autogk 2.06 bad output AR

[bassgoonist]

since i upgraded to 2.06 all my movies are getting cropped to 4:3 if they're 16:9. Why is this? I look at the input vobs in powerdvd, they're 16:9. But the restulting avi is a CROPPED 4:3. Why is it doing that?
edit: btw autogk says its 16:9 when I'm setting up the job...

Weird indeed. Initially I was thinking maybe you had accidently set the override for the input AR to 4:3 in the hidden options, but you haven't.

Everything looks normal in the log. But, the following line in the .avs looks suspicious:

input_par = (input_par < 1.4) ? input_par : (4.0/3.0)

I haven't upgraded to 2.06b nor is in a position to, right now. Tomorrow I will upgrade and test. But maybe len0x would have an answer by then anyhow.

[bassgoonist]

I do have the option on to detect if the AR is close to 4:3 and force 4:3...cause sometimes backing up tv eps I'd get 1.27 and weird stuff...but that should effect this...but is it?

[unskinnyboy]

Ah ok..So that's why the code in .avs. Coz I wondered why 4:3 even came into the picture. Can you turn that off and try? I don't see how that option could affect this encode, but still...

[bassgoonist]

diabling that seems to have worked, is it the new version that screwed up? or the dvd was fluxored?

[unskinnyboy]

You did say that this was happening to -every- 16:9 movie of yours, right? So probably the 2.06b build has a bug when that particular hidden option is used, otherwise I don't see why the tool should detect the source AR of 16:9 as 4:3 and force it to that.

But again, lets wait for what len0x has to say. Maybe there is something here we are overlooking.

[len0x]

hidden option only enables that AVS line. and that line was always there in version 1.95 without any problems. I didn't touch resizing algorithm after 1.95.

[unskinnyboy]

Then how did a 16:9 DVD end up as 4:3 avi? :confused:

[len0x]

Having a closer look at avs line in question - its clearly wrong :)
less sign should be replaced by more... (I was messing around with that line and its not even what is supposed to be there)

[unskinnyboy]

bassgoonist's place in the next AutoGK beta testing team is ensured. :D

[cyberVera]

I also have a similar problem.
More and more often while loading a movie with 16:9 ratio, AutoGK considers it as 4:3.
DVD Decrypter file clearly says it is 16:9. AutoGK video info panel states the same, but analysing the source it decides all of a sudden "4:3" and ... the output is stretched. I would understand such free behavior in File mode, but in DVD mode, with Stream Information file ... ??? Now I force AR before encoding for every job according to Video info tab, to be on the safe side :-)
