noob says...i THINK this is HYBRID? should i force NORMAL IVTC or DEINTERLACING???

[AGK_J]

i do not know if i should set 'force normal ivtc when source detected as hybrid' or 'force deinterlacing when source detected as hybrid' or if my rip was perfectly fine at all??? i dont know...sorry for the noobie questions...thank you in advance :)

HELP!!!

here is the log...

also...the source resolution is 720x480, yet the rip came out 720x320 when i set it? is this normal?

Hi-

the source resolution is 720x480, yet the rip came out 720x320 when i set it? is this normal?

Yes. All NTSC DVDs are 720x480, but that's before being cropped and resized. Maybe Doom9's Aspect Ratios Explained (http://www.doom9.org/aspectratios.htm) article will help.

As for whether or not you should force either IVTC or Deinterlace, no to forcing Deinterlace. Maybe force IVTC if you've examined the source very carefully, and know what you're doing. So, until that time comes, I'd let AutoGK do it for you. If there isn't any 30fps material in it (as the analysis seems to say there is), the Decomb settings for hybrid material won't be used, and it will IVTC normally.

And you might consider upgrading your AutoGK to the current version.

[AGK_J]

upgrade to which version? 1.60 was the last stable release right?...or did u mean for me to download the upgrade for 1.60? or were u simply referring to beta upgrades, which im a bit cautious about trying...

[AGK_J]

this is probably a dumb newbie question, being dumb it will be my last question...is there neway NOT to have my rip cropped and/or resized? please forgive the newbie bullsh*t but how else will i ever learn right :P thank you

[len0x]

Atm there is no way you can make an anamorphic encode in AutoGK. But you can easily disable crop by setting threshold to 0 in hidden options (CTRL-F9 in latest betas of AutoGK).

I meant the current latest beta, ver. 1.93. AutoGK has come a long way since 1.60. Nothing really wrong with it, though.
