AutoGK - no audio [Archive]

I've been having a problem with AutoGK since version 2.09. Every so often I've been getting no audio on my resulting avi encode. This is not with all encodes, maybe once in every 5. I installed 2.13 the other day and the first encode came out fine, the third had no audio again. This is very strange to me because the encodes I have been doing are not different in procedure, all the sources are captures that I have done to dvd quality mpeg2 (to be more specific they are higher than dvd quality, 10000 KBits/sec video bitrate CBR), the audio of the source captures is 384 KBits/sec, 48000 Hz sample rate. I have been capturing with the same stats for over a year. I encode using AutoGK and GKnot intermittently (I guess you could say depending on my mood and the quality of the original, etc.). If I try to encode the same file again (one that I had gotten no audio on) with AutoGK, I still get no audio. If I encode the same file with GKnot - it's fine. I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem and any possible solutions. I'm not good at reading logs, but from what I can tell it's as if AutoGK simply thinks there is no audio (the original mpeg2 does have audio, I can assure you).
Here's the log from the last encode I did that had no audio:

Your log states it's a file source, what is the kind of audio mpa (mp2) or ac3?
Basic inquiry: did you check the audio box had an audio stream selected?
Other funny thing in the log is you have an overhead, because when I deselect audio and encode video only I have overhead =0 which is not your case.
Did

The source of the audio is the mpg itself, and it should extract it as an mpa. Is there an audio stream selected? Well yes, in a sense. It's "Audio Stream 0 MPeg", like I said, the mpeg itself.

One more thing you may try (besides clean uninstall, reinstall) is to encode without subs ...
Did

I did install and reinstall, don't worry it was the first thing I did. I remind you that I'm no newbie and I use the same settings all the time. I have encoded about 100 movies with AutoGK and probably about 400 with GKnot. ANd all of them have subs because I place my own logo on them, which is in the form of an external subtitle, and that can't possibly have anything to do with the audio.

OT: what capture prog do you use? I'm searching one which can use ac3 audio and the video8 studio I use cannot (and I have problems with the video9 trial, I cannot use mpg2 for capture) Did

I use an external capture device called AverMedia EZ DVDMaker Pro, and the software I use with it is Ulead DVD Movie Factory. Even though DVD is mentioned on both, I always capture to dvd quality mpeg2, not dvd format (vobs).

And just for more info, I just encoded the same source file with GKnot (and it came out fine, as mentioned above). Here is the log:

Ok,

Tks for the answers, hope it will help someone else for further advice. The only thing I see for error tracking is:

1/ same source other prog -> you made it with Gknot ok
2/ other source same prog
2a/ source: dvd
2b/ source: capture
->to see if you can replicate your problem with other conditions

Good luck

Btw it does "seem" to occur mostly when i choose my own audio bitrate in Advanced Settings and not "auto" - I can't be sure because I really haven't paid enough attention to it, the only reason I'm guessing is because I always use the "auto" setting for tv episodes I capture, while I usually use a vbr bitrate of my own choosing for movies. And I've never had a tv episode come out without sound, only movies.

(P.S. I do hope someone's reading this, I highly doubt this is the result of user error)

Hi dap_werewolf-

Nice to see you again. I only wish you were visiting to answer people's questions, rather than asking a really hard one yourself. So, I'll guess a little bit to try and help, but I'll tell you up front that I haven't a clue about what the problem could be.

Is there any useful information to be gleaned from the BeSweet log in the agk_tmp directory, or is no log even created? So, you think these failed attempts may occur when you change from the default 128 bitrate? Are all these failed attempts at bitrates below 128? The reason I ask is that BeSweet switches to a 44,100 Hz Sample Rate from 48,000 Hz at bitrates below 128 (I think). Perhaps it's related to that somehow. Since you're using low bitrate audio, you might go into the Hidden Options (CTRL-F9) and, as a test, force 96 Mono and see if that gives you audio. Remember, though, to force 96 Mono, set it for 192 in the Advanced Settings, as the bitrate will get cut in half. Or maybe set it for 160 (=80 Mono). Or, perhaps as a workaround (as I'm sure you've already figured out) keep it at the default 128 or higher.

I think this is a question for len0x.

I have a question. does the mpa get extracted at all in the AGK process? If it doesn't, do you use the same DGindex in GK and AGK? What other app got updated starting at version 2.09? (the changelog on the site stops at ver 2.08)
Does the AGK final filesize take into account the non-existing audio, or does it think it's a mute movie (according to the logfile, as far as it's concerned there is no audio, actually)?
Basically, you need to know what craps out, and when exactly :)

Hi dap_werewolf-

Nice to see you again. I only wish you were visiting to answer people's questions, rather than asking a really hard one yourself.

