AutoGK XviD Frame Off Center

[thebigoc5]

I am trying to encode an extra from a dvd.

I am using autogk with xvid and i noticed that the frame which is centered on the vob is offset left on the xvid. i screen capped using vlc to show what i mean.

Notice the original

and the xvid encoded

it seems like it took the space on the left and moved it to the right
the original vob is 720x540
the xvid is 720x544

Does anyone know what the problem could be or how to remedy it?

Disable cropping and that should fix your problem. Here, a black border on the left was cropped but the corresponding border on the right was not. It seems to me that the frame of the film was matted this way for artistic reasons - and in fact if this interview/commentary is mixed with other footage, you'll probably be cropping actual content from those other segments.

Thanks for your help.

In autogk would i disable auto crop by accessing the hidden options and "force cropping of 0" on all sides?

Also i tried encoding with divx and it displayed the way it was supposed to...

DivX 720x480
