Len0x?????? Len0x waiting for your help.:eek: :eek: :eek:
Len0x again coming back to you, any anything to solve this issue.

All these quotes from 3 different posts from TODAY being just renewals of older query.

It is now stated in the FAQ that Len0x has stopped developpement for AutoGK: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=458382#post458382

You are near or already have infringed rule 11 and/or rule12: http://forum.doom9.org/forum-rules.htm

It seems Len0x cannot or doesn't want to answer you. Will you please STOP repeating over and over your query. Thank you.

Edit1: Len0x did answer you: @mwvirk - 2.32 is the last version for this calendar year.Edit2: and I also answered and gave suggestions for that (possible) specific problem: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=863241#post863241

Several rules may apply to this behavior:

Rule 2 (Netiquette)
Rule 9 (Special chars)
Rule 11 (Replication)
Rule 12 (Replication)

And conceivably, Rule 4 (lack of respect).

It has driven the thread way off topic. I make the following Official Moderator Decree (tm): mvwirk, stop requesting that your problem be solved. You have already reported it. It is a violation of Rules 11/12. There is no guarantee that with the information you have provided so far, anything can be done. There is no guarantee that even IF you provided the requested information, that your problem will ever be addressed. Development has ceased. There may be updates from time to time, but there are no guarantees. mvwirk, please cease using a highlight font to express your dissatisfaction and impatience. It is a violation of Rule 9, and the repitition may be interpreted by someone less forgiving as a Rule 4 violation.. everyone, stop quoting those highlights. It fills up my screen, and makes a slight annoyance much more annoying. As of this moment, it violates Rule 16. :rolleyes:

mvwirk will receive an official warning (a "strike") for Netiquette infraction. Any further violations will result in Rule 16 infractions and strikes/sanctions.

Official Decree (tm) ended.

tried all the regions, as well as trying to convert VCD's to XviD or DivX. tried personal caputered home VHS
"All the regions" isn't a specific title with which you're having audio synch problems. Earlier you said
i am encoding one dvd movie using agknot ver 1.86 and there is no audio/video desync problem. when when i am converting same dvd using any version after 1.86 (1.87 - 2.32) i am having this audio/video sync problem......
...which indicates you are having a problem with one specific movie. If you are having the same problem with one or more movies and you want a solution, post the title(s) of the movie(s) as well as your log file(s) and how you prepared the movie(s) before loading it(them) into AutoGK.

The other formats you've mentioned regarding the same problem are known to have synch issues when converted, especially VHS capture. I strongly suspect there is not a problem with AutoGK itself, but instead the issue lies in your source material. I found this post (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?p=856740#post856740) in which you claim the audio synch problems you're having are with "bad sectors of dvd." I'm sure if you fix that problem with any of a number of free tools available, you will be able to use the latest version of AutoGK.

Hello Big. i know i am repeating same problem here and asking for help. i am calling Len0x attention as he is still replying for AGK user, to help and solve problems, related to his great application.

can you tell me where is the solution for my problem in any forum?:o :o :o

here i am asking you once again.
-------------------------------------------------------
i am encoding one dvd movie using agknot ver 1.86 and there is no audio/video desync problem. when i am converting same dvd using any version after 1.86 (1.87 - 2.32) i am having this audio/video sync problem......

in start of the encoded movie (output file) everything is ok and then slowly audio is getting delay and almost end of the movie there will be approx 2-3 min difference.
---------------------------------------------------------
i said one dvd movie, its my mistake, its actually any dvd movie.

So mwvirk: ONCE AGAIN - which SPECIFIC DVD, and which REGION, and how EXACTLY are you ripping this DVD to your hard drive?

Hi Lester, as i said before, its not only 1 dvd, problem is in any dvd movie, and region. only i can say that as per AGK Tutorial, i am using DVD Decrypter to copy dvd to my HD. only i can point out that i don' thave any problem using ver 1.86 then why sync problem is coming after 1.86. major change related to audio is replacment of besweet to lame in ver 1.87

i got huge collection of dvd movies and want to backup or convert to xvid/divx to play in divx player. as well as i want to convert my vcd collection of movies to divx. but having same sync problem.

one more thing i have noticed that agk is only having vbr and cbr audio formats, where using belight i am converting ac3 to mp3 with -abr 128 and then manualy merging audio video and solving my de-sync problem.

question is to find out why its happening and if someone else is having same problem then how to find solution for this using agk.

thanks.

