average quant = ((MaxQuant-MinQuant)/100 * (100-quality)) + MinQuant ... It works? Quote:
The quality mode before XviD 1.0 was quite confusing, people was expecting "something magic" when setting the quality value (but it is really less sofisticated that one would expect). Last edited by jonny; 17th December 2003 at 15:21. |

Say you have average quant which you get from (200/ target quality) in the form of a.bb (where bb are decimal integers) then you set: min quant = floor(a.bb) max quant = ceil(a.bb) xvid quality = 100 - bb this will give you exact average quant as in formula above.

I used to set min quant to 2 in quality mode and then calculate quality using that formula, but then I read that xvid uses only two quantizers during that mode, so we can set them right away...
*Edit* do you know how I came up with that? I'm usually using 2/3 quant and then when I set quality in xvid for 75% I got file sized almost the same as 100% - that was puzzling for a moment

Hello,
Maybe this is a stupid question, but: can I install Nic's DirectShow XviD Filter Decoder (23-02-03) after I installed AutoGK? The codec that AutoGK installs doesn't allow any options (brightness, flip the movie 180 degrees) when I'm watching the movie in Windows Mediaplayer. When I install Nic's DirectShow XviD Filter Decoder after I installed AutoGK, will AutoGK still fuction properly? Thanks |

autogk to support xvid 1.0 (profiles)
Is it to be expected that AGK will support xvid1.0 and its profiles, either now or quite soon... these profiles look quite good in the sense that people who are desperate for a quarter of a pixel can do it and those who like to runGMC can.. Advanced Simple for standalones or Advanced advanced for PC's (god knows what for Xbox)!

Yeah, I have used many previous versions to. I uninstalled the version I was using, installed 0.5 and then 0.75 but nothing is happening.

Doesn't this decoder give the best image quality with Xvid or is it just me? If it is so then, since it has quite a small size maybe you could include it in the installer? Everyone I recomended your program to and tried Xvid encoding for the first time were really impressed by the image improvement they saw on their movies after they viewed them using Nic's Decoder...

A rookie doesn't need to be given the choice of "r3mix" or "alt-preset standard", all that needs to be added to the options (IMHO) is an option to do a quality based encoding (ie. alt-preset standard). It seems a bit crazy to me spending all this effort getting the best results out of the video codec (by doing compressibility tests before choosing the resolution and resize methods and then doing two pass encoding along with making sure it's all nicely deinterlaced), and not having the option to encode the audio at a set quality instead of a set bitrate. |

starting with version 0.77 you should be able to see more meaningful error message.

version 0.77 beta is out
After seeing Return of The King I feel like releasing a new version
many small changes (some of them I probably forgot to add to the history). if no serious bugs are found in the next couple of days this is gonna be released as 0.8.

Hi wertherman-
This is still far better than leaving a full 6 channel ac3 soundtrack in..... Yes, but I was comparing to a 2 channel AC3 (even though I didn't specifically state it), which many DVDs offer along with the 6 channel, and which DVDs of older movies usually offer exclusively. Sure, a 6 channel 448 AC3 is still way bigger then even the highest quality MP3. But I'm not enough of an audiophile to care much about the audio, though. 128 ABR is fine with me for 1 CD rips, and AC3 for 2 CD rips, or higher bitrate MP3 if the video doesn't compress very well. Also, isn't R3Mix encoding quite a bit slower than some of the other presets? Anyway, again, looking at it from a first time user's point of view, I don't think he/she really much cares about the finer points of audio encoding. What's offered already is fine for most people. And those that already know about these esoteric presets, can create them themselves manually, and can also do the video encoding and muxing themselves. If you like to tweak, I don't think this program is for you (like Shuichiro's request to be able to add his logo). Maybe len0x has plans for us to be able to open the .avs prior to the actual encoding, in order to add filters, the way you can with DVD2SVCD. I don't know, but I wouldn't be disappointed if that never became possible. Just as I wouldn't be disappointed if R3Mix or Alt Preset Standard never became available within AutoGK, even if, for example, they were implemented as some sort of 1 to 10 quality based choice. |

Re: Auto Gordian Knot: current version 0.77 beta

very nice Edit: 'n again one question... after analyzing the source/ and determine the bitrate, do you change the codec settings to „paybackwith bias“ for high bitrates (round about above ~900kbs) and/ or leave it to „payback proportionaly“ for bitrates below...?? second one: for the second pass: do you do some two pass tuning?? I mean, do you set the „Below i-frame distance value“ (FPS/2) to 12 for 23.976 FPS, to 13 for 25.000 FPS and to 15 for 29.970 FPS? Respectivly the I-frame bitrate reduction value (FPS) to 24 for 23.976 FPS, to 25 for 25.000 FPS and to 30 for 29.970 FPS?...

could you pls. add this 1x DVD+-R(W) selection in size dialog. It was not a joke asking for that feature, seriously it will help people to avoid making the same mistake I did the first time. If you choose a size bigger than 4090MB you won't be able to put it on a DVD+-R(W) and have to do all over again. Thx. for the wonderful software. It runs like a charm didn't find any major issues so far. mike |

Uninstalled again everything and installed again 0.5 and 0.75 and it's fine now.
I have tested it with Jackass, 1 cd version, XviD It's perfect! Greetz, Zerocoolnl

Audio Sync Problem -- Could Well Be My Fault
Okay, so I've been using AutoGK 0.75 beta to try on some episodes of Evangelion. Video comes out fine, but the audio is not synchronized. Actually I am not at the computer that I did it on anymore (except by remote desktop, since I'm at home for Christmas). But here is my theory: The audio ends up encoding to vbr only like 117kbps (I am using Auto audio settings). I think it is --alt-preset standard? So maybe the stereo channels in this source are very similar and joint-stereo or some part of LAME compresses it very well. But since this is below 128, LAME downsamples. And I think it is documented that downsampling is a bad idea if you want AV-sync. I might be totally wrong, this is what I am guessing. My friend is at that computer, and tried resampling to 44.1, and apparently that solves the sync problems (mostly... maybe we were supposed to do 48?). Is this possible? Does anyone know more about whether this is an AutoGK problem? I think adding a --resample line to the LAME code might help. I have access to the log of the last one if you need it.

Just an idea about quality mode
Hi LenOx, I have not a DVD burner nor a fast pc, but I'd like to use quality based mode to make avis. So it could be an idea to implement, as compressibility test, a prediction size with qb mode, like Enc program by jonny. I know that it could be really difficult and time consuming to find the right % to fit the movie to 1 or 2 cd, but a prediction size could useful (or interesting, at least) to everybody who use qb mode.
Bye, Yotsuya. |

Persistent popup menu
I noticed that when you minimize autogk to system tray and right click on the icon so that the popup menu will come up, if you click anywhere outside the menu boundaries, it does not go away. It sticks to the screen until you restore autogk.
Perhaps this article may help you fix that problem: http://smartcard.caret.cam.ac.uk/del...stem-tray.html I have implemented this feature on some of my own code following those guidelines and it works like a charm. Congrats for such a great, time saving application! Last edited by gircobain; 19th December 2003 at 02:35. |

file subs.settings can be put in input dir manually which contains two lines: first line Angle (0 if none), second PGC. Then AutoGK can pick them up on the fly...
