read the rules, still need help with player issues

[leiongod]

ok i apologize, pple i kinda missed rule 6, ok i wont mention things about downloaded movies, but im still having problems with that VLC error of mine, and yes ill only mention dvd's which i own.

ok even when i go to watch dvd's which i own i still have that pixelated, and hazy effect on my dvd movies. regardless of what player i view them in.

anyway theres more details of my problem in my previous thread calld VLC errors.

anyways is it ok with you doom 9 members out there if i can at least ask about how to fix the player problem if i dont mention downloaded movies and such.

cos its a right real pain, cos i cant watch anything clearly, and i don know whether to think its the programs fault or not, i don wanna jump to conclusions and call autoGK bad but if i cant at least get some help with fixing the probs i might just have to go look for another dvd ripping and encoding program, so to keep my confidence in autoGK i ask of you can i please get some help on at least fixing this prob of mine.

once again thanking you much.

Rip the VOBs to your hard disk and then open them in DGIndex. How do they look? If they look bad, then cut a small piece of VOB using Chopper XP and post a link to it so we can have a look.

ok i read a tutorial on how to use autoGK and it told me to rip the main movie with DVD decrypter and select the longest PGC which stands for program chain, once that does that it creates the vobs onto yur pc right, lemme know if thats right by the way.

and yu said to have me open the vobs in DGIndex, does that come with autoGK 1.95 or if it doesnt can yu please tell me so i can look for it somewhere else or if its ok can yu tell me where to get it, if yu cant thats fine just at least tell me if it comes with it or not and i can look for it myself.

also you said post a link to it, do you mean post a link to the vob, im kinda newbiw here so can yu tell me how to post a link to it.

does that mean you can look at the vob from my computer, im sorry im not sure how this whole proces of creating a link to it works. If you can tell me this i would be in your debt and would appreciate it so much

Also you dont mean click on the button called insert hyperlink do you, if im wrong can you please tell me, im sorry if i sound so newbie, but i'm seriously wanting to learn and i hope you can reply back and answer my questions.

once again i hope to hear back from you

You can find the DGIndex program in this ZIP file:

http://neuron2.net/dgmpgdec/dgmpgdec140.zip

Once you cut the VOB down to a reasonable size, say, less than 200MBytes, you can upload it to my FTP server and then tell me the filename here.

You sound like a fine chap. I'm going to try to help out. :)

DGIndex can be found in the DGMPGDec folder which is in your AutoGK folder/directory.

:) thanks for the reply man, um ill try doing what you said today, ill reinstall autoGK and the other things which come with it, and may i ask with DGIndex is that the prog that allows you to cut down the VOB file sizes or do you do that in another part of autoGK, can you please get back to me on this matter please, once again thanks for helping me and i hope you continue helping me to further my interest in this field. once again thank you

You shouldn't need to reinstall AutoGK.

DGIndex is just a program to directly view the video in the VOB without any filtering or encoding. We want to see how the source video looks.

I recommend Chopper XP to cut out sections of VOBs.

ok pple i still kinda still need help on where im i have to place that avi util but if yu ead my previous reply itll have more detail, but i did waht you guys said and i installed chopper XP and yu wont believe this rofl.

get this ok oi cut out a chunk of the vob like you guys asked me too i saved it aside so i can send it to the guy whos gonna help me; but get this, once i finished cutting the vob i pressed stop on chopper XP, ok so theres no movie being played, but the program is still open, now i went to open up the backup copy of my dvd which i did of hack liminality, and it was all clear. As if i to say i never had the pixelated and hazy bright problem, but then as soon as i close chopper XP and go to watch something on my media player of mine which is VLC it goes back to being all pixelated and hazy and colour distortion takes place again.

weird huh?? it woulb br greatly appreciated if someone could answer these problems of mine; also ive already trimmmed a portion of the vob file of hack li minality, so the guy here who asked me to trim and send it into him, can you please get back in contact withme and tell you how to send the cut vob to you nad how i have to go about it.

hope to hear from you guys soon

You're mixing too many problems into one thread. That will scare people away!

