undersized file w/ multiple audio

[videoslicker]

i encoded an anime dvd w/ jap & eng soundtracks at 700mb and 1120mb settings, both resulting in undersized files; respectively 611mb and 944mb.

The only thing i see funny about the logs is that audio1 is listed as different sizes.

The source dvd is a burned dvd that was compressed to fit onto a 4.5GB dvdr.

edit: i just read the thread below about undersized file and will be re-loading my autoGK install w/ the proper xvid version. piror to this debacle, i upgraded my codec pack to only include ffdshow.

Hi and welcome to the forum,

AGK is doing it's best on these encodes and having a too big gap between the comptest and expected quality of the first pass values, re-runs the 1st pass; same applies for 1st and 2nd encode.

If I had this problem, I would reserve the audio for the 2nd track and make an encode (with lower size) for the first track only and mux the second track afterwards. If no good or if you are not familiar with these manuals operations see next tip.

By trial and error you could try a fixed width size so that AGK doesn't re-run the first pass and end- with a not-undersized file
First encode +- 560 fixed width (in advanced settings, fixed width)
Second encode +- 576 fixed width

Let us know if success.

everything's working fine since i reinstalled AGK.
