Almost. I have one thing before that - subtitles (forced and external).

[len0x]

here is a version for those who have troubles with output size > 2Gb:

http://len0xmirror1.serveftp.net/~len0x/AutoGK.0.67.beta.zip

changes are:

- fixed problem with outpit size > 2Gb
- improved help icon
- improved readability of the log file (formatting mainly)

Also I'm wondering how useful you find this features (not implemented yet, but I need you feedback):

- selection between AC3 and MP3 sound track for large-sized movies based on comp test rather then output size.
- automatic size selection based on comp test (which takes say 640 minimum width and choses number of CDs)

P.S. Before next stable release I'd like to have the following features done:
- external subs support (although rar-ing will be tricky bit)
- forced subs support
- quality based encoding (1 pass encoding, just like maximum quality now, but with selctable quality percentage)

Every person I've introduced this program to has the same question. "How do I know what file size to tell it?" Automatic size selection would be the greatest thing since sliced bread, but only if you don't limit it to CD size rips! CD rips are soon going to be a thing of the past. Almost everyone I know either has a DVD burner of keeps their files on their hard disk. I can't remember the last time I burned an avi to CD. Please don't limit automatic size selection to number of CDs. Let it find the best size without this limitation of 700MB multiples.

The ideal way to implement automatic size selection would be to use an algorithm that attempts to find the best size/quality ratio based on the compression test. The standard argument against this is that "quality is in the eye of the beholder" therefore you can never please everyone with your algorithm. The solution to this is to have an adjustable quality scale. Say, a scale of 1 - 5 with 3 being default. Therefore, if someone feels your automatic size selection reults in lower quality than they desire they could raise the setting. At the higher settings the algorithm would demand a higher compressibility percentage or increase the bitrate by some percent. That part I leave to the experts.

In summary, I believe automatic size selection is the way of the future and would put your program leagues ahead of the competition, but only if you allow it to find the best size/quality ratio without forcing us to use 700MB multiples. CD rips can be an option to choose from, but making them the only option is backward looking and limiting rather than innovative.

ZZZERO:

I think that you are right in a way but wrong in another. First of all, many of your friends might have DVD burners, but of all the people I know, only 1 person has it, so normal cd-rom burners are still outnumbering dvd-burners. Secondly, if one uses a dvd-burner it is obvious he also has a dvd reader, which yes, many people have, but some others may not have and are still using normal CD readers.
Your idea about selecting quality sounds interesting, but maybe only for a more advanced program: AutoGK assumes that the user is a dummy or with barely any time. Its a great tool to use for that, and obviously, len0x has to make his decisions. If he did what you said, many others who are just starting to learn how to encode would be utterly confused. I believe that len0x has made the right decisions thus far, but one thing he needs to improve still are subtitles (multiple subs, ogm, mkv and all that jazz.) If you really do need a better quality for your encodes ZZZERO, then you can manually input a size for your movie and AutoGK will fulfill your wish :)

Peace

I use DivX only and do not have XviD installed, so could you remove the Error popup?

Thanks

[MediaMage]

version 0.66 beta is up Mainly two issues should be tested: - no oversize with divx5 (slight undersize is acceptable now) - handling of long movies (both in size and in length) Otherwise we're getting quite stable.


Testing that right now ;)

can we expect dual audio support some time?
coz i rip my season dvds always dual language (german / english) and its a time-comsuming process ripping the first language with autoGK, and then extracting the 2nd audio track and joining this manually in virtualdub.

[FastEddie]

Len0x, :)

All the extra's are great - but could you
please, please, please make a button under
the Advanced Settings for chosing the original
DVD Width and Height?
Or just an extra field to choose the Height yourself,
with the same option to Auto adjust it bij Gordian Knot???

Thx in advance and keep up the good work.

I fully support this statement.

If CDs would have been created as 100 min originally, all our encodes would have at least 25% more quality. I don't think we should let the music industry historical decisions to decide which quality your encodes will have.

[len0x]

Lets distinguish between two cases:

- auto size
- any size

What you're talking ppl here is more like any size that gives good quality which is _codec_ based decision and is called quality based encoding (you specify percentage of quality and that's it). There is nothing to decide here about size. (and it's easy to implement and its on my list)

But what I was talking is auto select of number of CDs indeed, because that decision has to be made by the _program_ and results has to be passed to the codec.

which error popup we're talking about ?
since 0.66 it automatically select installed codec. Are you saying that AutoGK doesn't save settings and asks everytime for XviD even if previously you had divx selected on advanced window ?

[idHUNTER]

Original movie (PrincessBlade) was 720x576 16:9 (1,77)
Your program made avi of aspect ratio 1:2.1 or smth like that.
It would be nice to have aspect ratio customizable. I mean by default GKIF4U calculates aspect ratio on its own, but allows to override it in advanced options.

This setting is a must. You cannot fix GKIF4U to determine aspect ratio more accurately because the problem is not with GKIF4U at all. Original DVD movie is bad mastered (pirate copy) and plays distorted by default (so I have to change aspect ratio in WinDVD). But I want to have opportunity to fix this during DVD-MPEG4 conversion.

