auto gk

[paolo78]

this has probably been covered before, but here goes.

i was trying to convert individual episodes of a tv series to avi, i used dvd fab to decrypt and then set the parameters i desired in auto gk. i set the file size to x mb but the final avi is somewhat undersized!

i read through the frequently asked questions section in the auto gk threads and uninstalled auto gk & associated programmes such as divx and re-installed auto gk & the newest divx i could find online but still the file is 80% of what i desired!

odd, i know though when the file is played back it appears to work fine!

has anyone else encountered this? if so how can it be fixed? its the first time i have had this happen to me and i have successfully converted loads of dvds to avi's

posting a log of autogk could help
