AutoGK - Undersized files (again sorry)

[Skovmose]

I know there has been a lot of topics on this - and I've read those I could find as well as the FAQ.
And a lot of the answers makes sence but my example here simply doesnt to me.

I have this DVD that I've ripped so many times in both 1 CD, 2 CD, 3 CD and pr. quality. And everytime it has been way undersized.

I understand that if I try to put it to 3 CD that it wont actually get to fill up 3 CD's because it reaches the point of getting maximum quality at a lower bitrate.
When I did a 3 CD rip the avi would only get to 1.532 GB.

When I did a 2 CD rip the avi got to 944 MB

When I did a _1_ CD rip the avi was only poor 559 MB.

Let's break up the 1 CD rip (559 MB)...
The sound is AC3 and takes up 306 MB of the total 559 MB (448 Kbps).
And then the video was only 252 MB (369 Kbps)...

PLEASE dont tell me that 369 Kbps video is the maximum I can get from this DVD cause that is just LOW :)

I've tried uninstalling everything I have of codecs and ripping tools incl. AutoGK 1.60 (I worked a bit with the normal GK program at first).
Then I rebooted and reinstalled AutoGK 1.60 and XviD ONLY.

But it came up with the same result.

Every rip I've made so far has been undersized. Nothing has come close to the size I wanted (including 1 CD rips).

I know this might be a tough one to crack but if anybody has any idea at all please do fire away :)

Cheers,
Martin

Sorry

[len0x]

Its still looks exactly like problem in FAQ Q 6.3 - so removing XviD completely (i.e. uninstaling and making sure that there is no xvid*.dll in the file system and registry) should help.

[Skovmose]

len0x,

I already tried that and also did a search for the file and removed it.

I can try it again and if it still doesnt work, I guess I'll have to move my DVD drive over in my old AMD Athlon 1000 MHz computer and see if it gives me the same result.

[musicnyman]

i had problems like this as well and had to uninstall both xvid and divx. don't know if that helps. here is what i did:

- uninstalled xvid
- uninstalled divx
- made sure all *divx*.dll and *xvid*.dll files were removed from my hard drivers and registry entries
- rebooted
- installed xvid 1.0.2 ONLY, don't need divx anymore.

now works like a charm.

[Skovmose]

I'm not sure but maybe I didnt get to remove the stuff from the registry.

Anyways - last nights encoding went just fine. Except for the sound being very very low. I have to turn up the volume up very high - so if any program makes a DING or something while I watch the movie I'm gonna get a chock, hehe...

Anybody solution for this?

Cheers!

Boost the level of AC3 sound with AC3Filter. http://sourceforge.net/projects/ac3filter

EDIT:
Figured it out - thanks :)