Also, NanDub (or VirtualDubMod, I don't remember exactly) you are using for conversion often crashes on exit. This is not a problem when working with it directly (because movie file is already saved to the exit moment), but turns into pain with GKIF4U. When crash occurs, dialog box is displayed, and conversion pauses. Result: I went to home after work and see that only compression test has been completed to the moment. Displaying dialog box has taken the rest of time. Then I click "Close" in the dialog box, and the next conversion stage begin. This way the whole conversion process sometimes takes a couple of days (staying idle 80% of time).

Is it possible for you to call Nandub in silent mode, so it won't display dialog box on crash, but just exit?

I got that. The point is that these two concepts end up intermixed. With D2Sroba, for instance, we specify the worst quality we expect, in terms of CCE's Q.factor quantization parameter. A small sample is encoded, and how many media it will need is selected. This "ideal" number is typically about 1.5 CDs. Then, the software encodes into 2 CDs anyway, which makes sure you get the quality you expect and also fill your SVCD media.

With AVIs you don't have that constraint. If you are archiving to DVD-R, you don't actually need to increase the output file size beyond your expected quality.

You might mimic that media selection algorythm, it's very useful and simple.

yet, I'm still wondering how come you ppl don't get this:

You propose to do comp test, then adjust the size to achive say 75% of it. This is totally equivalent to doing one pass (MUCH faster) encoding with 75% of qiality already selected by the codec. So you end up with two scenarios, which result in the same avi file:

- comp test, two pass encoding
- just single pass (almost twice as fast).

Tell me again why is that you choose first one ? :)

That's beyong the scope of the project as I can't really deal with bad mastered DVDs. You can always do this manually with normal Gordian Knot.

This is violation of rule 6 from here: http://forum.doom9.org/forum-rules.htm Please familiarize yourself with forum rules.
(before you get striked :) )

AutoGK is intended to be totally legit software, which should work OK on legit media.

No, I'm not in a control of VDubMod and can't suppress error from there. Although I really wonder why you're having problems at all? Did you use all the tools provided with AutoGK? (i.e. codec+avisynth+vdubmod combination). If not I strongly suggest you do that, coz seems you're the only one who have such problems.

Actually, with D2Sroba you go up, not down, of the output size generated by the selected quality.

So you end up with two scenarios, which result in the same avi file:

- comp test, two pass encoding
- just single pass (almost twice as fast).

Tell me again why is that you choose first one ? :) [/B]
I'd never choose the first one (don't know where you got the idea). However, I can think of a scenario for people to prefer to do that: they like best 2 pass before 1 pass-quality. There have been hot threads about which is best.

What I personally dream of is the following:
[list=1]
Select 1 pass-quality based.
Select the desired quality as percentage of 100% (with today's best qality you get quant 2 all over. quant 4 and 5 still look great).
Encode 1 pass-quality based no matter the output size.
[/list=1]

well, it's a pitfall to think that 2 passes is the best. The quality will be _the_same_ if two encdoings have the same output size (after all they are both VBR encdoing, do confuse with a single pass CBR encoding). In fact I had some requests to always perform single pass encdoing based on comp test to achieve target size, which would be possible if comp test was always 100% correct. In such case we don't really need 2 passes anyway. But it's somewhat imposssible if you aiming for exact output size...

[Tuning]

Hi len0x,

Feedback to your queries: (Its only my opinion and this is what I'm following with GK)

Considering minimum resolution is 640x*,
- selection between AC3 and MP3 sound track for large-sized movies based on comp test rather then output size.
I agree this as our important goal is towards quality. If the compressibility test gives less than 60% then mp3 is preffereble.

If its ac3 and the compressibility is slightly under(55-60%) then re-encoding ac3(384/448kbps) to lower bitrate(256kbps/320kbps) is prefferable. (IMO ;))
But what I was talking is auto select of number of CDs indeed, because that decision has to be made by the _program_ and results has to be passed to the codec.
That is not much appreciable as first. If the above two audio method is not giving apprecialble compressibility then this is the only option left. Increasing CDs automatically.
It would be nice if there is an option allowing pre-defined CDs as of now along with automatic mode.

Thanks

Len0x,

Well, that sucks, i know - but i can stretch the lot, but then it
inserts line's and that doesn't really help the quality - that's why i just take the complete Width and Height when i wan't to convert to
DivX - it takes more time, but the quality is considarable better.

I can still keep using the older versions and do everything the way
i like it, but it's more work to explain to a newbie - that's why
i asked for it if it's nog to much trouble - at this moment i choose
fixed setting under Gordian Fast and then at 720(if it's widescreen),
and then just hope that it looks good on the player - otherwise
it's back to the "old-ways";)

If you can add the extra of choosing the height yourself(or just a button with text - Keep original Size) then i would be really pleased.

Anyway, using it from day 1 and keep on doing it.

