Auto Gordian Knot: current version 2.55

[len0x]

Oh, that's a good one with MPC. Not sure where it went, but indeed its not part of the latest installer...

*Edit* I know why - that was an update installer I initially added it to, but not the full one...

And I will look into spaces in the path problem for the preview as well.

[len0x]

btw, i also found a bug in preview with mpc, for example:
D:\Record\XviD\Married With Children\season 7\test.m2v (says: file not found)
D:\Record\XviD\MarriedWithChildren\season 7\test.m2v (Works fine)
so...like you see i removed those spaces & preview works...what can this be?


Can't reproduce this though. Can you post the log from the preview run please?

[den78]

well, the log is exactly the same....

LenOx, the new updates 2.50a and now 2.52b don't seem to be able to handle LPCM audio. It says audio exception and no audio found. I reverted to 2.48b and it had no problem with the same files. By the way, I use the program set at a target percentage for music videos (xvid conversion), and it would sure be nice to have a batch folder option instead of having to add each file individually. Otherwise, I really like this program and thank your for creating it.

I'm having the same issue. I can get by with 2.48b for the time being.

I can't reproduce LPCM issue, so please post the logs.

I need a sample of the above MPG file with PCM soundtrack as I tested a dvd rip with LPCM track and that worked just fine...

[len0x]

edit:

I doubt, but I will boot up and try in XP.

[BigDid]

Hi Len0x,

Thanks for the update, trying to get some spare time for encoding, will watch the AGK evolution and try to contribute to the VAQ thread.

Happy new year and my best wishes.

Did

[mwvirk]

Hi Len0x
thnx for new and updated version.
i got a some doubte here:
your full version of AutoGordianKnot.2.45.Setup is around 8.8MB but newly released beta version AutoGordianKnot.2.52.beta.Setup is 10MB
so, i want to ask is this beta version can b installed without installing 2.45 version and shall i call 2.52beta is update for 2.45 or 2.52beta itself is a full release.
thnx again for sharing great encoding tool.

[len0x]

it is full version and can be installed without 2.45.

[mwvirk]

it is full version and can be installed without 2.45.

ok thnx
well u r just upgrading the tool with latest supporting 3rd party software... but do u've any plan to add new features... like activating .divx format back. or adding x264 or .mkv etc:confused:

[len0x]

New version 2.53b is out with a bunch of bugfixes.

[Barough]

Thnx a lot for the new beta :)

Don't forget to update the MediaInfo.dll file.

[len0x]

Any particular reason why I should do that?

[Barough]

Any particular reason why I should do that?

Noticed that it's a rather old version of it atm and the newer have been improved a lot imo for file info detection etc.

MediaInfo is 'the' tool for file info, so it cant 'hurt' to update it.

[progrocktv]

Alright looks like it's working now. Thanks a TON! I LOVE this application!

[len0x]

MediaInfo is 'the' tool for file info, so it cant 'hurt' to update it.

Unfortunately its not the case. I use text file output of the CLI version and if format of that changes then AutoGK will stop working...

[Barough]

Just though of something.........there is the 'Cartoon Mode' that will drop the VAQ when encoding, but what about adding a special VAQ option so that the user can choose if he/she wants to use it on a specific encode or not instead of that it being automatically used.

[Barough]

Unfortunately its not the case. I use text file output of the CLI version and if format of that changes then AutoGK will stop working...

[den78]

thanks 4 the new version len0x

[len0x]

thanks 4 the new version len0x

does it help the "preview of the path with spaces" problem at all?

[len0x]

what about adding a special VAQ option so that the user can choose if he/she wants to use it on a specific encode or not instead of that it being automatically used.

Average AutoGK user would not know what VAQ is, so unless it can be proven that VAQ can severely damage good number of encodings I'm against making this an option (to the extent of actually reverting back to not using it all if needed).

[spoho]

very much for the latest updates and especially the VAQ-Option.
It was one of the reasons why I aborted processing and started encoding manually. The other small differences I use are:

.avs:
out_width = c_width-c_width%16 (for automatic width after autocrop)
and sometimes other noise-filter, "cpu=6" and "Lanczos4Resize"

.mp3:
"-c heavy" for azid and "--preset medium" for Lame

XviD-vfw:
2 b-frames, Quarter Pixel, Quantizer 2.00 to 2.67, VHQ: 4, cartoonmode for credits.

I love your decisions for reducing width, softing with other resizer or switching the matrix. Always very good balanced.

I have to choose it manually to get a target-size-bandwith (700-2000 MB) for my 1-pass quality-based encodings.

BTW: with sceptic results (and up to 7-times longer encoding)

[den78]

does it help the "preview of the path with spaces" problem at all?
no m8, it's the same & it's very strange ...now i tried this path:
D:\Record\XviD\Highlander\season 3
& the preview doesn't work, but this1 does:
D:\Record\XviD\Highlander\season3
...& you remember this one:
D:\Record\XviD\MarriedWithChildren\season 7
...which works, now i'm really confused.

