Another way is to give the user a 'add file' option, like GK, so that the sizing calculation works off this sound file size. This way users could create any quality/bitrate mp3/ogg sound file they choose and still mux it into the final result. All within GKIF4U. I know it is a departure from the one-click-wonder idea but as I see it you can still offer a very straight forward encoding program with additional flexibility. Anyway thats the end of my rambling. Great work BTW. running 0.21 now. wert |

About 1:1 mode - I don't think it's useful until there are no hardware/software players which can play anamorphic mpeg4 sources. When they appear, then it can be an option.

Because if it is not the case - DVD2AVI just indexes the first chain in the vobset (I think that what's happened to you). Quote:
About the bug you were trying to describe - I don't think I understood what exactly went wrong. Can you do step-by-step description for me please (so that I can replicate it).

@Venom_IL
Burning is not illegal, you're right. I'm just not convinced that it's a usefull feature to have. Regarding ripping. It's a question of not having any problems. Different countries, different laws. Considering that this app will be quite popular for not-so-computer-oriented ppl (meaning a lot of ppl can use it) the last thing I want is to draw unnecessary attention of officals and cause any possible lawsuites (even if you know that you might not gonna loose). I'm not specifivally looking for troubles. @Messer Not in the first version. Probably eventually... @Werter You've run into exact problem I fixed in 0.21 About user base: I think number of ppl who uses new containers is thouthands times less than those ones ready to use AVI. Please remember that this effort started as desire to promote mpeg4 video for ppl who probably are not gonna watch it on the computer, but rather on standalones. I think OGM community can wait a month until its support will be implemented

Hi-
Considering that this app will be quite popular for not-so-computer-oriented ppl... and: this effort started as desire to promote mpeg4 video for ppl who probably are not gonna watch it on the computer, but rather on standalones. So keep it real simple. It should be for .avi only. Make it work for movies and TV show episodes backed up directly from the DVD and forget everything else. Don't give too many choices. You'll just confuse people. But in that context, I can see how integrating CD burning might be useful. Even here I've seen questions from people wondering how to burn their .avi's to CD. You'll get people trying to use EasyCDCreator to burn the way they do their music CDs. If you want to make a gkFastPro version later to do more things, then fine. But the basic version should only perform the basics. Everything else can already be done with Robot4Rip and/or GKnot. I might suggest a Help or Info or Instructions Tab at the top or somewhere to explain in detail what has to be installed, where to get it, and how to use the program. Something similar to the Usage.txt, but maybe even more detailed, in simple, easy to understand language. People are used to seeing such things. Maybe start with the basics, like, "To use this program, you'll need a computer with a DVD-ROM drive." Never underestimate people's ignorance: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=64455 |

@manono
Very true.
I'm not going to start putting things there at ppl requests that easy I'll be doing installers and help soon for releasing a beta, which should handle most of installation tasks on its own.

edit: (to actually make this post useful :P) well i tried to encode the nicet&a clip with gki4fu again, but the outcome was rather strange again: unlike the other clip it doesn't resize at all, but encodes at a faar too high bitrate. the end result: an avi twice the size of the original vob no 'finished version' (muxed version) of the video,although it says muxing audio... and finished encoding in the log file next step: trying to encode the 34 min clip with fixed width... looking forward to the results! steVe

Wow, this is great!
For it's intended purpose it is perfect and would save alot of time making decisions I did notice a couple of things though, more cosmetic I guess as function is not affected... In the log it says "Found xxxxx frames", I'm not sure what this is referring to, but (my) logical assumption is the number of frames in the movie or clip? But it is a much larger figure than that on each test I've tried, so it has me confused. Here is an example: [3/11/2003 6:38:45 p.m.] Started encoding. [3/11/2003 6:38:45 p.m.] Demuxing and indexing. [3/11/2003 6:41:42 p.m.] Found 162329 frames The number of frames in the movie is 129863. It appears to be around 20-25% higher on each test I've made, mostly trailers or extras on a DVD, but also the main movie as above. The second thing I've noticed is the scroll bars in the log pane sometimes disappear, like if I open another window on top of GKiF4U... by clicking on the edge of the log pane where the scroll bars should be activates them and they appear again. Maybe that is a perculiarity on my system only? Neither of these affect the result though, which is high quality IMO Jeff |

@jeffster: what method have you used to rip the vobs?
@len0x: have you talked to doom9 about guides? or are you intending on including sufficient docs with the package itself?! steVe

@jeffster
how do you get the number of frames? by opening the same d2v file as was created by gkif4u ? the number of frames i report is the number of frames that i count in d2v file taking into account ivtc or FF. Are you dealing with NTSC source ? if yes, what percentage of FILM is reported in the logs ? @killingspree as soon as i have some more free time i'm planning to write some more documentation, which will be included in the help section of About window. Also I think I will add a memo describing advanced options right below those option... There should be not that much to explain anyway (after I make one installer which takes care of step 0 from usage.txt) apart from ripping step.

new bug?
mm, I don't know what is wrong but I hope you can fix it:
This is the error I've got. I get the main movie to the HD with DVDDecrypter 3.1.5.0 In the map: D:\DVD\Unbreakable\VIDEO_TS But, when I select that map I get the error. My PC specs: PIV 533Mhz 512MB DDR 333Mhz S-ATA/150 120Gb Greetz, Zerocoolnl

therefore all softwares that can be uses to bypass copy protection are forbidden by law to be sold (clonecd for example was sold from elby, because of this) @lenOx: iīll try to replicate the error an edit here EDIT: error occuring: editing the edit-field (340 mb for example) error disappers: when using the arrows -->341 mb, then 340 again just update the variable used for the custom mb size "onKeyPress" when the focus is on the editfield and it should be gone. @zerocoolnl and others trying to help: please post the exact line from the avs script where the error occured. the .avs script is located in the subdir "tmp" where your final avi will be created, and can be opened with notepad or other text editors. in this case, however no script line was given i think, its because no output avi has been selected, good that you tested that, so len0x can prevent that error.

Jeffster-
[3/11/2003 6:41:42 p.m.] Found 162329 frames The number of frames in the movie is 129863. Almost certainly gkFast applied IVTC or Force Film, depending on the Film Percentage. The larger number would be the number of frames at the original 29.97fps, and the final frame count would be the 23.976fps .avi after IVTC or Force Film. Down at the bottom of the .d2v it'll tell you the Film Percentage. Force Film or IVTC remove the 20% of the frames that are duplicates. 162329x0.8=129863.2. One of the beauties of the program is that you don't even have to understand IVTC, and it still gets it right. |

zerocoolnl-
This may be a dumb question, but did you use IFO Mode in DVDDecrypter? Don't use File Mode (up at the top, in the Mode Tab). Is there an IFO file that was ripped? If that's not the problem, then len0x will figure it out, I'm sure. |
