Undersized files with standalone support enabled

[KoVaR]

Hello
I'm having a problem with file size when using ESS standalone enabled
Files are very undersized
I did some testing:

First file is ~100 MB (ok!)
Second is 43.5 MB :(
As you can see the undersize is huge; file is 1/2 of what it should be.
What am I doing wrong ?

[CWR03]

Start by uninstalling AutoGK, making sure Xvid uninstalls with it or uninstall it manually, then reinstall. You'll have the undersizing issue if you install Xvid over an existing one.

@KoVaR - You are right. Looks like AutoGK 2.45 has a bug with output file size. I had the same problem with previous installations and was able to overcome the problem by what CWR03 suggested. With 2.45 this does not work. If on Advanced Options page you select "Enable Standalone Support/ESS" output *.avi is always undersized. If standalone support is not enabled everything works like a charm. I wish len0x confirms this is a bug. I may go back to previous version where standalone support worked well :-(

[len0x]

That's an important piece of information. When I checked MTK option it seemed fine, so MTK build is OK. ESS option is actually DivX profile and that seems to have problems in latest celtic_druid's build. I suggest you install 2.40 and don't upgrade XviD that comes with 2.45 for the time being...

P.S. I wonder if celtic_druid is around to comment on this...

[JoLander]

I suggest you install 2.40 and don't upgrade XviD that comes with 2.45 for the time being...

I have exactly the same problem.
Unfortunately, there is no version 2.40 available for download from your homepage.

Could anyone give me a link to that version.....

Greetz,

[JoLander]

Hi,

I've got a version 2.40.
Currently I'm testing whether the filesize will be correct.

If this works, I will upgrade to 2.47b and test again.....

Cheers,
Joe

So Using AutoGK 2.47b (clean install) ESS standalone option enabled I had two DVD to Xvid 350MB encodes work out on size. I was stoked that the latest "Xvid downgrade to make standalone ESS profile work" was working for me.

Then I setup up a DVD to Xvid 700MB last night and ended up with a 551MB output :( I like to have the best possible standalone compatibility so I use the ESS option I am ready to try the MTK/Sigma if it will cure my size issues as long as it works in my old standalones that the kids use.

With the objective of solving the ESS undersize issue here is my logs from last nights adventure. Can anyone see anything I may be doing wrong?

This is even more confusing if that works only half of the times...

[celtic_druid]

DXN profiles force alt2pass code for stricter VBV compliance. Could be that. Would explain why some encodes are undersized and others aren't. If an encode can hit the desired size without breaching VBV values, then it will. Anything other than DXN profiles still uses the default 2 pass code which favours size rather than VBV strictness.

[EvilAaron]

Yes very strange, I need to play around more with using ESS option for when it does and dosn't work out on size.

Of no real surprise the above undersize encode worked out perfectly which ESS disabled and Mediatek/Sigma enabled. All other options the same...

Wish I hadn't scrapped the log from my couple 350MB encodes that worked out on size, but since it worked I wasnt thinking of issues. I could run that source again with same options to recreate perhaps. One thing I recall is that the source for that job was a lecture and easy to compress, so much so that AutoGK disabled b-frames...

To bad the kids standalone is a ESS chipset otherwise I would just use the Mediatek/sigma option and wash my hands of it. Guess v 2.40 will be the solution. Cheers and thx for the great software, always appreciated.

[celtic_druid]

You could try
http://www.fsinapsi.altervista.org/code/avinaptic/index.html

Compare the smaller ESS encode with the larger MTK and see if there are any buffer underflows. Make sure that avinaptic is set to HT. If the MTK encode underflows at all and the ESS doesn't, then I guess alt2pass is doing it's job, perhaps a little too well though judging by the percentage undersized.

The idea was to truely maximise compatibility with the DXN profiles. Better VBV control, no N-VOP's, plus the regular options (forced 1 max bvop, etc.).

[EvilAaron]

I will do that. 1st I will have to reencode the above file with ESS (ya I deleted the undersize result only keeping log lol). As soon as I get home tomorrow I will recreate undersize file and do a comparison with tool in above post, then post back with results.

The resolution shown with AVINaptic differs from the resolution shown by AutoGk.

There is a message regarding a missing key-frame in the beginning of the file (isn't this checked by AutoGk ?).

There are many messages regarding 'buffer underflow'.


Is there anybody who can explain all these strange behaviours ??

Cheers,
joe

[EvilAaron]

You could try
Make sure that avinaptic is set to HT.

I assume "set to HT" is referring to profiles tab under preferences "Home Theatre" setting. If this is not the case please correct me and I will re-compare.

Re-encoded with ESS setting enabled same undersize result as first time.

[adeerre]

Helo.
I have the same problem with 2.40 version, with a film 1:40 min., proyect size 1493 MB, audio VBR 192 kbit
compressibily test: 140%
after the ferst pass: espective quality 104% (i guess this is the problem)
result: undersize(-100 MB aprox)
my solution:add a second sound chanel. Result: compressibily test under 100%, final proyect size OK!! but whith 2 chanel audio and the video quality not the same,
Less than i expect

ESS standalone activate, codec xvid

sorry for my english

[Pulp Catalyst]

same thing happened to me, 2.48, Xvid MTK recommened by len0x,

interlaced material, ESS selected, target size 700MB,

file came out at 551mb, weird, as i was on the clock, i had to use Fairuse Wizard instead,

be nice to know what is causing this however, weird how ESS option can cause so much trouble,

[paolocorpo]

I have the some issue
2.48 beta
If I choose an Xvid of 2Gb i obtain a file sized 500 or 800 Mb maximun
I tried to unistall and reinstall without success
Any idea?
I noted that at the end of first pass the dmension is right; at the end of second pass teh dimension is smaller than i choose

[s3rious]

As far as i know if you want to use the ESS option in AutoGK then you better use the Xvid supplied with AutoGK . If you are using any other Xvid version like me (i use Xvid 1.1.2) then you shouldnt use the ESS or MTK option in AutoGK i.e Disable it or else you will get undersized files

May thanks for yout help
I tried to use GK 0.35.0 but i have the some issue
So now i am fixing the problem using the DivX encoder: i obtain files correctly sized as i have choosen (2000 Mb in my case) without errors in dimension.
I don't know why but Xvid encoding chnage (only after second pass) completely the dimension and the quality (obviously) of file encoded.
