Problem - frame cropped and length truncated

[vinnieuk]

Hi,

I sort of had this problem before and corrected it OK, but this time doing the same thing didn't work.

I have a DVD title of about 20 minutes long. I do the usual rip to HD with DVD Decrypter and then encode with AutoGK.
However, this time the frame size chosen was 640 x 416 rather than the expected 640 x 480 (source is 4:3). The pixels are removed from the bottom of the frame.

When I had this happen previously I went into the hidden options and set the autocrop threshold to 0 (from 34).

I re-encoded and the frame size was then correct - 640 x 480, however the length of the video was truncated, instead of encoding the entire video it stopped at about 16 minutes.

Does anyone have any ideas?
Should I post a log file?

I've searched the forum as much as I can but can't find any other post with a similar problem.

Ahh, I've just realised that the encode I did that had a cropped frame was also truncated in duration.

So setting the autocrop threshold to 0 seems to fix the frame cropping but the video is still cut short no matter what i do.
