Hi len0x

The quality generated by your AGK is unbelievable. The strong disincentive to learn the works (which the 'newbie' can do without) is unquestionable. The minimalness of human intervention from ripped .vobs to finished .avi is breadthtaking. The way you have automatized the IVTC-DeInterlace issue is incredible. Your AGK is magnificent, period.

I can't really believe that it is scientifically impossible to provide a choice of AR (4:3 or 16:9) for the finished .avi, maybe as a hidden option in the form of a .fdar file.

If there's a bit of a delay in the program's using the .d2v file right after it is created, then we can modify the figures in Line 11 of the file (after opening it with notepad) which says:

Aspect_Ratio=x:y

where x = 16 or 4
and y = 9 or 3

This can take care of bad authoring in the source .vobs with wrong DAR which the DVD2AVI finds and reports faithfully.

Regards.

Are you sure that you're talking about D2V file and not stream info file produced from IFO file ? Pre 1.30 versions of autogk took AR value from stream info file (where it can be indeed wrong I suppose due to mastering problems). Now its taken from D2V and that is almost always correct (at for DVDs) - may be for captures it can be more tricky.

My mistake. Yes, in 1.30b, it's the .d2v file that AGK gathers the AR info from. But in my mind, this question of controlling output AR has been answered (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=77780), as evidenced by your approval.

Thanks again, and regards.

Although in my case it was the stream info that was correct and the d2v incorrect. Anyway, thanks for pointing me to a work around and thank you ukb007 for providing it.
