Anime oversize/undersize issue with GK and Xvid

[SNP]

Hi, I've been using GK for quite some time now. Used to use Divx 502 but switched to Xvid since 1.0 but have been struggling with size issue when trying to backup anime episodes from DVD 50-70% of the time. I've been following the GK guide to the tee. I have better result when just using GK to create the AVS and then use VDub to encode manually and even better result size wise with AutoGK although with less control. I'm aware of the know issue of not upgrading Xvid install properly but that's not it. Sometime for example 3 episodes on a DVD, all rip the same exact way, one would get the desired encoding size, other 2 not. Sometime it would help if I add the opening or ending or both. (I normally leave opening just for the 1st ep and ending for the last and pure content for the rest). It's been quite frustrating. Please help :confused:

Are you saying that AutoGK also has issues with target size on some episodes? I'd like to see a log file from such encode...

[SNP]

Where can I get the log in AGK? I looked at the agk_tmp folder and none of the misc files look like log files to me.

[len0x]

Its the same dir as output AVI named *_agk.log

[SNP]

Here's an example, there're 13 eps in this series. I've used various methods to get 12 eps around 172MB each but can't get the 12th one to comply.

Here's the Full GK encode log: (138MB)

Now you see why I asked for the log from AutoGK. It tells you exactly what the problem is:

You movie is maxed out - the only thing you can do is increase resolution.

[SNP]

but why would just one ep out of the series in this case is acting that way?

[len0x]

Its the same as asking why two episodes do not have the same plot! :D
Different sources compress completely different.

[SNP]

hmm...I guess I'll play around the resolution over the weekend.

[SNP]

Thanks alot len0x! In AGK it's all good when I raised the resolution. Now all I need the option to select your own subtitle files in AGK :P
