Has anybody got some contact with the GK translators ?

Sorry. Only today i had contact with this. I am a GK Portuguese translator and translating now your GKMod.

Wait for a few days more.

Regards.

Redin

[gizmo27]

Ok, thank you a lot

[Redin]

Has anybody got some contact with the GK translators ?

Some kind of tabs it is not possible to modify the text for translation in especific section.

Tab Ripping:
All sections "Rip Vob's"
Prepare the Vobs
Subltitles

Program Paths:
All section and all 3 tabs.

For now i have 90% translated. Only this problem to make 100% done.

Regards.

I think you should ask the source code to Kurtnoise13;)

Hi, would it be possible to change gk so it can run several instances at the same time? I got a quadcore and one xvid encode doesnt use more than 30% CPU power so i could easily run 3 encodes at the same time if i could run gk 3 times.

[Stormshadow]

Will there be a full stable rel at the end??? with updated versions of all the software in the pack just like the GordianKnot RipPack 0.35.0 Setup 2 exe, cause i can't get anything in the new version to work atm. (so i un-installed it again)

[gizmo27]

are you talking about the GKMod ?
a new version should be released. but I don't know when.
x264 cli seems not to work, isn't it ?

[len0x]

where is the source code for the mod?

[Redin]

I think you should ask the source code to Kurtnoise13

Greetings

[gizmo27]

Could adding avidemux in the package be usefull ?

[gizmo27]

Is there any freeware which is usefull to cut vob, I mean to extract one part without re-encoding ?
something with enought precision which permits you to jump at one frame or a time, something like virtualdub/vdubmod ?

[buzzqw]

avidemux could be used by command line to cut/encode...

[gizmo27]

I'd like to update Besweet. But there's a problem : in the most recent besweet there's not "azidts.exe" : is it very useful for a besweet good working ? where can I find an azidts.exe updated version ?

[buzzqw]

what about replacing besweet with wavi + soundout + nicaudio/bassaudio ?

less application and no need of .Net

BHH

[gizmo27]

It seems to be a good idea but in a first time I'd like to update besweet.
Is "azidts.exe" necessary ?

[buzzqw]

afaik only to process dts audio

you can look to autogk folder.. for dtsdec.exe

BHH

[gizmo27]

I'm not sure to understand : dtsdec.exe=azidts.exe ? That's it ?

[buzzqw]

dtsdec will produce wav file

BHH

[gizmo27]

is usefull to put it with besweet + besweetGUI ?
you can produce a wav file with besweetgui too, no ?

waiting an answer, this is test_GordianKnot.RipPack.0.35.0.Setup.3b2.exe (http://gordianknot.free.fr/gordian_knot_tests/test_GordianKnot.RipPack.0.35.0.Setup.3b2.exe)
: here no modification excepted Besweet update (to 1.5b31) and Belight remove
have fun !

[avdw]

Do any of these tools work with latest Xvid ?

[gizmo27]

yes of course
no problem

[gizmo27]

I'm praying that the Father Christmas bring us a very very biautiful (GK 2008:rolleyes:) present !
Let's go guys ! Pray with me !

[gizmo27]

Do you use the soundout plugin (avisynth) for audio encoding ?

[buzzqw]

i use soundout for automkv (mp3/ac3/wav)
oggenc for ogg
nero/cct aac for aac audio

BHH

[gizmo27]

Do you think it would be usefull to include soundout into the Gordian Knot package ?

[buzzqw]

only if used...

but this will change the way gordian know will handle audio...

soundout is powerfull and stable, can be used (with nicaudio) to achieve fast conversion, and all sound fuction from avisynth are avaiable.

don't know... besweet is more "friendly" on stand-alone usage

BHH

[SimonM]

Is it also possible to post feature requests for the new gordian knot in this place?

If yes I had some Ideas.

[medp7060]

You may not know that the development of GK has stopped for a long time. Any feature requests will end up with nothing. Instaed, put your request to AutoGK, you may have achance get it if LenOx,the author is willing to.

[gizmo27]

@Lenox

Have you finally decided to continue the GK "developpement" ?
(I principaly think about the x264 cli support and the add of the AAC overhead calculation (tab "bitrate"))

[gizmo27]

Merry Christmas !

[gizmo27]

Happy new year 2008 !

[gizmo27]

@Jerry_Sm@rt & Redin

Have you managed to traduce all the GKMod, I mean the part which caused to you some matters ?