[MrSinon]

i really believe this would be a great program and the solution for all my needs, if it hadn't the "wmult must be non zero" problem. has there been found a solution yet or is a fix planned for a future release of autoGK?

[whcanilang]

I want to reencode an avi and it has a mono soundtrack. When I bring up the advanced options, I don't see the .mono option any longer. Was this removed or do I not see it for some reason? Thanks!

[len0x]

Ctrl-f11

[starwave]

I propose a very useful advanced option for quality mode "single pass encoding".
Sometimes users have to wait for a long time while XviD encoding process is working to discover very much later that generated avi has a problem (incorrect cropping, lower quality than expected,...).
I suggest an optional checkbox (for "single pass encoding") that saves splitted segments as different numbered avi files (instead of only one avi), each of it composed by "user defined" number of seconds, frames or any other option.
Avi segments can be joined finally into another full avi by AutoGK as final job (with an advanced option to delete or not segments).
This option can allow users to check (after a very low delay or quasi instantly): video quality, cropping, aspect ratio, etc... on different generated segments while encoding process is working without spending hours to wait a final undesired job. I think this option can be better than preview button because user can see the real quality.
I think this option is easy to implement for quality mode at "single pass encoding" and can be VERY VERY USEFUL AND POWERFUL, specially to decide if some settings need to be changed and present encoding needs to be aborted without spending time.

Thank you in advance.

[jasjakutsch]

does this version also work with DIVX 6.3?

Thanks, Jas

[oraclebear]

The 2.32b GUI has a problem with mutliple subtitles.

The first video you pick that has say 3 subtitles works fine. Then you open the second video that has the same 3 subtitles and they are already checked in the GUI ...

That would be great - except that when the GUI creates the second job it does not include ANY subtitle tracks.

In order to get the subtitles to work on the second job, you have to deselect them all and then reselect them.

[len0x]

Thanks for the bug report, I'll check it out when I have time.

[len0x]

ok, here is an update for the above problem

[BigDid]

ok, here is an update for the above problem
"...- added audio to the preview from non-avi sources that can be used to identify correct audio stream and detect audio sync issues"

I'm going to try that new feature asap :cool: :)

While on the audio subject, I confirm not having any more audio-synch problem using Ripit4me in movie mode for recent titles :)

Working, even if the sound is quite low. I suppose I will have to try something like ac3filter to push the volume up.

Thanks for the tool, you are a man of many surprises :D

[Sharktooth]

You can use the FFDShow Volume filter to normalize/amplify the audio on the fly.
FFDShow is also able to decode AC3...

Thanks, Jas

Works great with 2.27 too. :)

[trodas]

I have a bugreport. I tried to re-encode 911 in Plane Site (the original rip has issues that prevent any subtitles being synced with it) using the Xvid encoder. AutoGK worked great (nice result), but.
I set the option to crank down the framerate to 23.976 (NTSC DVD source got 29.970, of course), yet the result was still in the 29.970 fps.
How come?
It is a 720x544 pixels (weird, but true, the original rip is also scaled down to 480, compromising the aspect ratio) input and I choosen 2CD size so 1:1 for the 63 minutes should be enough...

Any fix?

PS. I think that the audio should be with more options, like encode at 44.1kHz (48 is not really need in most cases) and lowpass 19.5 is also desirable to save more data for the heared bites anyway :)

[jggimi]

trodas:

The only technical specifications I can find for that production show only a 1.33:1 aspect ratio.

If this was shot on video rather than film, then it was never Telecined, and AutoGK will not reduce the framerate. Look at the AGK log, and it will tell you what it found when it examined the video stream.

23.976 fps can only be used for Telecined content. That is content which was originally transferred to 29.97 NTSC video from 16mm or 35mm films at 24fps.

[manono]

Any fix?

You can't fix something that's not broken.

And if you want lower quality audio for your encodes, then there's nothing to prevent you from creating it yourself and muxing it in.

[trodas]

Hi there. You mean this?

