That message is most likely coming from the codec.
The "stats file" is used in multi-pass encoding.
GK may or may not report an additional error or may just quit (I
don't use it, so can't say for sure) when the codec errors out.
I seem to recall this message mysteriously popping up from Divx
some time ago - perhaps it's version related? I'm currently
using 5.21 and have not encountered this message in many months
or longer. I don't recall why the codec got stuck in this error
(oddly in pass one??) but an upgrade may have been the solution!
BTW - a VERY simple alternative to GK, et al, is VDub-MPEG2 (or
VDub-Mod probably as well) which will convert VOBs to
AVI-Divx/Xvid. To make the use of VDub perfectly smooth, use
DVD Decrypter to rip the DVD to a single VOB (options, File
mode, file splitting=none).
If there are multiple audio tracks, VDub-MPEG2 will offer you a
selection among them.
Also, at the VDub-MPEG2 source/exe page
(http://fcchandler.home.comcast.net/) there is an ac3 plug-in,
in case you want/need to deal with it.
