autoGK Sugestion (more file size options)

[Jynks]

As movie makers are continually loosing the pilot and are making movies upward to 4 hours long (in some cases) the standard sizes of even a 2g file is not god enough for a decent rip.

It would be very cool if AutoGK had the option for say

3G (in 2 files)
3 cds

Thanks (my 2 cents)

2gb+ is too big a file for the file system too handle (iso/udf) and many SAP's wont accept it. I think custom size might work? never needed to go that large meself as efficiencies of scale (longer films allows better distrib of bitrate, no film of 3 hours is all action) kick in. You could just lower the res or chop the film in half yourself and encode both halves, then join the halves together.
What monstrous epic are you talking about? Lawrence of Arabia (DC) is 4 hours, but what else?

Hi,

The 3cd option exists already. Even 2 gb is not a good plan to burn on a DVD-+R if not splitted, the life of your media will be shortened :o

Now you always can split manually. You have to:
1/ Use virtualdubmod
2/ open your avi whatever the size in VDM (open video file)
3/ Save as (new name) and
- check limit output size
- set limit size to 700Mb or less
- click save

You're done.

i convert all my movies to avi and put them on the xbox or a pc share.... stops the "kids have no idea how to treat media with out putting grubby hands all over them and scrating everything" factor.

What monstrous epic are you talking about? Lawrence of Arabia (DC) is 4 hours, but what else?

Other examples are

Das Boot - Directors
LOTR Trillogy - Directors
King Kong

etc etc I know there are more. Those were just off the top of my head.. mabey 4 hours wasa bit of an exageration but 3 hrs isn't to rare no days.

Why is that?

Personal experiences with my first avi's burn; movies stalling, media not playing etc...

Now I always split (and use good media) for avi burning.
