xvid resolution change (800 to 720 or under): autogk and problem

[kthan]

I have Philips 5960 player and it cannot read xvid with resolution 800 or higher. So, I need to change the resolution of the xvid files into 720 or under.

After some research, I found that AutoGK is the right program to do it. Then, I succesfully changed the resolution on some files. But, on other files (they are all DD 5.1 ch AC3), they got error message "AVIoutputwav: file name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect). I found one thread that handled this issue. As advised, I demux audio file, convert it to wav/ac3 2ch 224kbps/mp3, and remax/save in virtualdubmod. I stil got same error message.

I was wondering if AutoGK is still the easiest/best option to change the resolution (only, nothing else) of xvid files.

Also, any solutions to clear the above error message in AutoGK?

Hi and welcome to the forum,

Have you tried to make the file/directory/volume names Dos naming compliant? (no spaces, - , / , * etc...)

... As advised, I demux audio file, convert it to wav/ac3 2ch 224kbps/mp3, and remax/save in virtualdubmod. ...
There is no need to do that, AGK handles ac3-2ch or more (with xvid) perfectly. Could you give a link to that thread to check the issues?

Thanks for quick reply.

I double checked that the file name syntax. Everything looks fine to me. There's no difference between the two types (working xvids and error-generating xvids, both resolution 800 or over, the first one works fine in AutoGK, and the second got errors...they are all 5.1 AC3 DD 448k).

Here is the linke (http://forum.doom9.org/archive/index.php/t-92662.html) for possible solution.

I am currently trying to use AVIRecomp. I will post it once I've done.

Ok, you may want to try:

- Find more specs from the new GSpot 2.60 to track the differences from working to non-working avis
- Re-encode from the orginals DVD (as you're supposed to have them...)
- Use another app

I quickly viewed it. It seems the issue were QPEL/GMC and DTS to MP3 or VirtualDub not being able to handle DTS/AC3 -> VirtualDubMOD does handles these audio formats in videos.

Hmmm, quite a difficult way to resize a XviD ?

Try using AviSynth (it on the doom9 forum too);
Demux the audio from your original;
Open your source through AviSynth (with the option to open it without audio)
Do a resize, There are several ways (bilinear, Lanczos etc)
Open the AviSynth script in VirtualDubMOD (== VDM) add the original audio-track (-> add stream) and (re)encode with XviD.

Yes, you will have to learn how avisynth works .... and guess what you allready use it and have it on your HD .... AGK makes use of it by way of generating AviSynth scripts and loading them into VDM (AGK probably does what i mentioned above).

And Yes you'll have to learn how to work with VDM and XviD.

But take it from me; If you know how it works, you'll be a happy camper. Because there is allmost no video-problem you cant solve anymore.

Btw: It isn't even hard :)
