I'm having a strange problem - when I select an avi file for input I immediately get the error:


try running MediaInfo (in tools dir of AutoGK) from command line and see if you have any errors - may be you're missing some system dlls...

So, uh...I can't seem to download this off the main AutoGK site. :confused:

See the Official AutoGk FAQ, first entry: 0: Downloads:mad:
Or use search ;)

Main AutoGK download mirrors are protected from direct linking via "referrers" feature, so if you're getting an error saying something like "You don't have permission to access XXX..." make sure you enable referrers propagation in you browser/firewall/download manager.

I have downloaded ALL versions of AGK from its download page, and never had any problems whatsoever. Programs should perhaps be always downloaded from their original sites, because only there the latest infos and latest versions will be available.

This download blue is perhaps a non-issue.

FYI - 720x576 (4:3) -> Output to 512x384 (4:3) is broken.
It makes 576x352, which is way out of OAR.

Tried .aspect - doesnt seeme to work at all (does write a .aspect to the dir though)
Tried .ITU, does nothing.
Tried force 4:3 - does nothing.

Edit : Tried with several different files, that i know have worked before. All the same, output is borked.

[bourtzovlakas]

I may be tottaly off...
...but maybe the "force ITU resize" causes the problem...
Just a stupid guess...

[Mouse]

bourtzovlakas,

i tried with that unset to ofcourse.

[Mouse]

And a new test, now with a new file. Still way out of OAR.

Going to test not to crop it, and just do a 720x576 MJPEG.

Edit : Back with a uncropped .avi at 720x576 using VirtualDub Mod. Now the resulotion is even more odd :) - size is now 512x416

Not sure, but my guess is that DGIndex is fubar.

[evil ryu]

Currently I have some problems with final dimension of the avi. If I set 896 MB I get 905 MB.

[Mouse]

Back with 1.95 - all in order, works.

[bloodrush]

AR problem in 2.05b here too.
Encoding a 4:3 source STTNG episode.
Encoding in 1.95 fixed res of 512 gives 512x384
Encoding same ep in 2.05b fixed res of 512 gives 512x400
No hidden options messed with, all defaults except for the fixed res.

It makes 576x352, which is way out of OAR.


The new versions 4:3 autodetection works different now - previosuly all ARs < 1.4 were considered 4:3, now its 1.28< AR<1.38.

As I can see from the logs it varies from 1.25 to 1.39 that is out of reach for 4:3 detection - do you really want to crop away that many good material to achieve 4:3 ?

It is actuall AR. Previously AutoGK was always cropping more to get 4:3, now that has to be enabled via hidden options.

It cuts to much, resulting if i capture someting with subtitles, half the subtitles cuts off. Or if you input a avi, it cuts to less, resulting with black borders under (overscan from TV-capture). Both in wrong AR.

If i just could add images, here so you could see for yourself.

I'll add a URL later for the images.

It looks really odd. The problem is, it deosnt cut of black borders, which is coused by overscan from captured source eg. TV, or cuts to much from the overscan, If you know what i mean?

i have another source that has black borders and autogk doesn't crop them out ( .avi source ). the black borders are throughout the whole clip not just in parts
please let me know
and thanks again for all your time

Sure, that is what threshold parameter of autocrop for.

As clearly stated in input AVI thread - AutoGK does NOT do autocrop for AVI sources by default. You have to enable it via hidden options.

You are right, my bad, sorry for that.

Still, .mpg (MPEG2) input is fubar imo. (there it cuts to much).

you didn't post full log file with avs script inside

P.S. If you have avi input then its better not to touch AR options at all, original AR is kept automatically.
P.P.S. Quality of your encode will be appalling btw...

I'd like to see screenshots.

i'll redo the job again as i had it set to show vdub log as well so it was too big to post ...
true this is an avi source but i have the exact same problem on a dvd source
i will start with the avi source and i will try without ar correction and see what happens
will post logs soon

Oh, you have DV source! Original AR option doesn't work for DV sources as they have custom AR (1.0925 or 0.909) that is hardcoded.

Read the AVI input thread - autocrop is not performed for AVI sources! You have to enable it manually via hidden option.