[den78]

btw, great job with vaq :)
ess + vaq definitely looks nice.
maybe you could do the same without ess... i mean replacing custom matrix with h263... cause it surely looks noisy now...
& one more thing, is it possible to add external audio (mp3) & just mux it like in GK. If not, could you please think about adding this feature, thanks.

[spoho]

I used "Xvid-1.1.3-VAQ-27042008" the last months.

VirtualDubMod 1.5.10.1 says nothing about VAQ ('about'-button).

Should "XviD.1.2.1.MTK.VAQ" from 2.53b be updated with "Xvid-1.2.1-VAQ-04122008" from koepi ?

Tests showed: maybe just forgotten to update the correct "version"-name in the release.

Think that this is what is meant as "now working":
http://www.koepi.info/ as he describes in his News (01.01.2009)

[len0x]

Bummer, I actually didn't bundle 1.2.1 that I have built after I initially build 1.3.0... good spotting that! (but it will still say Vanilla CVS version as I won't change any strings inside although its a proper VAQ+MTK build).

[BigDid]

Hi,

It seems AGK sharp matrix (Eqm V2) is used with
- Mtk standalone option (normal or sharpmatrix) or
- no standalone + sharpmatrix
at least for the 1 quality pass I made:

I confirm the V2+vaq encode is sharper than the H263 used with the Ess+vaq option.

Some size compared, same encode as above:
No vaq (AGK 2.52)
- H263 encode 156 Mo
- V2 encode 153 Mo
with Vaq (AGK 2.53)
- H263 122 Mo
- V2 124 Mo

I have yet to compare visual quality and try to get all these different rev (portable or not) working.
It seems I have some problems with or related to DGindex after the 248 AGK rev; 248 works at home and office, 252 works at office not at home, 253 portable works at office but not at home ... so quite busy to find what is going on

And thanks to Den78 for the portable revs, great job!

Did

[Barough]

maybe you could do the same without ess... i mean replacing custom matrix with h263... cause it surely looks noisy now...


I have to agree with den78 on this.

This would be a very nice thing to get.

[len0x]

I'm not sure what is being suggested and what is the reason for that...

[BigDid]

;)

Well ,now that I have re-read den78 post, I may have misunderstood his suggestion.

I thought the suggestion was that to encode only with the H263 default matrix was quite restricting (and grainy) so I replied saying that other cqm were used like the AGK sharp matrix (V2)

Atm I am quite satisfied with these possibilities:
- you want H263 -> stick with the ESS SAP option
- you want more flexibility -> go with the MTK SAP option

My further tests confirms that, for 2 pass encoding and with the MTK settings, the usual cqm are used (Soft aka Jawor1cd; sharp aka EqmV2)

On that short Vob, non representative movie + credits, a 720/304 (max width) encoding at +/- 75% quality, 2 pass, with MTK sharp, weight 100Mo, visually quite similar to the 1 pass 100% quality MTK (124Mo).

To get same output without the vaq I need (with AGK 2.52) 130 Mo 2 pass same settings...
That is (on that movie short chunk) 30 % size improvement; AMAZING

What may need to be upgraded is the comptest; the results are often wrong and AGK needs to redo the 1st pass; maybe it is related to the average resized resolution (not max width) used ..?

Also at something approaching 30% size improvement I may want to do more encodes with max width, no resizing and really very little artifacts (but that is just me ;) )

I am well aware that the AGK+Vaq is in construction but already working well, please continue the great job Len0x !

Did

[len0x]

That's quite fair description, BigDid.

Hm... I need more info on this, possibly with some example logs.

[BigDid]

...
Hm... I need more info on this, possibly with some example logs.

Here we go. After reflexion it may be related to max width and/or sharp cqm..

1st log 2.52 auto, will give 720 width (sharp V2 used)

Edit for the above post (text too long, impossible to edit the same post)

So either I dont remember the depreciation between SharpV2-more size compared to soft cqm-less size; either the Jawor1cd cqm does not really benefit from the VAQ encode ...

Edit: I took some time to close watch the encodes n°3 and 4 and make similar encodes with AGK 2.52. I have to correct my above statement:
- The soft matrix (Jawor1cd) behaves the same way with 2.52 or 2.53 encodes.
- The sharp matrix (EqmV2) behaves a little better with 2.53 giving less artifacts at lower size/resolution than in 2.52

New conclusion (related to this particular movie chunk) stay with sharpmatrix whenever possible use auto only for lowest size/resolution.

len0x,

Just a note to say thanks for resuming development of your most excellent application.

v. 2.53 works just fine for me and after 5 years of encoding I'm still yet to find a Xvid/Divx encoder that works as well and as efficiently as yours.

cheers :)

AGKnot 2.53b
Did you change the Lame encoder somewhere in the path?

[Johnnypowaa]

no i did not change anything

[spoho]

while transcoding or if you drag'n drop your lame.exe or your .mp3 into notepad and search for "3.9" you see just can find LAME3.98r or 3.98.2

[len0x]

2.55 stable is up! Hopefully this would allow me to move one developing new features for it.

[OH_NO_ITS_FRODO]

great stuff Len0x!!! great program as always! any chance of mov > mp4 support in the future?
