Problem in encoding into 2 discs

[SpOmA]

ok so I got a dvd and I copy it over to the HD with dvd encrypter, entere autogk and set up everything as usual (it wasn't my first time using autogk).
I set it up to 2 discs encode and check the ac3 6 ch audio option and press the start job button.. (no subs were selected) it started the encoding proccess and when it's finished pass one, it did it again "Restart pass one" (or something like that).. and then it went to pass two and this time it went normal.

when it's done I got indeed 2 files cd1 and 2 but one is 700 mb and two is only 400 mb

when I run the movie, it runs faster then it should be.

something happened I'm sure, it never happened to me in the past and I did like 5 encodes so far.

what might be the problem?

thank you guys!

Hello, and welcome to the forum-

I could make some educated guesses about your problems, but the information is probably in the log. Please post it for us to have a look.

ok here we go, this is the log. it's the log of the second time I did the encode, this time I added external subs and it didnt rerun first pass.
but I still got that problem of cd2 only 400 mb:

Hi-

Lucky thing I didn't guess, because I would have been wrong. I thought you got a compress test result above 100%, which would have meant an undersized file. No, it's something else.

OK, here's what may be going on. Have you upgraded XviD recently without first uninstalling any previous version of XviD? That can lead to undersized/oversized files. There's more about it in Question 6.3 of the AutoGK FAQ (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=72679). Even if you haven't done that, you might try that, and then reset the settings to default before then setting it up again the way you like.

[SpOmA]

I will try that.
thank you very much!

if I'll have the problem again, I will come and ask for help again.
thanks for you time, and I hope to be active and learn more about (Auto) Gordian Knot because it's very powerfull program and it's very useful.

Sorry for the OT, but are you encoding the NTSC R1 of Hitch (2005) (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0386588/)? It is not out on DVD until June 14, 2005, as per Amazon, WS (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000957O82/qid=1117414144/sr=8-1/ref=pd_csp_1/104-9228685-3723160?v=glance&s=dvd&n=507846) and FS (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000957O7S/qid=1117414144/sr=8-2/ref=pd_csp_2/104-9228685-3723160?v=glance&s=dvd&n=507846) . Has this DVD already released elsewhere in the globe? :/

[SpOmA]

hmm yup, It's the R1 of Hitch
so it looks like I found a way to get it earlier :p

and for the subject of that thread, manono - I did what the faq says and what you told me to do
and it doesnt work

well.. I uninstalled previous version of xvid via Add\remove Programs in windows
and then to make sure I deleted everything I even looked for any file containing xvid in c: and it didnt find, so it looks like I'm ok

ok then I uninstalled also autogk and everything that it has connection with.. (vob sub, avisynth ac3 stuff.. and more)

after I did that
I restarted computer and installed autogk again.. it did all the codec installing work automatically and everything seem to go just fine..
when it installed xvid I made sure to uncheck the box with the forecc thing cause I just want to use xvid as it is.
after that I started the encode proccess again.. and.. again
400 mb cd2 :(

any suggestions?

[len0x]

is the file complete and playable OK ?
