-code of included GPL-software can be downloaded from http:\doom9.org .
Please go to doom9.org and read 'all' the guides, especially the GKnot and Nandub guides!
The author of this program does not encourage or condone the use of Gordian Knot or any other included software for anything other than the legitimate backing up of DVDs that are legally purchased.
