does rerun first pass discard included subtitles? [and other questions]

[ciropizza]

as subject says...

:helpful:

well, i explain:

i ripped two dvd of a 3 dvds set - on everyone there is a part of 2 hours of an interview with philosopher gilles deleuze [well, i tell you to let you know that there are no big differences between the 2 dvds] and, for the first avi file, only for the first one, autogk reruns first pass.

for both of the dvds: i set, for the output, the predefined size of one cd and then i leave alle fields as default - also for subtitles, as it they were included directly in the avi; i used the xvid codec. i made the compression onto 2 different computers.

even if the source video was more or less the same, the first one presents the rerun for the first pass.
the source resolution is the same, 720x576.
the first video is long 599.31 Mb.
the second video is long 587.38 Mb.

but, the first avi file presents subtitles with worse quality than the second one - on full screen they seems go "pixeling"(?) and they're not readable.

is the rerun of the first pass involved in the problem?

here i paste the two logs:

why autogk has to rerun first pass?
what does it mean different "chosen resolutions" for two similar dvds?
why does it use different resolutions for two similar dvd's?
i have to use external subtitles?
and why instead the second avi file has very good subtitles?


many, many :thanks: in advance,

ciroops.

why autogk has to rerun first pass?
Hi,

Because there is a really big difference between the result of the comptest:57,29% and the real 1st pass:69,32% so AGK will rerun the 1st pass with "optimized" settings; it's not always efficient ...

what does it mean different "chosen resolutions" for two similar dvds?
why does it use different resolutions for two similar dvd's?

and why instead the second avi file has very good subtitles?
I cannot answer these questions because I do not have the beginning of your logs in which there are infos about your source, Video and audio size choosen; please post again or edit your 1st post;

One last tip: if you feel AGK screwed up the encode, load defaut (in Xvid encoder) and try again; if still screwed up, uninstall and re-install xvid.

i can't understand if the two numbers have to be "near" or the 1st pass has to be much higher than the comptest result.

i mean, the re-run of the 1st pass gave 76,91%....

you mean, in the hidden autogk menu?
well, i didn't change anything....

btw, i retry to encode the first dvd using external subtitles:

why does it change?

thanks a lot,

i can't understand if the two numbers have to be "near" or the 1st pass has to be much higher than the comptest result.
Hi, think in term of programming. It's conditionnal, AGK take the number of the comptest:57%, takes the number of the first pass:69% if more than xx% difference (I believe it is 20%) it rerun the first pass trying to be as near as possible of it's internal width/quality percentage/resizer balance

i edited the first post... Thanks

you mean, in the hidden autogk menu?
No I mean windows/programs/xvid/configue encoder/load defaults :)

why does it change?
You mean 1st DVD between first and second encode? I dunno, I suppose it is somehow related to the external subtitles changing the internal comptest

For difference between 1st and second DVD the difference is the compressibility of the movie: 1st is 19.88, 2nd is 26.35. So the 2nd will have a higher width and/or a higher quality.

Now concerning the 1st DVD keep what you like more between 1st encode or 2nd encode. If none satisfies you either lower the audio bitrate (to gain for the video) or raise the final size... up to you

thanks a lor for your replies.

ehr, i have other questions ;)

now i'm trying to use gknot&xvid directly: do you think i'll have any advantage or maybe i have to prefer autogk for my purposes?

for that, i'm following doom9 guide -even if presents xvid 1.1 codec setup walkthrough a bit different from the real xvid 1.1 codec setup [for example, "cartoon" check box is disappeared...].

well, looking at those logs the video seems to be interlaced: do you think that i have to check "interlaced encoding" in "profile" panel of xvid encoding configuration? what's "top field first"? do you suggest to check it too, looking at the logs?
in case i'll reuse autogk, if i set these options in xvid encoder settings, they will remain or not?

-you know, i definetely don't know what i'm doing :)

[BigDid]

thanks a lor for your replies.You are welcome :)

-you know, i definetely don't know what i'm doing :) In this case better stick with AGK, it will analyse your vobs and automatically deinterlace if needed, it will be logged like that:

[09/05/2006 14.46.13] Found PAL source.
[09/05/2006 14.46.13] Source aspect ratio: 4:3

[09/05/2006 14.54.03] Source is considered to be interlaced.

And it will use a deinterlacer like that:
KernelDeInt(movie,order=0,sharp=true)

For Gknot, I'll pass (I don't use it).
My best advice for AGK: Stay full AUTO unless something does'nt work :cool:

I forgot: welcome to the forum :)

what can i say, thanks for all!
