something definitely went wrong during installation.
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.

Well, that is precisely a filter. Anything that takes a stream of data as input, processes it in some way and delivers an output stream, is a filter.

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.

2 audio tracks

when will there be possibility to make two audio tracks in a movie? I'd like to have this option added in a new release of AutoGK.

thank you Sir

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?...

@len0x:

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.

no, it's always „payback proportionaly“. In fact I'm not really an expert in these settings...

no, I don't do that either. Just checked and in fact I don't see "frame bitrate reduction value" in configuration. Just "frame bitrate reduction %"

damn, where is the attachment button... can't upload an image for you as I don't have webspace

Edit: it's directly under "discard first pass" / "dummy secon pass"

first option is: Below I-frame distance...: [value] 12/13/15
second option is: I-frame bitrate reduction %: [value] 24/25/30

Edit:

the Bitrate payback delay is an option to tweak as well...:

- set the Bitrate payback delay value (FPS) to 240 for 23.976 FPS, to 250 for 25.000 FPS and to 300 for 29.970 FPS.

unfortunately I can only automatically recognize subs from the first PGC
So unless I put an option for manual PGC selection it cannot be done...

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,

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.

Jeez ok no problem. still your program rulez. i understand that it is a bit tricky to predict every dvd format.
GREAT JOB

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!

I might do a quick hack (don't have time for full solution):
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...
