Auto Gordian Knot: current version 2.55 - Page 61

I am more of a DIVX over XVID kinda person purely for compatibility issues, but this post intrigued me.

Quote:

how will auto GK detect if it's an animated or live movie and enable 'cartoon mode'?

What exactly is "cartoon mode"? Does this produce much higher quality than using Divx on cartoons? The panning scenes in cartoons are the biggest problem I have when ripping. Does Xvid in cartoon mode solve this?

Hi-

The panning scenes in cartoons are the biggest problem I have when ripping.

What are you asking about? The slight jerkiness during a panning scene of a cartoon or anime? If so, then that's a result of cartoons/anime frequently being drawn at 8 or 12fps. If it's something else, then here's a discussion of what cartoon mode does:

@len0x

Can you put, like you made for CD, in the comboBox of the output size / Predifined Size options to 1/4, 1/3 and 1/2 DVD (1 dvd = 4700MB)i think many people are buying or thinking to buy dvd burners (i am

) and this will be a cool option

...and simple to implement, i think...

Thanks...

Important thing are:

Lets go from there.

P.S. you can try extracting besweeet 1.5b24 into besweet dir and see if that fixes your problem. But I'm really curious what's happening there anyway.

Hi,

Sorry for not responding sooner. I tried extracting 1.5b24 into the besweet directory and it still crashes midway through mp3 encoding. This happens with both vbr and cbr encoding.

No, the audio file is not 4Gb in size. Yes, the resulting MP3 plays fine, but is too small because besweet crashes midway through.

Here's a logfile I just got with 0.86 alpha:

EDIT 1-20-2004: My appologies for not reading the tutorial, which clearly states XVid 1.0 betas are not supported yet. Definately looking forward to this in the future though.

AJ Bertelson · 18th January 2004, 05:50

Great tool, just batched up 7 files and they all turned out great.

Just love this tool!

silver_cpu · 18th January 2004, 06:14

alfredska: I've gotten that same error, and I can't get rid of it no matter what material I convert (different sources) or what settings I use (I tried all auto, and a few others).

If anyone else has reached a workaround, I'd love to know it.

manono · 18th January 2004, 09:48

Hi-

Unless something's changed recently, AutoGK doesn't support XviD 1.0, any beta. Roll back to Koepi's 6/24/2003 and see if that helps.

well, analysis doesn't work for you anymore. Did you upgraded avisynth to 2.5.4 RC1 when installing 0.86a ? Try opening _.avs file in vdubmod manually - may be you'll get more meaningful errors there...

Did you try manually encoding ac3 file into mp3 with BeSweet(GUI) with the same parameters? May be you can find parameter which causes that...

thx for the hint. i got it to work again: reinstalled avisynth, that didn't help, but now i got the error-message, that vdub crashed caused by divx.dll, dunno why. never use dixv, but afaik it is used to read the colourspace avisynth puts out, not sure though. so i installed divx and everything works fine. strange...

If AutoGK finds divx.dll then it uses it as YV12 decoder, if it doesn't then xvid.dll is used for that. Improper divx install/uninstall can cause problems I guess...

len0x · 18th January 2004, 21:10

I found a problem and you will never believe but it was caused by chroma optimizer option turned on for xvid. Without it I'm having perfect changes of size like r2d6 was experiencing before (thanks to him for mentioning that it was working at some point - that's why I went and looked what was changed in codec settings).

New beta will be out tomorrow.

mgargett: Although AutoGK is not designed for this, I've found it to be useful for encoding ReplayTV files. This thread is getting so large that you probably missed my posts on pages 57 & 58:

http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...&pagenumber=57
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.ph...&pagenumber=58

I recommend using your favorite DVD authoring software to first author a DVD from a random mpeg2 file. Then use the VIDEO_TS subdirectory as a universal template and simply paste new mpeg2 files into it and rename as a vob. Sometimes shortcuts named "VTS_01_1.VOB" help.

Although, not exactly a guide

, you should be able to figure out a good method from my posts. If the default cropping threshold of 35 doesn't work for you, you can change it to something else (60 works for me) and finish the job with GKnot. Or just live with the mis-cropped video...or wait for threshold to be included in an upcoming AutoGK config file feature.

irnbru · 19th January 2004, 10:56

hi sorry I don't know if someone already asked this question. I'm french, I would like to learn english so I want my XVID movie to be in english with english subtitles in the video, I don't want the subtitles to be in another file, I want the subtitles to be in the video for good so I can play the movie with subtitles anywhere I want (like my DVD player)

I tried to encode with the english subtitles by selecting english in subtitle track, I went in preview and the video was great with subtitles, BUT when I did the job and got the final movie I didn't get the subtitles

the video is great with good sound but the subtitles are missing

I don't understand why, did I miss something, I noticed Winrar is mentionned, do I really need it (I use powerarchiver) Please Help me I'm lost

Thank you so much

Otherwise your software is great , thank you so much to help newbies like me

Patrica

manono · 19th January 2004, 14:14

Hi irnbru and welcome to the forum.

Go into the Advanced Settings and see if "Use external subtitles" is checked. If it is checked, uncheck it (still choosing the English Subs in the Main Screen), and then the subs should be embedded or "burned" into the video. That's about the only thing I can think of that might cause what you describe. Maybe len0x has a better idea.

And, no, you don't need Winrar unless you want separate (external) subtitles.

I think your English is darn near perfect already.

I saw only one small thing that told me you weren't a native English speaker.

irnbru · 19th January 2004, 15:01

hey manono thank you for helping me, you can call me Patricia, irnbru is my favorite soft drink made in scotland even better than Coke!

I have two questions :

- you told me I made one wee bit mistake in my english, where lol

- I realised that I checked in the option "display only forced subtitles", it may be a problem to get the subtitles burned in the movie right? Because forced subtitles are the subtitles you find already in the movie like when they speak in chinese or something, the forced subtitles are not the subtitle stream from the DVD right. If I just select the english subtitles stream in the tracks, and I leave both options "display forced subtitles" "external subtitles" unchecked , it should work right?

thanks for helping me
I hope your co worker in the project will help me too

Kisses Patricia
