Trailers in Gknot

[Big Cat]

I just realized that Gknot will not allow me to use a file size smaller than 600+ MB. Which is sort of a hassle, as I'm trying to rip a 1 and a half minute trailer to about 25 MB. Any clues ? All help appreciated.

On the Bitrate tab, you can edit the value in the KB or MB field and get to 25MB. You can also enter a specific bitrate and calculate filesize also. To do so, on the same tab, change the mode from "Calculate Average Bitrate" to "Calculate AVI File Size."

On a side note,

If I'm ripping a trailer I generally just leave the file size to whatever it is already set at. When encoding, GKnot will realize that it cant create a 700MB file out of two minutes and use the best possible quality for your trailer and it usually turns out around 35MB depending on the length of the trailer and the audio file size.

Hope this helps!

I had in the mean time figured it out (too impatient, too obsessive). But I thank you for your aid. If I can return the favour let me know.

Thank you for the help, but I rip my movies to 2x650 MB and have 20-25 MB worth of autorun information and software. So that leaves a max space for the trailer of 25, hence the need to edit them to the correct size.
