Auto Gordian Knot: current version 2.55

[btothec2]

Vdubmod starts with affinity set to both processors on my machine. This is a real dual cpu machine not a HT machine, which is I believe your setup correct?

AutoGK 1.19 seems to work ok on my HT Cpu now. All though it does not seem to utilize both cpu's. Still it does not crash anymore. Thanx so much

BTW. Where do you guys see the affinity setting in VdubMod ?

From the AutoGK Website:

*EDIT* silent update was done to 1.19 since queue wasn't working at all in the first 1.19 I put online. sorry about that

So try downloading 1.19 again and see if it works now...

I've used every version of AutoGK over the past many months, with nary a problem. On Saturday and Sunday I encoded this same movie 4 different times in v-1.18 with various settings (credits, no credits, forced ivtc, auto-everything), and *no problem at all*, every one of them ran smoothly. Yesterday I had to reapply Win2kSP4 and reinstall DirectX9. Today I decided to try encoding the same movie again, and now, no matter what settings I use, I get a Range Check Error and crash *everytime* after the analysis, and immediately as the comptest starts. Every Time! I tried uninstalling AutoGK, reinstalling the v-1.0 stable, (and NOT the aplha xvid), and then the v-1.18 update (of course ensuring that the entire AutoGK directory got deleted after the uninstall). That didn't make any difference, I still get the crash every time. Anyone have any insight? Log file follows...

I tried a completely different movie, to completely different drives (same machine), and had the same crash. So in a fit of rage, I did the following, in this order:

1) uninstalled divx 5.1.1 (from add/remove programs)
2) uninstalled xvid 1.0rc4 (from add/remove programs)
3) uninstalled avisynth 2.5.4 (from add/remove programs)
4) uninstalled autogk 1.18 from it's shortcut

then:

1) reinstalled divx 5.1.1
2) reinstalled xvid 1.0rc4
3) reinstalled AutoGK 1.0 full, everything minus xvid alpha
4) reinstalled AutoGK 1.12 update only
5) reinstalled AutoGK 1.16 update only
6) reinstalled AutoGK 1.18 update only

Now it all appears to work (at least it's running the comptest right now - I'll have to report back later if it finishes completely, but it was failing before the comptest everytime earlier).

If it did get fixed, I have no idea exactly which step above it was that was the cure, but if anyone runs into a simlar problem, give this a shot.

The dual cpu affinity problem is still there, i.e. virtualdubmod launched by AutoGK sets its affinity to 1 cpu only, virtualdubmod launched by GK sets its affinity to both cpus.

did you remove win98 compatibility setting ?

i did test encode now and it uses both cpus

[pindawg]

Has anyone else had a problem with credit mode starting early in the latest release? I just encoded 3 movies, and in all 3 the credit mode started early. I verified the frame number with vdubmod, and the frmae number in the credit file to be correct. ie one movie credits start @ frame 156299, and it appears AGK started credit mode at ~ frame 125088.

Any Ideas??

yes its IVTC applied, you should always supply non-FF (or IVTC-ed) frame number for credits start.

Got it.. Thanks len0x!

Yeah I never used win98 compatibility as I have never bothered enabling HT, however it still see that problem. I'll try reinstalling everything and have a look.

...Or use the frame calculator feature in the 'Hidden Options' tool, just enter the credit start timestamp, and choose NTSC or PAL, and you're done

BTW, the uninstall/reinstall process noted earlier for the 'Range Check Error' worked. Don't know exactly what was pooched, but something sure was.

[RathO]

The hidden options are very hidden since i press ctrl-F9 and nothing appears... why?

Because it's Ctrl-F10

Ctrl-F9 is for a plugin you have to download and place in the AutoGK-Folder.

[RathO]

Ah, the tool is downloadable... should be included in AutoGK by default. Thanks for the fast reply!

Regards

[QNX]

damn.. it works.. don't have troubs anymore with my HT cpu

10x!

[Toge]

will 1.20 be a stable?

[usrbinmadness]

Hello. I enjoy AutoGK for Windows and it works great.

However, I would like to install AutoGK in Linux using WINE, but the installer doesn't appear properly on the screen so I cannot continue with the installation under WINE on Linux, I have to kill the process. I've tried it several times and it continues with this problem*. I have installed Gordian Knot codec pack fine because it uses a different installer. What I'm wondering is if it's possible to release AutoGK with the same installer as Gordian Knot uses? This way I (and many others) would be able to use AutoGK in Linux under WINE. Thanks for reading.

*=I hope this post isn't considered off-topic. I enjoy AutoGK very much but would like to use it in Linux making it available with a different installer (such as the one Winamp has used) would solve the problem I am having.

Errr... AutoGK precisely uses NSIS 2.0 which is also used by winamp and GK's System Pack.
What version of winamp works ? Please try Winamp 5 to see if it is a specific 2.0 problem.

[Carraway]

len0x,

Is there any chance that the maximum fixed width could be increased to 800 as it is in GKnot? I have several 2.35:1 movies that would easily fit on 2 CD's at that resolution but 720 is the maximum autogk will go. This is a relatively minor issue but I figured I'd float the idea for peace of mind. Let me know what you think.

Hi, today trying to connect to autogk web page I have following message: "Fatal error: Call to undefined function: message_die() in /home/len0x/public_html/web/db/db.php on line 88". I must point out, that a few weeks i have terrible problems with downloading files from this site. A few days after each new version (beta) is the server out of order for me. I must download autogk from some Polish site or other site. I´m using Win XP Pro, IE6, broadband connection with personal firewall (blocked refferers, ads.... and so on). What is the problem?



Thanx,

buk
