View Full Version : How do I figure what commands Autogk is running?

I'm trying to figure out where my encoding is going wrong using autogk. I'd like to know just what programs are being run with what inputs so I can read up on what each is doing and try to solve an issue with blue faces I am getting.

I've been searching the archives and haven't run into this being asked in the past (yet).

Any constructive input welcome.

thanks,

AutoGK uses Avisynth, DGIndex, VirtualDubMoD + whatever else you see inside the tools subdirectory. Which amongst those gets invoked (if invoked at all) & what inputs are passed to these programs will depend on what options you have selected for encoding.

What is the problem you are facing? "Blue faces"? Logfiles, source sample etc please, if you want us to take a look.

I'll put together a short test case and post a link to the files.

use processexplorer from sysinternals (it's free) and watch what command line is executed by autogk

Since this thread is directly related to this one (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=113085) in which you've explained that the "blue faces" are only a problem with your hardware player, maybe you should try a different encoding method other than AutoGK to determine for certain that it's not an issue with the player.

Well, after flogging away, I have found I get blue faces if I use auto width in AutoGK. The input file, a 544x480 mpg from my dish networks 508 pvr extracted with pvrexplorer, will play fine on the dvp642 but a xvid or divx avi using auto width will have blue faces.

I set AutoGK to use 640 width and xvid and divx look fine. I have not (yet) experimented with other forced widths.

Oh well, I have a way that works now, I don't understand why, autowidth freaks out my dvp642.

Thanks to all that offered advice,
