If possible, how can I disable crop, so subtitles from TV are not cut in half (mpg to xvid avi with 1.30b)?

this does not make any sense since by definition B-frames have much less bits in them then P-frames, so whatever you imagine looks better - actaully not (please do some search on the topic)

well, we have to do something about this, but I'm not sure disabling cropping is the best way to go. You seem to have black bars on top and bottom, right? Subs are only in the bottom space, so top one can be still eliminated. So can you open avs file in VDubMod and try playing with threshold parameter of autocrop to see if you can find the value which doesn't cut off the subs. Tell me then.

Yes, in fact I did 2 runs, one at 1/3 CD and one specifying 233 megs. Both came out the same size, 142 megs. I used default settings, Auto width, Xvid, Auto audio, no subs.

Please see the log here

Thanks for your help.

len0x, just to let you know... saying what you said above is sort of misleading and is probably why so many people still post with that problem.

You might want to start saying 'Make sure your Web Browser can send the REFERER field.' or something similar. Otherwise the download managers/firewalls thing leads you on a wild goosechase.

I had problems downloading until I finally figured it out that TabBrowserExtensions installed with Mozilla Firefox was turning the Send Referer field off. I installed the PrefButtons plugin and put a 'Send Referer' checkbox on my browser whenever I need to download files on sites that check for that.

I admire your patience on this wrong xvid installs thing.
Should have come to my mind after so many inqires on bad file sizes.
Anyway, your experience is awesome.
Thanks!

@PanthraxBW
The powerunite on my video pc has just crashed yesterday with smoke and lightning. The only difference in your settings I can recall from my memory is, I have the Mod32 fix mark ticked.
And you don't have to put VobSub in 'Overrides' on MPC.
If there are any subtitles in a movie, they are shown.
On burned in subtitles you will not see the filter dialog,
only on external subtitles there will be a green arrow icon in your systray, indicating that Vobsub is working.
So for the next days, I can't help until the Powerunite is repaired
(living up in the country).
Try and experiment on your own.

Cheers

Taurus

Jawor's CVS Build

AutoGK supports XviD 1.0 Jawor's CVS Build?

I wouldn't know as I haven't tried. In any case if you're looking for bugfixes to 1.0, then almost all of them do not affect settings AutoGK is using anyway or is any other reason for using Jawor's builds ?

you probably right, but since I have never used browsers/firewalls which block referrers - I could not describe this better.

That was it. However, I did take a quick look through the FAQ, and didn't realize that not uninstalling Xvid was problematic. You might want to change Q6.3 or add a generic line that says "I'm getting wierd file sizes". I'm sure I'm not the only one who has had this problem, looked at the FAQ, and still didn't know how to fix the problem. Otherwise, thanks for pointing that out.

I do not know much about this and have only tried one mpg file, but this is the result for me:

20=Cuts a little bit off
18=Cuts a little bit off
17=OK
16=OK
15=OK
14=Show both top + buttom
10=Show both top + buttom

So, I guess 16 is good for me - but probably not for all!

"samples=5" is most likely too low a value for clips with subs.

Perhaps no crop (can top crop be done alone?) is the best solution?

@ Lenox:
Have you ever thoght of doing a second first pass when the expected quality of first pass size is far away from the predicted comptest value?
I'm asking, because I encoded some short music videos and the compressibility test was very inaccurately!

Thanks anyway

No, the best solution would be to allow override of samples and threshold parameter via hidden option file (which I plan to do for the next version).

On a short sources 5% can be not enough for comp test. But I'm curious to see how big difference is? (Recently I found a bug which prevented soft matrix to be used when in fact it was shown in the logs, so it could be you just ran across this problem).

i also thought about that before. if the full first pass indicates a compression value that would actually change the resolution if it had come out in the comp. test, it would make sense to run another first pass at that resolution. personally i would rather run that pass again then loose quality.

Custom size 1.4 Gb

The following "feature" has bugged me for some time:
When running AutoGK with 1.4GB custom size I get what I ask for but also a "two-cd-split" automatically. Is this intentional? If you want the split files you can choose the "predefined 2 CD option" instead.
Thanks for a great program!

There is no difference between 2CD and 1400Mb custom size in terms of physical value of the size, so its impossible to distinguish those cases. Just select 1401 or 1399Mb in order to not split the output.

its tricky to define the deviation. upto 5% is very common and will result in lots of rerun of the first pass without actual need.

version 1.35 beta is up

I've re-written resolution choosing algorithm completely, so please give it a good testing. Also TS support if finally officially there.