[Jerry_Sm@rt]

I can not get gkmod working , it seems to be buggy,

not able to encode with x264cli(still GKMod_20070510.zip，

no fix or update） .

I would like to translate GKMOD when it really works.

[gizmo27]

Hi

I'm searching for some voluntary good souls to continue the GKMod project.

It would be cool for this one to see the daylight. I think overall to the x264 cli support ;)

You can find The GKMod source code here ==thanks Kurtnoise13:)==:

http://kurtnoise.free.fr/index.php?dir=misc/&file=GKMod_src.zip (http://kurtnoise.free.fr/index.php?dir=misc/&file=GKMod_src.zip)

Thanks a lot in advance.

[gizmo27]

Persons who have tested GKMod, can you report the bugs here please ?

For example, when you say that GKMod doesn't work with x264 cli, can you report with precision what happens exactly ?

Thanks a lot in advance.

PS : These are some firsts bugs reports :

I've tried GK with x264 vfw and if I stop the first pass before the end, this error message appears :
http://gordianknot.free.fr/gordian_knot_tests/x264vfw_error.gif

When I try x264 cli with GKMod, the "encoding process" is 1 second longer and it doesn't give any mkv :confused:
Using GKMod, this is the log :

[gizmo27]

a question too : when a topic goes over the 2nd page, does it disappears, does it die ?

[somebodeez]

Hello All,
I was wondering if there will be any more modifications?

[gizmo27]

Yes I hope.

The fact that a GKMod has been released means that it means

Please, can some body call David Coperfield ?

[gizmo27]

This is a new GKMod (http://gordianknot.free.fr/gordian_knot_tests/GKMod18072008.zip)
version working with x264 cli avaible for testing

Good luck everybody !

Regards,
Gizmo.

[gizmo27]

Have you got any difficulties with GKMod ?

[somebodeez]

Thank you!

Is there a change log?
I don't use x264. Maybe some day when stand alone players become compatible with it...

[gizmo27]

@Somebodeez

Ever if you don't use x264, can you test x264 please ?
I'd like to know what's wrong

Thanks a lot in advance.

[somebodeez]

I have an appointment to go to today but when I get back, I'll try that.
It's nice to know that when (if?) set top players catch up, GKMod will be ready.:)

[somebodeez]

There are some problems with this mod's GUI:

*.d2v *.avi button is blank

In the Resolution tab, "Input Pixel Aspect Ratio" is blank.
(normally see 16:9 or 4:3 option)

In the Bitrate tab, for Audio 1 and 2, AC3 is not available as an option.

Trying to encode x264 - I really don't know anything about using this codec and I wasn't sure what to pick as far as a container goes so I picked mp4 just to see what would happen.

Couldn't preview at the "Save AVS" screen.
Error message said "Ran out of memory". (I have 2 GBs RAM)

Nothing happened as far as I could see when the job was to start encoding.

Here is what GSpot says about the mp4 file:
File is empty. Its length is zero bytes.
It is blank, barren and bare - vacant, vacuous, and void.
It is a degenerate case.

[gizmo27]

ok I've forgotten to tell you that I'd like you to tests mkv container

and about the x264 cli : it works until the r649 one : over nothing happens... bizarre...

Sure it doesn't work at 200% but I really would like the developpers to correct the bug : just a last time.

I don't have enought knowledge in delphi but I'd like to see a new GK a last time : after I won't say nothing

I'm asking to you GK's fathers : please do something : GKMod can't be let at this status.

I you want the source code, ask it : I'll give to you

Thanks to have the patience to read my post.

[gizmo27]

GKMod will be ready.:) Don't loose any hope

[talen9]

and about the x264 cli : it works until the r649 one : over nothing happens... bizarre...


It's not bizarre: starting from r655 (May 2, 2007), x264 CLI behaviour changed: you have to specify a ratecontrol method (e.g. with "--bitrate XXXX" or "--crf XX.YY", see docs), it doesn't default to "--qp 26" anymore.

[somebodeez]

I'm asking to you GK's fathers : please do something : GKMod can't be let at this status.


Yes, please!
I've looked into other encoding methods but I find myself always returning to GK because IMHO, none other can compare with it.

[gizmo27]

For the last x264 cli version, is this command line is correct ?
--progress --thread-input -B 1378 -p 1 --stats "statsfile.pass" -A "p8x8,b8x8" -b 2 --direct auto --subme 5 --me "hex"