@All
I would really appreciate if you stop posting input AVI problems here and post them where they belong: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=91804

Where does len0x find the time to read all these posts and answer them civilly? He has handed us the pie (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7770) and now he is expected to make and deliver more and more pies. Amazing.

is it reproducable with 1.95 (preview is enough)? If yes, then its probably stream info file problem (i.e. DVdDecrypter's).

C'mon, just one page before this one you can read what's causing this behaviour.
Look for my post there or read AutoGk's FAQ. First entry is about this subject.
Or use the da.. Search button.

I have seen many DVDs which have authoring errors, like I've seen languages labelled wrongly in the DVD itself: clicking on 'English', for example, launching the French soundtrack. In such cases DVDDecrypter clearly has no way to correct the mistake.

Safer thing to do is to check the DVD up before beginning the rip and transcoding operations.

i did that, and tried everything. nothing worked before posting this. i'm assuming you're talking about this:

Read this: www.pcsupport.dk/software/htmlprotector.html
Just reset all your IE settings to defaults.
If you messed up the host file, clean it.
If your ISP is doing some filtering, well I don't know...

and second, i'm using firefox and 10 minutes later, not changing anything, it worked fine. it's fine now, so no worries.

I just tried preview with 2.05b and a third and different DVD. Same problem... 2.05b automatically choose the first subs on the list whatever I do.

I will try v1.95, earlier version of DVDDecrypter or even to reinstall Vobsub. But I will not do it before tomorrow cause I have to much to do (zZz:) Running Vosub manually and choosing the .ifo seems to be no problem. Then I get the subs I want.

BTW I have both the forced and external selected under advanced option. Have been no problem before.

I never experienced this before...

Hi lenox and thanks for this version.
i did an encode of my wedding video which was the original problem i had with wrong ar and it worked fine.
quality was not the best as it was very hard to compress but the AR was correct.

Yes, it does. Fixed. As I said bugs were expected as I rewrote audio/subs handling.

As usual - beginning of the week. Mon/Tue.

[Mouse]

len0x, i havent been able to reproduce the problem when it comes to 4:3. That seeme to work OK now.

But, another problem i can reproduce easy now.

720x576 MPEG2 source with used.
1. 576x336 (no .ITU + fixed width + forced 16:9)
2. 576x320 (with .ITU + fixed width + forced 16:9) used, and what is correct AR of 1.85:1 imo).

Above is with 1.95 of AutoGK

Now with 2.05b

720x576 MPEG2 source used.
1. 576x368 (no .ITU + fixed width + forced 16:9)
2. 576x352 (with .ITU used + fixed width + forced 16:9)

Heres some images :

As you can see, it differs HUGE in size from 1.95.

[ukb008]

I've said this before. The issue of AR isn't cut-and-dried mathemetics; it's a matter of preference. The source may have an inexact AR; this is more often true than not. In cases where the input AR is wrong (howsoever slightly), the AR that comes out of AGK may be one of these three:

1. It may be an exact match of the input AR (i.e., wrong)
2. It may differ from the input AR, making it nearer to (or exactly, if you're lucky) right
3. It may differ from the input AR, making it more wrong.

AR should be correctable according to the viewer's preference. The viewer can do that in PowerDVD, but that's not the point here. The viewer ought to have a finished product coming out of AGK that has an AR either exactly correct according to his perception of the right AR, or very very near to it - so near that it'd be next to impossible to tell the difference.

In other words, the AR issue can't be automated satisfactorily; one of the reasons being that most of the sources have AR that's not exact.

Couple that with how the TV has been set up, and you have a situation more complex than you'd want it to be. But that's also not the issue here. We're talking about a finished product coming out of AGK that has exactly the viewer's idea of the right AR, played in a correctly set up TV or projection device.

The AR issue can only be settled by providing for a custom AR input, with a presribed AR error tolerance. An AR preview panel like the resize preview panel in VDub will perhaps be too much to ask for...

Just a final point. The contention that AR is a subjective issue may not be absolutely correct either. A circle should always look like a circle. If that's the yardstick, then AR isn't subjective at all. In that case, there has to be a mechanism to automatically check a frame that has an end-on view of a circle, and take steps to produce an AR that preserves the 1:1 transverse and vertical diameter ratio of that circle.

