How GKnot handles trimmed from DVD2AVI projects???

[dwrbudr]

Hello there!

I used DVD2AVI to create a .d2v project for Lord Of The Rings 1 Extended Version - the 2nd DVD. I set the movie start and end frame directly from DVD2AVI, so the end was the time when the credits start. The 2nd DVD full movie part was 1:57m, and the 'trimmed' one - 1:31m. So I saved the .d2v file and opened it from GKnot. GKnot reported all just fine - the frames, and time 1:31m.
So I set GKnot 0.28 - Beta 2 to produce 795MB final file, and manually select the mp3 file - it was 75MB mp3. With the overhead about 9mb - the video size in GKnot was 711MB, and in encoder options of XVID 2nd pass (koepi 05/04/2003) was 711.3MB. Till here - everything was OK, but the final VIDEO size was not 711MB, but 621MB!
So my question is what's the difference between the case when I trim the credits right from DVD2AVI, and when trim credits from GKnot Save .avs dialog?

The benefits to trim credits from DVD2AVI is that I doesn't have to encode about 25-30 min AC3 to MP3.

What am I doing wrong in the whole procedure?

Thanks to all in advance...

have a look at xvid forum - ppl have the same problems with undersized files with the same build of XviD
or try different build... (and don't forget to hit restore defaults in xvid codec properties...)

Are you new to xvid?Maybe telling your settings ,filters and movie could help.No underated problems with xvid(at least I havent heard any).Only with codec saturation.Post in xvid's forum for more help
