final size a little longer than expected

[noobsaibot]

Hi!

I've been using gk for some time now. I am doing divx from DVD using a 1cd rip with a 90 min movie with GK rippack 0.28 setup 2.1.

After the encoding is finished I get 3 files: one is the movie with aprox 703Mb (as shown under the windows explorer tab), and the other 2 are movie_part1 (701 Mb) and movie_part2 (1 Mb). So this is the problem: the final movie is always a little longer than a cd size.

On the bitrate tab I select "audio A" as 96 kbit and calculate frame-overhead with 1x vbr mp3, cd size as 700mb and then on the "add job" I use to select the wav in the audio tab and choose to do a 96 kbit mp3 abr and then mux.

The problem is, when I go burning the cd in nero, the avi is too large, something like 80:01:32, and my burner can't do that overburn feature.

which codec ?
anyway, set overall size less than 700Mb if you see that it's always slightly oversized...

Hi-

When you choose the bitrate, are you doing it for the codec you're using? That is, if it's DivX5, for example, have you ticked DivX5 in the upper right side of the Bitrate Tab and have the blue rectangle showing?

If that's not the reason, then maybe set your file size for 698MB (instead of the default 700MB) and then you'll come out with a 700MB file.

Edit: I was fooling around and you beat me to it, len0x. :)

lol :)
btw, I almost forgot that indeed in plain 0.28 we had possibility of settings different codec on encode window than on main window...

Maybe it's my turn to backtrack. He said he's using 0.28 2.1 (whichever version that is), so maybe it's not possible to choose the bitrate for one codec and encode to another. I've got 0.28.4 installed now, so I can't check.

0.28 rippack 2.1 is still just 0.28 (there was lots of confusion about it before...), where indeed you can select different codecs.

Hi

I am using the 5.05 pro.

Yeah, I checked this out and it's correct, Divx 5 and blue rectangle showing.

I don't know if this is related to the problem but, when I go to 1st pass setting I saw that there's an option thicked in mpeg4 tools: Bi-directional encoding, and that wasn't set by me.

Anyway, I'll try this setting 698 Mb, thank you Len0x and manono.
