I can confirm this problem. I've tried to encode a video twice now with the same error, that "the file already exists" or something like that (sorry i didn't write down the exact error) and it happens at some point during the first pass of encoding. I wasn't sure what was causing it, but now that I think of it, I too JUST installed Symantec Antivirus Corporate 10, so I'm sure it's no coincidence.
unfortunately i dont understand the whole re-coding process as my programming is limited. so i just downgraded from symantec 10 to 9. so do i have to wait for a new version of autogk or virtualdubmod based on your findings?
I have just recompile VirtualDubMod with fix above. Just replace VirtualDubMod.exe with this one: _http://rapidshare.de/files/1607894/VirtualDubMod.zip.html (As I have now other hosting I put it on rapidshare.de. To download just select free at the bottom of the page wait for ... seconds and press the link to download) now it have to work. In case of problem report it here... PS: The size of exe file is mach bigger, it's because I have not ups to pack it.
I too am also using Norton Corporate Edition and ran into this problem. The difference is I had it completely disabled, no realtime scanning, no service loaded when I ran into this problem. The fixed EXE cured things, but I think a more permanent fix needs to be implemented into AGK

Does anyone have a definite answer to the problem of the Fast Write stream couldn't open file X because it is being used by another process. Nothing else was running except the AutoGK and Symantec. ------------------------------------------------------------------ I have tried to convert a DVD to avi using the latest autoGK 2.27. I did replace VirtualDubMod.exe with this one: _http://rapidshare.de/files/1607894/VirtualDubMod.zip.html as suggested to get rid of the "Fast write couldn't open file" problem. Result: The autoGK passed the first of two passes without a problem. Then on the second pass, it bombed with the same error message everyone else is complaining about. I do have Corporate Symantec version 10.0.1.1000. I did not disable Symantec when running the AutoGK program. I have made the autogk log available to you at if you need to look at it. Help me here please. I am new at this program. It goes without saying this but is not good for a new inexperienced user. :thanks:
