AutoGK

Hi Everyone
Big thanks to the programmers who designed this tool!! :)
This program is better than alltoavi but it still needs work.

These Problems Should Be Fixed
1. I had a avi file and size was 875MB trying to get it to 700MB or 698MB so I can burn it to cd, but it finished fast and did nothing. All AVI files should work!

2. I had a film with 1.36GB, it was not longer than 1:35 minutes trying it get it to 700MB when it finished the guys hand in the film was like it was getting wide. So I keep the 1.36GB.
The output should keep the film the same quilty or better.

3. It should also support more input files like mpg, it sucks to use a video converter when this program supports putting in your own size you like, audio and height and width.

Hopefully One Day This Program Gets Completed!!

1: multiple re-encodings are always a bad idea. get your original and encode from it.
2: the output will never be the same or better than the original. welcome to the lossy encoding world.
3: AFAIK the autogk development is dead.

That's impossible. You're making a copy of a copy. You will always lose quality when re-encoding, plus if you'd read the documentation and the forum rules 1 and 1a, you would have learned how to use AutoGK to not muck up the aspect ratio.

All AVI files should work!
It should also support more input files like mpg
AutoGK was intended primarily for DVD to AVI conversion. You should be grateful for what it can do, and does for free, instead of complaining about what it can't. There are plenty of other applications that can do what you want, many of which are freeware and available from this site.

And it already supports MPG input. Development is complete. It does what it was designed to do. If it doesn't do other things, it's not intended to do them.

Thank You all for the reply's :)

the beta might support mpg version 2.45 doesn't. Not complaining, this tool is great and it will come in handy when I start ripping my DVD's. I never custom the aspect, it does it by itself. If I wanna custom it I use a video converter.

so guys what tool would be the best to use when the film is to big to fit on one cd? you guys said re-encoding a film is not good quilty will be lost so what should I do?

[CWR03]

Convert directly from the source instead of from AVI files.

As already suggested, read the forum rules (http://forum.doom9.org/forum-rules.htm) where you will note that #12 says "Do not ask what's best."

AutoGK will handle MPEG-2 files, but not MPEG-1.

Hi!so guys what tool would be the best to use when the film is to big to fit on one cd?In this day and age, with blank DVD media typically actually costing less than blank CD media, why limit yourself to a CD-filesize and lower quality results?

Your wrong, AutoGk handles MPEG-1 natively right from the start.
