View Full Version : Bitrate change confusion

I'm using the newest version of GK, trying out the new automation features. I'm having a problem with it changing the bitrate. I do ivtc in the avs file, and the first time I tried encoding it, I had checked the box that said 'itvc in avs'. I ended up with a rather oversized avi. The only way I could get the right size file was by unchecking both the boxes on that screen. I also unchecked the boxes (2 audio streams) for recalculating the video bitrate after the audio was encoded. But I noticed something strange in my log file.

10:52:25 AM: Audio Done.
10:52:25 AM: MP3-File-Size is 30811 kb.
10:52:25 AM: NOT recalculating video-bitrate, audio size ignored, bitrate enforced! (You wanted that...)
...skipping...

Adding this script to C:\fu\GORDIA~1\nandub\VirtualDub.jobs:
...skipping most of this job file...
VirtualDub.video.SetDivX(1039,9999);
...skipping more...
VirtualDub.video.SetMinKBPS(270);
VirtualDub.video.SetCurveFile("C:\\fu\\zx.macross.plus.04.dub_1299_kbps.stats");

Can anyone tell me why this happened? And how much quality is lost because of that scaling problem? Is it worth a re-encode, or would there be little difference?

This file did end up around 10 mb undersized. Not a big deal, but not nearly as close as it was when I did it manually.

TIA

might be a bug.
please post both complete log-files (with and without recalc).

Unfortunately, I deleted the log from my first attempt. I'll re-encode it with recalc on, and see how it goes.

if this is the complete log file you are using an old program version.

really? .21 is the newest version right? *maybe* Iforgotto run the update.

aw, crap. the readme says .20.1. damn, sorry for wasting your time.