VirtualDub.Open("D:\\CC\\911 in Plane site\\911 in Plane site.avi",0,0);
VirtualDub.RemoveInputStreams();
VirtualDub.stream[0].SetSource("D:\\CC\\911 in Plane site\\agk_tmp\\911 in Plane site T01 48K 16bit 2ch.mp3",0x00000202,1);
VirtualDub.stream[0].SetMode(0);
VirtualDub.stream[0].SetInterleave(1,500,1,0,0);
VirtualDub.stream[0].SetClipMode(1,1);
VirtualDub.stream[0].SetConversion(0,0,0,0,0);
VirtualDub.stream[0].SetVolume();
VirtualDub.stream[0].SetCompression();
VirtualDub.video.AddComment(0x00000000,"IAS1","???");
VirtualDub.video.SetDepth(24,24);
VirtualDub.video.SetMode(0);
VirtualDub.video.SetFrameRate(0,1);
VirtualDub.video.SetIVTC(0,0,-1,0);
VirtualDub.video.SetCompression();
VirtualDub.video.filters.Clear();
VirtualDub.subset.Clear();
VirtualDub.subset.AddRange(63083,70990);
VirtualDub.SaveAVI("D:\\CC\\911 in Plane site\\911 in Plane site.cd2.avi");

I can't find anything else that looks more like a log :o ;)

Anyway, it should not matter what source it is, since all these stuff should be originally 24fps and just "upframed" to 29.97 fps for the NTSC (curses!) TV crap, and therefore could be again "downframed" (I think I inventing english words now there, LOL) to the 23.976, nope? :p
Maybe I'm wrong, but why it should not be?

manono - well, I just merely suggesting that the audio should have some options like lowpas and 44.1Khz at least into the advanced more :D
Just a suggestion. And when I select 23.976 and get 29.97fps I think that there is a bug :) :sly:

[jggimi]

That's not a log, that is a VirtualDub execution script.

Logs are called MovieName_agk.log. And it very much matters what the source is. The content you're dealing with, unless it was shot on film, cannot be made 24 or 23.976 fps.

I believe your content was shot as 29.97 interlaced video. I believe that because: 1) there are only 2 names mentioned with the production at imdb.com, and films, even 16mm, usually have more information. 2) AutoGK will only execute an inverse telecine (IVTC), on content that has been Telecined.

[manono]

I disagree about lowering the sample rate. Lowering the low-pass to 19.5 is maybe more of a judgement call. Heck, maybe they're both judgement calls. But remember that AutoGK is first and foremost a tool to enable people that haven't done this before (or often) to make good quality backups of their DVDs without knowing very much. One of the original ideas was to have them make as few choices as possible.

If you're so knowledgeable that you want to tweak the fine details of the audio encoding, you might be better off making your backups manually, or using the more fully featured Gordian Knot.

[katenepveu]

I have installed 2.33b (over 2.27) and my problem is not fixed.

This only happens with certain DVDs, probably related to age, which is why I haven't noticed it until now. (Example: Fullmetal Alchemist: no problem; Trigun: problem.)

I'm trying to back up anime DVDs into dual-audio AVIs with external subtitles. I use DVD Shrink to save each episode to a separate directory, by selecting the specific chapters with DVD Shrink.

I then point AutoGK to the .IFO file and tell it to use both audio tracks and the subtitle track. I use a custom size and have "use external subtitles" checked. Outputs are set to "auto," and I use XviD encoding.

There are three or four episodes per disc. The subtitles on the *first* episode will play. The subtitles on the subsequent will not, though the subtitle files are there (.idx and .sub (in a .rar)). This happens whether I process each episode individually with AutoGK or queue them up all at once. The fault is not in the original DVD rip files, because the subtitles will play there.

Unchecking "use external subtitles" also does not show the subtitles in the resulting rip.

When I use DVD Shrink to copy all of the episodes together, and then rip the resulting file into 1 .avi, *then* the subtitles work throughout the file. However, this is sub-optimal.

I realize this is an odd problem, but AutoGK works so well for me otherwise, any suggestions would be gratefully received.

I'm attaching the log files.

[manono]

Hello and welcome to the forum-

Your problem is easily fixable. Because all the episodes are in the same titleset (is that the term?), the episodes and subs are continuous. So, episode 1 begins at 00:00, and the subs the same. Those subs work. Episode 2 begins at (for example) 25:00 and the subs the same. Episode 3 at 50:00, and so on. By breaking up the episodes, each one begins at 00:00, but the subs don't. So, while your episode 2 begins at 00:00, the subs for it begin at 25:00, or not until the episode is complete. Open up an IDX and note the beginning timestamp, and you'll see what I mean.

