Converting DVD to Xvid - undersized file with AutoGK 2.47b

[anlick]

Looks like I encountered another case which results with undersized file.

Here is what I did:
1. Wanted to convert DVD to XviD. Loaded *.IFO file
2. Selected size, picture width/length and VBR mp3 bit rate
3. On advanced page I selected "force cartoon mode" and "ESS standalone support" check boxes

After converting 2 DVDs my 2 output files were both around the same size ~600MB. However I opted one to be 700Mb and the other to be 800Mb big!? Looks like user's input has not effect on the final file size.

Regards!

p.s. Log files available if required

Post your logfiles, please.

Here is the log. Note that in this particular case final output size was 600Mb and I originally set 800Mb big file.

It seems to me you've got the same problem as shown here:

Read the suggestions..

Yup. It turns out everything works well with 2.40. I thought these problems were fixed in 2.47b version.