Regards.

ukb008,

AR can eighter be wrong or correct - nothing else.
Any form of zooming, stretching on a TV is wrong.

I use a 16:9 TV, and i often hear people complain that they now bought a 16:9 TV and still see black bars. Ofcourse they see black bars - 16:9 is like that (except for 1.78:1, 1.66:1).

1.85:1 should give black bars (less or more depending on brand and how much they overscan).

2.35:1 gives bigger black bars - which is also correct.

What people tend to beleive is that a 16:9 TV is a "black-bar" saviour. It's complete wrong. Only way to fully get rid of black bars, is to buy a projector.

Not sure if your AR-lesson was ment for me, but i compare with 2 different versions of AutoGK, where the latest imo gives wrong AR, depending on settings.

[ukb008]

Far be it from me to give lessons, I am just a long-time happy user of AGK.

AR has nothing to do with the proportions of a TV screen. 16:9 is a generic term, meaning, in general, an AR value bigger than 4:3. The generic 16:9 embraces a large number of AR figures. 2.35:1, 1.78:1, 1.85:1. You name it. Recently I re-did my dear old Ben-Hur (http://imdb.com/title/tt0052618/technical) in XviD, and AGK 1.95 suggested 2.50:1 for a file-size of 790 MB for the part after intermission (a little less than two hours).

It depends on how the director has shot the movie. You can access technical details of the theatrical releases in IMDb (http://imdb.com) and you can readily see that. Beats me what motivates the directors not to adopt a uniform AR figure. But, then, its not a perfect world.

While cropping and resizing, encoding programs encounter the limitation of the dividing factor. Like, the dimentions are to be completely divisible by some number (e.g., 16 or 32). You can have one side measuring 320, for example, but not 323. So, in a frame, if a circle is to kept exactly a circle and that requires one side to be 323, then the encoding program accepts some AR error and makes it 320, or crops away the extra 3 lines. To keep the picture area exact, there is another method: you can have 323 lines of picture and 13 lines of 'blackness', making the side 336, a figure divisible by 16. The problem with this is that the junction between the picture and black areas elevate the bitrate unneccessarily. So, instead of inserting those black lines, the program crops the picture a little, and/or accepts a little AR error, and calculates the AR you get.

You are right - AR can either be wrong, or right. That, for an encoding program like the AGK, of course, holds true if the input AR is exact which, alas, it is often not. I mean, a circle isn't always exactly a circle in the strictest sense.

Regards.

I'd like to see logs for both encodes and capture of _exact_ frames as otherwise it doesn't tell me anything. I haven't changed anything in resizing algorithms between 1.95 and 2.05 so I don't see how they can produce different results on the same source...

[bourtzovlakas]

Hi len0x
Thanks for the new version...
Is something added in the instalation pack of AutoGK?
During install, i get "A digital signature not found" from M$....

[len0x]

its raw XviD inf install... (celtic_druid build)

[bourtzovlakas]

It also attemps to add a new registry value(GrpConv)...
Key:Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
Value:GrpConv
New Data:grpconv-o

Is this normal??

[len0x]

I have no idea - I took INF file from celtic_druid and just launched it.

[idanm19]

Try the previous page for the answer (and the one before, and before and before)..... :rolleyes:

(and the FAQ, and so on)

With this log above i like to add a few words.

AutoGK has lately, randomly worked different, atleast for me. What works in one version, does not work in another. When i pull back version that has previously worked, nothing seeme to work any more.
I do allways make a full un-install + reboot from every install.

Anyways,

after i installed 1.95 again, i had the exact same problem as 2.05b - i could not reproduce 576x320 using .ITU. Then it hit me, maybe AutoGK analyze to few frames? - so i did change from 10 to 50, and tada! from the log above you see 576x320 with a AR of 1.80:1 which is about as close as you can get with AutoGK to preserve AR.

Now, i'm going to install 2.06b to test first with 10 frames in there and then 50 frames.

Fingers crossed :)

Log from 2.06b (.ITU + forced 16:9 + fixed width + analyze 50 frames instead of 10 which is default)

YAY! ;)

len0x, i'm not sure, but would you agree to that 10 frames default in analyzing is a little to low?
