Hi,
It's my first post here. I searched to see if I could find anything on this but to no avail.
I've got a French movie (Taxi) with hard coded English subtitles but can't seem to get AutoGK to compress it properly. I originally copied the contents from a friends DVD to my HD before I found out about this program (AutoGK). :)
I can perfectly compress the film into one CD with XViD, MP3 with excellent quality (the DVD's originally got AC3 2.0 audio which I changed to MP3) as it's only 1 hour 26 mins. The problem is this: whenever it compresses the movie it chops the bottom of the subtitles off. I've looked in the log file and AutoGK does indeed see it as 4:3 (because of the hard-coded subs) but when it compresses it it makes it widescreen. The film is still at the correct aspect ratio but as I say it cuts off the bottom couple of rows of pixels of the subs off which means the tails on letters such as y and g etc. are missing. Infact come to think of it it might have chopped a little bit off of the top of the film image but i'm not sure about this.
It's not a major problem but I was just wondering if it's possible to get it to encode at full screen (4:3) as opposed to saying it's 4:3 and encoding it at 16:9. :confused:
Many thanks in advance,
Tony
