Hi, folks.
You must have come across vob-files that have been wrongly authored with an incorrect aspect ratio, haven't you? It may be a common knowledge among you PROs, but here's a method to control the aspect ratio error in the source vobs for the 'newbie'. You can rectify this error in AGK (I did it in v 1.30b). This procedure is based on AGK FAQ (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=72679) 6.6, and all the thanks go to Len0x.
You have to edit the AR info in the .d2v file before AGK can access it.
1. Launch AGK as usual and start job. The first program launched will be the DGIndex.exe which is in the DGMPGDec subfolder in your AGK folder.
2. Hit 'Esc' and halt it.
3. Now launch a second copy of the DGIndex.exe program, press F3 and add your source-VOBs, then press F4 and over-write the partially created .d2v file. After it's finished, close this second copy.
4. Open the .d2v in Notepad and edit the line where it says:
Aspect_Ratio=x:y
where x and y are the digits of the wrong AR that DGIndex finds in the source vobs and reports. After making the necessary change (out of the two choices 16:9 and 4:3), save it and close it.
5. Now close the first DGIndex.exe. AGK will immediately resume activity. It will take information from the .d2v file, report it and go about its own business; encoding proceeds.
The finished avi will have the AR of your choice.
Please also read this (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=83382) thread for a fuller explanation.
Regards.
