Sorry - again: GKnot and heavily undersized files

[Apsara]

Hi,
I have a problem using GKnot: I made a lot of mpeg2 (~1,5 gb) -> avi (xvid, ~800 mb)) with the "standard settings" of the "Gordian knot illustrated guide by dap & JS".
So far it worked very well - but since some days it always makes avi's with an file size of about 150 mb, although I expected the usual 700 mb. I tried several "standard" mpeg2's - always the same problem.
I use the "Gordian Knot Codec Pack 1.9" and "GordianKnot0.35".

Can anybody help ??

Thanks !

Have you changed any settings within the XviD codec? You might try the unrestricted preset.

[Apsara]

No, I haven't changed anything within the codec. But I have installed AutoGK several weeks ago - for comparison purpose. Perhaps thgis is the reason.
I will uninstall anything an try it again with a fresh install.
Thanks

Try the unrestricted preset first - open Gordian Knot and click the Options tab, then click the First Pass XviD button and select "(unrestricted)" in the first drop-down list and click Ok. Repeat for the Second Pass.

Hi.

I have the same problem. I configure avi to 700MB, at the end i get like 615MB...
And I can't find this "(unrestricted)" under xvid options (xvid 1.1)

[CWR03]

If you're using Gordian Knot and you've clicked either First Pass or Second Pass under "XviD default codec settings in the Options tab, the (unrestricted) is the last one under the Profile @ Level dropdown list.

I uninstalled my xvid and installed new one and now i have this "unrestricted". I'll try with this too.

Nope, that didn't help... Its stil cca 600MB :/