Make a new thread for each problem.

Possibly the difference you see with Chopper XP open and not is due to Chopper XP claiming the video card's overlay, making it unavailable for viewing your backup. That implies that you either have a really crappy video card with a horrible overlay, or you have it configured badly.

You can upload the VOB to my FTP server. I regret that I do not have time to teach you how to use FTP. You can find instructions online, I'm sure.

[leiongod]

ok ill look for a program to upload to your ftp server, but can yu tell me what your ftp server address is please.

so i cna send it to you, the shrunken vob i mean

[Guest]

My FTP address is in my signature.

BTW, what player are you using to view the VOB? Also, what is the result when viewing in DGIndex, as I asked earlier?

After reading your other thread, I see that your problems started after installing AutoGK. WHy don't you post your problem in the AutoGK forum?

[leiongod]

yuh hi there pple about that VLC error of mine

neuron2 qouted me

but im not sure if it is my video card i don think it is somehow, cos b4 i installed all this autoGK and stuff that comes with it, everything was working fine, and i find it hard to believe that a video card would just all of a sudden just die, and i can prove that this theory of his is wrong, don get me wrong im not saying neuron is bad for saying this, i actually like him for trying to help me out but anyway heres my proof that it couldnt be my videocard.

i manged to one day uninstal all the stuff that comes with autoGK and everythoing returned to normal and all my movvies played fine, no pixelationno nothing just fine clear pictures, so i thought ok, mebbe there was a glitch sumwhere, then once i installed it once again and tried watching sumfin again it staryted playing all pixelated and hazy and so on, so yuh the problems just came back again, cans someone please suggest sumfin to me please

[Guest]

Friend, you've got to answer my questions if you want me to stay interested in your problem!

I have asked several times now about the result when viewing with DGIndex.

ok you when i told you about the prob i got when i watched the vob the in chopper XP well i played it in DGindex and it comes up the same, it comes out clear, and then when i press stop and leave DGIndex open and open up another movies, that movies comes out all clear just like with chopper but when i close the program called DGIndex and play my other movies again they come out all pixelated and such, weid huh its happening with both programs.

i had a froiend suggest to me i do a refrrag on my comp, seeing as how i don have much to llose ill try that and let the defragger run over night and see if that fixes up anything.

[Guest]

You're missing the point. I suggested that what you installed has affected the video overlay configuration. Instead if starting multiple threads for the same problem here in Newbies, post your problem in AutoGK, where the author can address the issue.

[Guest]

Defragging is totally irrelevant. Don't bother.

You clearly have an overlay issue. Take my advice and post the problem in the AutoGK forum. len0x may have an answer for you straight away.

If you haven't figured out yet who neuron2 (http://neuron2.net) is, click this link and do a little browsing; his patience in this thread has been nothing short of remarkable. The "techy" nature of your problem has no bearing on the level of help you've received here in the Newbies Forum, but your management of the thread certainly has. You consistently refuse to supply the requested feedback and fail to stay focused on your problem. The stature of neuron2 in this forum is such that once it was seen that he was supplying your support, there was no further need of anyone else to chime in. His status is legendary.....do some reading.

Now, you've opened a third thread (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=97587) on this issue in the AutoGK Forum. I'll close this thread; anyone having further input, or mercy, can deliver said at that link's destination.

Unfortunately, none of the software used in the conversion world jumps right out of the box and "does its thing", even with a simple point-and click install. Sometimes, you've got to read the install and configuration files beforehand to get an understanding of how to work with them. Anything other than a straight "click" install will be detailed in a readme or install file; usually with the *.txt* file extension. To look for specific installation instructions, open and view the entire file folder's contents. Read the FAQ's, run a search, etc.,....

Your software is not the problem; AFAICT, you're confusing hardware issues with software issues. I cannot emphasize strongly enough the need to READ and get organized before posting a thread on any topic. If you continue to conduct yourself in the manner you've exhibited thus far, you'll receive little, or worse yet, no help. Additionally, do not open another thread on this topic. Do your homework and add to the thread that's running over in AutoGk (link above). I wish you luck.
