I know the final file size may vary a bit, but this is ridiculous!

Using Gknot 0.23 Divx 4.12 codec
Last night I backed up the exorcist ntsc.In Gknot, I chose 128kbit/s for audio, and Gknot chose 660kbit/s for video. When I woke up this morning, I came to see that the final file size was 804 megs, yikes!
The details in the file says audio: 112 video: 112 (112*8=896 kbit/s) I looked that the log file and it changes the video bitrate twice, the first time is correct, but the second time is huge. Whats going on?

i dont know whats worng with the size
but the way you encode audio (-h -abr ) realy sucks :p

[jggimi]

I saw this:5:01:35 AM: WARNING: Number of counted frames differs from settings!
5:01:35 AM: WARNING: Settings: 212638
5:01:35 AM: WARNING: Counted: 170110
5:01:35 AM: WARNING: Difference: 42528
5:01:35 AM: Correcting Bitrate...
5:01:35 AM: Original Bitrate = 695 k(=1000)Bits/s
5:01:35 AM: Now encoding at 873 k(=1000)Bits/sbut it didn't make sense as the credits step found it's frames ok beyond this point.

Out of disk space? Haven't run scandisk in a while? I'm out of guesses.

[BluDChyLD]

whats the best paramters to use in LAME for mp3 encoding? I use the -abr-preset 128 one...

[jggimi]

That's a better question to ask in the Audio encoding (http://forum.doom9.org/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=11) forum. You'll probably find many threads on the subject there.

[TheWEF]

i guess you are using the ivtc avs-plugin or something similar. so you have to change the framerate manually to 23.976 before you start encoding.
