File is not a valid D2V project -- modified installation

hi folks, had problems with a rip (audio getting out of sync), done some reading and found out that the DVD2AVI version which i'm using (1.77.3) had problems losing legit frames due to decoding bugs. i downloaded the supposedly fixed donald graft version (1.77.3dg), but ever since i replaced DVD2AVI.exe and MPEG2DEC3.dll with his versions, my gordianknot (0.28.5) fails to load the D2V file with the "not a valid D2V project" message. (it keeps talking about 1.76, but had so far -- before the dg patch -- it finely accepted my 1.77.3 D2Vs, too. weird.) then i reverted back to the original 1.77.3 DVD2AVI, created a project file with that -- mind you, gknot accepted 1.77.3 output before -- and i get the same error message. from this point on, it's quite... cryptic. so, what's up, docs? is the modified MPEG2DEC3.dll the culprit? or how to work around this? thanks,

Hi- GKnot opens my .d2v made using neuron2's version just fine. I'm encoding now using MPEG2DEC3DG.dll with no problem either (but not through GKnot). I'll try some GKnot encoding afterwards. I'm also using GKnot 0.28.5. Are you using the latest DVD2AVIdg.exe Beta 5 from Sept 10?

Sure :) I didn't say that it's gonna be released right now though...