Greetz, FastEddie

p.s: the extra of DivX is fun, but i keep using XviD.:D

I don't quite understand this bit. For sure more height from anamorphic encodes help quality, but there is a difference between unability to watch in a proper AR, and desire to watch it a perfect quality. I'm sorry but this is not a newbie feature and it will only be implemented when I have config file settings (not in the following month).

Len0x,

The only difference is then that the lines are put between and the quality goes down - when i use Gordian Knot the way i always did it worked perfect if you just kep the original size - the size of the cd's was calculated perfectly and the split of cd 1 and cd 2 was perfect too.

Another thing is that the subtitles are put "on" the movie at this stage: when you use the complete width and height the subs are under the movie in the black bars.

I transformed The Fast and the Furious this way and it's perfect.

Gordian could skip the test of how much lines to crop bij letting the movie just keep it's original size 1:1 for input and output, isn't it? The Bits/(PixelxFrame) wil be low, but the quality still is good.

I know, i'm probably the first to give you this "problem" or question , but i'll see what the future has in store ;)

Greetz, FastEddie :cool:

Believe it or not, in MPEG-2 world some guys still stick to 9-pass with CCE. They say they can tell the difference on big screen TVs.

Personally, with eyes not gifted to notice that, just use 1 pass and sometimes a second one to correct the output size of SVCDs.

@Lenox:

unsplitted movie ist exactly 1400 mb BUT

[dosdan]

2nd movie tested with 0.67:
unsplitted movie ist exactly 1400 mb BUT
splitted is 1,88 gig and 1.85 gig

Same prob as mine, but in my case it was a 3-disk split. Similar oversize percentage as mine: 132%-133% of original movie size per split AVI.

I'm at work now and can't test it in Vdubmod. Have you looked at the lastjobs.vcf? It should be the script to split the CD2.avi. Have you to tried to load this script in vdubmod and run just it to see if it works OK. Shouldn't take very long. If it doesn't work correctly, but splits correctly in the previous version of Vdubmod, then it's a new Vdubmod bug.

[Gazza]

I have just tried AutoGK with xvid 1.0 beta 2 and with everything set to default (xvid, bfames, cm, trellis, mpeg). The first pass seems OK but then AutoGK reports a divide by zero error when going to the 2nd pass. I ran the test again with koepi's XviD-24062003-1 version and it seemed to work OK. Is AutoGK compatible with the latest xvid or is there something I have missed?

Gazza

[vio_man]

Auto GK is not compatible with the 1.0 beta XviD version, and it will not be. When a stable release come out it will be compatible then.

[doubleJ]

Hello...
I was wondering whether xvid, vobsub, and/or avisynth were required for autogk to work for a 1 cd divx with mp3 audio and subtitles. How about for a 2 cd divx with ac3 and subtitles?
Thanks...
JJ

[Doom9]

vobsub is required for subs (doesn't the name already tell you that?) avisynth is required for everything and the codecs are required as you use them. xvid output without an xvid codec installed will obviously fail, and the same goes for divx output without the divx codec installed.

[dosdan]

The bug appears to be in vdubmod 1.5.10.1. Both it and 1.5.4.1 show the length of Movie.avi as 144012 frames when I just load movie.avi. But when running lastjob.vcf and spliting off CD1, CD2 or CD3 it shows the total number of frames to be processed as 184,371 each time, 28% bigger. Each CD.avi is turning out 132% or so bigger that the original unsplit movie.avi, instead of 33% as you would expect.

Encoded the same already ripped file set with DVD2SVCD. It got it right, Spanish selected, Spanish subs as output. Would you like to take a look at the IFO? What do you need?

Can you post stream info file generated by DVDDecrypter here, please ?

No, I'm not in a control of VDubMod and can't suppress error from there. Although I really wonder why you're having problems at all? Did you use all the tools provided with AutoGK? (i.e. codec+avisynth+vdubmod combination). If not I strongly suggest you do that, coz seems you're the only one who have such problems.


Yes, all above installed. Maybe, the problem is because I'm using Win98SE...

thanks as always. I had used GK for 10 movies, and GKfast4u for 2 movies, last night I tried AutoGK 0.66 for Fight Club.

as 0.4x, I used 2cd for one movie, and it created 3 files avi (one 1.4gb avi, then 2 x 1cd files, it had some problem of disk space for me, and I also need split subs for the 2 cd files, I had difficulties sync. the time for cd2....

so, this time, I used Custom size of "1400mb" option below rather than the 2cd option, hoping it will save some space and when I do the split, I can manually control the sub's time...well, this morning I still saw 3 files, 1 1.36gb avi 1st came out, then 2 1.83gb files each, named cd1, cd2, I browsed these 2 files, found them still the whole movie, and sounds like latter part of these two files having no sound...

strange?I wonder why it still had 2 cd1/cd2 files after the correct 1.36gb file, and these two files are of in-correct content(same full length move)/length(1.83gb each)/sound(partly no sound)...will this be fixed? thank you again.
