AutoGK Temp folders

[clarenceb5]

len0x thank you so much for this great tool I can't say enough about it, I'm trying to get all my friends to use it but they don't believe in XviD as much as I do. I have a standalone player and they do not so it's rather difficult to convince them.

I have only 3 questions one regarding temp folders, one regarding encoding performance and the 3rd is about audio options;

1. Is the gk_temp folder the only temp folder that AutoGK uses or are there other temp folders?

2. I use 100% quality encoding and it takes my computer a long time to encode the files, would my computer speed up if I increase the amount of memory or should I increase my processing power? I have an older machine, I'm running Windows XP on a P3 450 with 256 MB of memory.

3. Because I have a standalone player I would love to be able to encode the XviD files with the DTS audio, will the DTS audio be an option in the future?

Thanks again.

true, gk_tmp is the only temp folder AutoGK uses!

increasing the cpu speed will help you more, although some more ram would help too. significant performance increases can be achieved through faster cpus and faster ram though!

see this page and the following: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=64266&perpage=20&pagenumber=107

anyway, you can easily do the muxing part manualy! since size doesn't matter, just encode the movie like you always do, but deactivate the audio (just set audio stream to 'no audio stream')
afterwards download avimuxgui ( here (http://www.doom9.org/Soft21/Editing/AVI-Mux_GUI-1.16.5.zip) ), import both the avi file from autoGK aswell as your DTS track, then let the program do it's magic :)

Thanks for your help! I really appreciate anyones help. I am wondering now though if anyone has had success in playing an XviD file on a standalone player with the DTS audio? I am using a Kiss DP-500, but I'm not sure if I will have success with it.

honesly, i highly doubt it, but why don't you give it a try?