The subs after Episode 1 don't work because the timestamps are off. The solution is to move up the subs by the amount of the total time of the previous episodes. Move up the subs for ep 2 by 25:00, and for ep 3 by 50:00. Understand? Those are just examples. Find the true length of each episode by opening it in VDubMod and File->File Information, or go to the last frame and note the time.

Once you know the episode lengths, and the total length before the episode you're fixing, open the IDX for each episode and adjust it like so:

# Vob/Cell ID: 1, 1 (PTS: 0)
delay: -00:25:00:00
timestamp: 00:25:17:690, filepos: 000000000
timestamp: 00:25:30:370, filepos: 000001000

Test it out. You can make the change "permanent" (get rid of the delay line) by changing the timestamps themselves. Open the fixed IDX in Sub Resynch (comes with the VobSub package), and Save As IDX, giving it a new name. There's more info about adjusting the delay farther up in the IDX.

Edited: To change Delay to delay.

[katenepveu]

manono: Thank you very much. For some reason VLC doesn't like it, but they will show in WMP, which is a hack but a reasonable hack. I'll see about getting rid of the delay line with Sub Resynch--maybe VLC will like that better.

Sorry to clutter up the forum with such a basic question.

How can i update v dub mod to its latest version?

How can i update v dub mod to its latest version?
Hi,

If using with AGK, the update is not recommended by the author; stick with 1.5.4.1
If you want absolutely to try, make a google search on vdubmod+download and you shall be able to get the 1.5.10.2 rev.

After that, if something goes wrong with AGK, don't ask for help until you have made a clean uninstall and a clean re-install without anything fancy :devil:

Hey there
I've installed "AutoGordianKnot.2.27.Setup.exe" (8,794,999 bytes)
Should I install "AutoGordianKnot.2.33.beta.Update.exe" (1,223,477 bytes) over the 2.27 installation or uninstall 2.27 first ?
Considering the different sizes and names of the setups the first choice seams the right one, but the update setup wizard looks like a full install (without avisynth though ? ) so I just want to be shure.

Well, I had to do some hacking to fix a crash inherited from original vstrip.dll, but hopefully this solves occasional errors during IFO parsing. Also I'm on dual cores now, so added detection of multiple logical processors. And in the end I've upgraded to the latest MediaInfo which of course can cause some problems with AVI/DV sources so please give it a go. Enjoy :)

Hi all....
I found a litle bug...
I use AutoGk 2.33b.
When i compress dvd directly, sometimes i have audio/video desync....(~450ms)
But when i rip this same dvd using dvd decrypter (ifo) and after compress it, everything is ok....
I know that the dvd decrypter is recommended but i make many dvds directly (iso mounted in daemon tools)) without any problem....
Where is the problem.
I not test 2.34b yet.....;)
THX for great tool......

[len0x]

if a vobset contains more than one PGC/angle then you HAVE to rip it first. Or if you have protected title then usage of RipIt4Me is recommended.

[dutch109]

@ len0x :
Don't forget to add Lame 3.97 final in the next package when you will release the next AutoGK version.

EDIT :
According to this (http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=48702&view=findpost&p=434563), you should use John33's compile (http://www.rarewares.org/dancer/dancer.php?f=107) which is a little faster than roberto's one.

it was never possible - see faq 5.12

Hmmm.. I've done it before and I'm doing it this very second with a reinstalled AGK 2.27.

[len0x]

I misunderstood what you were trying to do - I read "reencoding mp3 in avi", which was never possible - it always took original track. Now dumuxing of mp3 from avi seems to be broken indeed... (due to the change in MediaInfo as I expected...)

[whcanilang]

Thanks, sorry I was unclear. Will this functionality be restored/fixed?

[len0x]

it definitely will, but not before the weekend...

[Carraway]

Minor feature request for a future version:

First of all, I appreciate the inclusion of audio in the "Preview" functionality. Right now it's useful for testing whether the proper audio stream has been selected.

I also think it would be useful for testing synchronization of audio, but that function is limited at the moment because audio delay in the AC3 files isn't accounted for.

My feature request:

movie = mpeg2source("D:\DVD\Example.d2v")
audio = DirectShowSource("D:\DVD\agk_tmp\Example T01 3_2ch 448Kbps DELAY -236ms.ac3")
audio = DelayAudio(audio, -0.236)
movie = AudioDub(movie,audio)

That's it. I haven't researched any drawbacks to DelayAudio, so maybe this is ridiculous, but I wanted to field the idea anyway.

Thanks for listening.