Hi Manono, point well taken but I always think that mods here can answer questions a lot better than me, I'm no pro and usually stick to the newbie ones, but will try and do my part on the easy ones :)

Is there any useful information to be gleaned from the BeSweet log in the agk_tmp directory, or is no log even created?

I don't see any BeSweet log, but then again I don't see any BeSweet log in the GKnot folder either. Unless I don't know what it looks like...lol

So, you think these failed attempts may occur when you change from the default 128 bitrate? Are all these failed attempts at bitrates below 128?

Yes I do but it's only an educated guess and hasn't been researched thoroughly. I almost never do encodes at above 128 because most of my captures are old films and it's not worth it, I usually use 96, 112 or 128. I'll give it a go to try forcing it to 96 Mono and let you know what happens.

Or, perhaps as a workaround (as I'm sure you've already figured out) keep it at the default 128 or higher.

Sure I've thought of that, but for one thing I'm a nitpicker and it pains me to have to increase the audio size of a black and white old flick, taking away from the video quality for no need. For another, even if I solve the problem by doing that I think the problem still needs to be addressed and solved in future. But like I said I'll try your suggestion on forcing mono 96 in hidden options and let you know what happens.

Does the AGK final filesize take into account the non-existing audio, or does it think it's a mute movie (according to the logfile, as far as it's concerned there is no audio, actually)?

No it doesn't take the audio size into account, it considers it (as far as I can tell) to be a mute movie and doesn't extract an mpa file at all from the mpeg. There is simply nothing to be found anywhere about audio at all.

[QUOTE=niamh] I have a question. does the mpa get extracted at all in the AGK process? If it doesn't, do you use the same DGindex in GK and AGK? What other app got updated starting at version 2.09? (the changelog on the site stops at ver 2.08)

As I said it doesn't extract the mpa at all. I use the DGindex's in both that came with the apps by default:

AutoGK 2.13: DGIndex 1.4.0
GKnot 0.35: 1.2.1

(I don't remember which DGIndex came with 2.09, I just remember that I never had a problem with no audio before AutoGK version 2.09)

Hi,
I have got a similair problem with no audio in the completed job (.avi).

The whole system is a clean install with no issues. XP Pro sp2, 1.4ghz athlon, 512mb crucial and using this old machine as a multimedia setup and would like to use AutoGk for my .mpg streams to .avi

The selected file input for the demo is a 100mb stream and saved as .mpg (which is a clip of a pvr recording and plays perfectly).

AutoGK shows there is an audio stream, it goes on and demuxes and creates the .d2v file and corresponding audo file .mpa and a .mp3 file is created which also plays perfectly.

In the log it shows that audio and video muxing never occured, I looked to do this manually but couldnt find nandub (i used to use gordiankot).

Could you please help,

Thx

There is no separate muxing step - its integrated in the video encoding process. You would have a VDubMod error for audio to be absent. Its likely a playback problem. Check your avi with GSpot.

Thanks for the reply lenox,

Please find attached image of gspot and dxdiag.

This is getting stranger by the minute, there are 3 windows media players installed only 1 will play the file but without audio, the other 2 just show a still image of the 1st frame and no audio, also installed is power DVD that is frozen on the first frame without audio too.

I have looked at the device manager but no errors there?

Thanx

Gspot says mp3 audio is there, so its a playback problem. Try rendering file in GSpot and see what codecs are used for audio/video decoding. Try removing them and use standard ones (if Nero/Cyberlink ones are used). Other than that I can't help you.

Log in the first post clearly indicates that audio was NOT selected at all. This happens sometimes when you select source with no audio and then that choice is remembered across ALL the sources that you open in the same session (unless you explicitely change it).

Well if that's all it is then I'll hit myself over the head with a hammer. I never select the audio since the only audio I ever use is that of the original mpeg2 and it sets itself, so I never really look at that option. I never use any sources with no audio, so I can't really see how I could have selected one before that, but from now on I'll make sure the mpeg is selected. As I said lately I have been encoding only mpeg2 captures that I have done. Thanks.

I also have this same problem occasionally and initially I thought it was just me accidentally selecting No Audio. However, it happens frequently enough that nowadays the first thing I do after processing a file is check the audio (I know I could just look at the log but I'm paranoid). I never process video without audio so I am not sure why Autogk should ever change to no audio, but it does on occasion. I am processing DV-AVI files, not mpg.

If AutoGK fails to detect audio via MediaInfo then it obviously won't be in the output. If you have logs that indicate "Audio: xxx" and final avi does't have audio, then post them please.
