Hi, I am having a problem with auto Gk

[davawn]

Ok, I compressed an uncompressed avi using the target size...the target size was like 380 megs.

the problem that I am having that once it is done....the beginning credits of the video speed by real fast for some reason, then the rest of the video goes at its normal speed. I dont know why, it makes no sense.

the quality and audio is fine, but of course the audio is out of sync because of the beginning part.

can anyone help?

sounds like playback problem to me...

[CWR03]

Sounds that way to me as well - if you stop the video and click the play slider well ahead of the problematic area, does the file then play in synch?

[davawn]

no....it stays out of synch.

this only happens when I use auto gk...(dont know why)

it doesnt happen with virtual dub.

id like to solve this problem tho cause auto gk tend to better conversions imo.

[CWR03]

Honestly, if you're getting better results from AutoGK than from VirtualDub, you're not setting up VirtualDub properly. (No offense meant, len0x :)) A really good middle ground is the full Gordian Knot which allows much more control than AutoGK, but is much simpler than scripting via VirtualDub.

[davawn]

well, any solutions to my problem?

the reason i am talking about getting better results with VD is cause with Auto Gk i can set my maximum megabytes for the file which I cant do in Auto GK.

[CWR03]

well, any solutions to my problem?There's no reason to be rude. I've offered the solution of using the full Gordian Knot because you can get better quality encodes than with AutoGK with much less work than with VirtualDubMod. If you tried it and it doesn't work, please post the results. If you're unwilling to try it, be patient; someone will happen along who may know exactly why your encode went wrong.

In the meantime, delete the previous failed rip, defrag the hard drive, then re-rip and re-encode the way you like to do it and see if it happens again.

Huh?

i wasnt trying to be rude.

what i meant is...in auto gk i can set the size of the file beforehand while with virtual dub...i dont know how so it will end up being whatever size its going to be.

where would I go about getting the full gordian knot program?
