I wanted to try encoding a dvd to divx / xvid for the first time, so I downloaded AutoGK and started working on a dvd. When I select the vob file and make a preview, playing the resulting file will show no video, and plays only sound.
I have vlc and ffdshowcodecpack instaled and normally all divx files play prefectly fine. So I don't understand what the problem is.
Does anyone know what might be going wrong?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Here is the auto gk output of the preview:

2.45 is the latest stable release. Should I install a beta instead?
And are preview files essentially different from the actual output files? I mean when the preview doesn't play in VLC, the actual encoded file will play..?
