AutoGK Output filesize inconsistancy

[steveh2001]

Hi, i recently tried out AutoGK, to quickly encode some frasier episodes to xvid, its pretty basic in the options so i dont know how and why it goes wrong, but i cant get consistant file sizes on completion. Firstly i selected 350mb eps and they gave me 140mb eps which then seemed more sensible anyway as they were 22min long. So i wanted the rest to be around 140 mb, so i selected 1/4 cd, 175 mb preset and it gave me 200mb, then i tried 140mb on the manual file size and it gave me 90! This is really annoying me as it takes 2 hrs to wait to see what file size im going to get!
Any ideas?
Cheers
Steve

Hello, and welcome to the forum-

Do you have a log for one of the encodes? That would help to diagnose the problem.

[steveh2001]

Hi, Thanks for the reply,

Unfortunatly in fustration i deleted all the logs, but i am doing another encode now which finishes in 30 mins or so so ill post the log then,

Thanks

Hi Manono,
Below is the log file, i set autogk at 175 mb, and the o/p file was 113 mb,
This was closer to what i wanted then before but still not coming out what it is supposed to. Ideally i would like to set the size using the manual option, at 140mb, but as i said before it didnt work.
Hope you can help!

Cheers
Steve

Hi-

This is XviD, so did you have one of the older XviD codecs installed earlier? And did you completely uninstall it before installing XviD 1.0 or 1.01? You have to do that. For more information, please see 6.3 of the AutoGK FAQ. (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=72679)

[steveh2001]

I thought i had, but ill have another try uninstalling the whole lot and then reinstalling xvid 1.0 then gk rip pack, then autogk

[steveh2001]

I uninstalled all xvid codecs/decoders that i had installed, and deleted any remaining xvid related files, purged the registry of xvid related entries and re-installed autogk which had xvid 1.0 included as far as i can tell, restarted the computer and am now setting up a new encode and will see what happens...

Cheers
