...sorry, I'm just curious: on what PC did you run that? I see more than 1 hour to demux vobs and 5 hours to make the comp-test?!

[hazbin]

The movie is on an extern HD, and my PC works only with USB1...
Thank for your interest

[nullstuff]

...the way you did it (setting output AVI file on external HDD) makes AutoGK put all temp stuff on the same, slow, device. @ that speed, it will take 4 days (!) to complete encoding. try to move the data onto an internal HDD.

I'm going to do what you say.
Thanks for your help.

Thank for your help

[nullstuff]

...it seems some compatibility problem between AutoGK & DivX. btw, I see the comp-test taken 8 hours to complete!? something is absolutely wrong here... have you tried to encode with XviD?

-- nullstuff

[hazbin]

No, I don't know Xvid. Does this encoding file play in an ordinary player ?
Thanks for your answer.

[nullstuff]

...yes. XviD should play well on all stand-alone players that can read DivX. for maximum compatibility I recommend to enable the "ESS stand-alone support" option in hidden settings of AutoGK (accessible via CTRL+F9).
