Auto GK 2.25 giving undersized files

[neo_sapien]

I'd just like to start out by saying that Auto GK is a really nice program, and it sure does make compressing to XviD effortless. Also, the new method of analyzing the source of an AVI file sure is faster in 2.25. In 2.20 I was analyzing at 38-41fps, now it seems like it's often 150-300fps. Thanks for this great program :)

Anyway, in Auto GK 2.20 I was having no problems, my files would come out at just the right size, and looking at them with G-Spot, I could see they had B-frames. I have a Philips DVP-642 standalone DVD/DivX player, so I always select ESS standalone support. Today I installed the full package of 2.25, and all of a sudden my files are undersized, and they have no b-frames. I have tried uninstalling Auto Gordian Knot and everything related to it (XviD, avisynth, vosub) and then reinstalling the full Auto GK 2.25 package 2-3 times now. I would appreciate any help I could get on my undersizing problem.

Here is the log file of one of my encodes, which was supposed to come out to 30MB but came out to 20MB:

Just posted exactly the same findings in the development forum.

[CWR03]

Start by uninstalling/reinstalling XviD. Simply installing a newer version over an older one can cause this problem.

[ezmohp]

CWR03,
I uninstalled/reinstalled XviD (and all others as well), but this didn't help.

- ezmohp

[neo_sapien]

Unfortunately uninstalling and reinstalling XviD doesn't resolve it, and the undersizing still persists. I tried once more just to be certain.

[CWR03]

Uninstall again, search for and delete xvid.dll and xvid.ax files, then reinstall. Make sure you use the latest version of XviD.

[len0x]

DivX profiles got renamed in XviD... argh... ESS option will no longer work for the time being. Solution would be to use XviD from previous version of AutoGK...

[len0x]

Here (http://len0x.leffe.dnsalias.com/AutoGK.zip) is a hotfix for those who can't wait for a repack...

[kis2005]

FYI...I'm getting an "Installation is corrupted" error when I try to install this new update.

[neo_sapien]

I didn't see the post about the hotfix on time, so I just uninstalled everything and reinstalled 2.20, then installed 2.25 (sans the new XviD) on top of that, and now the file sizes and b-frames are right back where they're supposed to be. Thanks, len0x! This is a great program you got here!

[kis2005]

BTW...I need to donate money!!! This is a great program and I use it all the time and recommend it just as much.

[kis2005]

neo_sapien,

What do mean by "sans the new XviD"?

[neo_sapien]

"sans" is the french word for "without"

[kis2005]

Thanks. I'll give it a try with 2.25 update from 2.20.

[ezmohp]

FYI...I'm getting an "Installation is corrupted" error when I try to install this new update.

Same here - and the hotfix didn't fix the problem in my PC (XP SP2). But no worries - I can wait for the complete package.

I don't understand - the file above is just a zipped exe file that you have to unpack manually into dir were you have AutoGK installed...

Sorry, I misunderstood how to use the hotfix. Now it seems to be ok, thanks.
