I've been using Gknot for four or five movies now, and every time it worked just like in the guide and/or the help file:
load project, clip, resize, do a compression test, see if the result is somewhere between 60% and 75% (maybe adjust bitrate and/or resolution if it's not).
Now I have this movie (a German movie called "der Schuh des Manitu") that should be fine for a one-cd rip: 81 minutes, nice quality. Everything works fine until I do the compressibility test:
The result is around 4400% !!!
So, no matter what bitrate or resolution or format I chose, I will obviously never get this in the 60-75% range.
I tried 5%, 6%, 10% and 15% compressibility test, it's still the same.
The fact is, it must be plain wrong! The projected filesize in the nandub status window (while doing the compressibility test) shows values that should result in something like 60%.
The desired size is 700MB, 5% of that is 35MB - so the projected size in a 5% compressibility test is perfect at ~60MB, right? So why does it say 4400% in the end ???? I mean a little out of bounds, ok, I still believe it, but 4400% is just so far out it can't be right!
Does somebody have an idea why Nandub would write a stats file completely wrong while it shows plausible values in the encoding status window?
