Hi, i've ripped Tomb Raider 2 - The Cradle of Life (PAL) with forced subs and xvid+ac3 to 1400mb, but final avi has 3 segments. last one with 4,81mb of size...

Yep, that's exactly what I did -- I created the script in GKnot, then reversed the order of Crop and Telecide in the script to see if I could create the red/grey ghosting in a situation where AutoGK wasn't involved.

Thanks for pointing this out. Gives me peace of mind knowing that this bug isn't something that only affects me, or only affects my copy of AutoGK.

Thanks for your help manono.

I did an encode of an Andromeda episode and I had a similar type problem. I haven't tried the suggestion of reversing the order of telecide and crop, though to see if it makes a difference.

Any chance this could be corrected in the next version of AutoGK?

multiple .srt subs for standalones via SubRip

got the hiteker he-940 player today from the local MEDIA-MARKT here in Germany for 89 Euros (about 60 Pound Sterling)

XVID Got some nasty failures, but divx just looks perfect.

Player supports also .srt subtitles, also multiple subs, multiple audio trackt.

player supports PROGRESSIVE SCAN

got a coaxiac digital output
got a optica digital output
got a RGB output
got a 6 cinch 6-channel output.

this thing is so great!

even mp3pro and wma is supported, and firmware updates are supposed to come out every few month.

so if you live in germany and got an Media Markt near you, donīt hesitate to buy one

Just a little request: Since AutoGK can use external subtitles (with vobsub), can you add an option of using multiple language subtitles (I really like to get both the Greek (my native)and the movie's subtitle stream, to be able to practice my english and not having to deal with stupid subtitle translations.

Thank you very much again!
You will probably by now have realised what I'm getting at, and I have a sneaking suspicion that len0x is going to say these things are outside the scope of AutoGK, but...

What I really want is this, and it would combine several things:
* seperate options for 'burned-in' and 'external' (VobSub) subtitles.
* 'burned-in' option is in the main interface, as it is now.
* for external subtitles, go to the 'Advanced' screen, where there is a list of all the subtitles, with a tick box (check box) next to each one, so that it is possible to select all at once.

Also:
* there should also be an option on the advanced screen (or on the main screen) to allow space for a few extra files, for example: DivX installer, .srt subs, etc. It should be possible to specify space to be left per CD.
Supposing I am doing 2 CDs, and I have a DivX installer which is 5 MB and I want it on the first CD, and I have .srt subtitles which are 2 MB per CD. Then AutoGK should create an .avi of 1391 MB, and split it after 693 MB.
(I'm pretty sure some people have asked for something like this before.)

If you could incorporate those, I wouldn't want to use the full GordianKnot anymore, and that would be great. What I like about AutoGK is that it does a compressibility test and then makes a sensible (-ish) decision about what resolution to choose, what bitrate for the sound, etc. Len0x' opinion about what constitutes a 'sensible decision' may differ from mine, but that I am prepared to trust to his (= his/her) (no doubt better) judgement.

Something else that would be cool is to have the program automatically decide how many CDs to do. I suppose one would then have to have a slider to specify priority for tradeoff between No. of CDs and picture/sound quality. Plus: is it currently possible to turn off the automatic split? (I suppose it can be done by specifying a custom size rather than selecting a number of CDs.)
Maybe you will decide for requests like this you want to do a one-click program for making files to be played back on a PC, but the full GK is probably good enough for that. Maybe GK could have a special .ogm mode, but then again, maybe Doom9's tutorial is good enough for that. I suppose, if you give someone a remote control, he (=he/she) will ask, "Can't it press the buttons by itself?"
The amazing thing about AutoGK is, like I said, the 'intelligence'. What one really does not want to have are options where all one does is tell the program, e.g., whether the video is interlaced or not. Great work Len0x!!

Re: multiple .srt subs for standalones via SubRip

- AutoGK will never be able to produced OCR-ed subs, (i.e. srt like text subs).

As for other requests - I just don't see them happening atm.

P.S. Let me stress this: AutoGK is not intended to ppl who used to use GK and now wish to do everything they can in GK in AutoGK as well...

Do not resize vertically before applying Decomb.
But crop is not really resize - is it ? In autocrop I use 4 as a multiplier for crop values, so what's produced afterewards should always comply with IVTC rules...

For the moment I thought that it would indeed solve the problem, but then I had some doubts about it since its autocrop that is going to be used before IVTC - I have to see how it behaves there (it might screw it a bit...)

fruitcake-welcome to the forum-

In a short search, I can't find out which chipset your Hiteker uses, but I suspect it's the ESS chipset. Maybe you know already, or can find out. But if it is ESS based, you'll have to reinstall AutoGK with the special ESS option in order to get your AutoGK XviD videos looking good. If you're testing XviDs from other sources, if they've been made using Packed Bitstream, then they'll most likely stutter like crazy. And they may also have other things such as GMC or Q-PEL that your player doesn't support.

You don't have to allow extra space on the CD for SRT format subtitles, because they take only from 50-100 KB and it's usually closer to 50 than 100 KB. For such things as the DivX installer you want to allow room for, make the video for a custom size and split it yourself any way you want. It takes about 2 minutes or so.

To get your SRT subs, you'll have to OCR them yourself (as len0x said). There is no automatic SRT subfile generator anywhere. In my searches, though, I did find that there are problems with the player reading SRT subs. Maybe firmware updates will fix that.

seperated subtitle options

Can't we have seperate options for burned-in and external subtitles? E.g. it would be nice to burn-in 'forced subtitles' (in one language) and VobSub all subs in all languages.
I wasn't asking for an automatic OCR.

Hi-

OK, my mistake about the OCR'd SRT subs.

As for burning in the Forced Subs and having the rest be external; AutoGK is going to create the VobSubs anyway, so select the Forced Subs to be burned in, and rename the VobSubs (idx and sub files) to be the same as the movie name, and then use DirectVobSub to choose the language upon playback. Unless I'm missing something else again. Now I see; it's not your Hideker HE-940 player, but Mediamage's report on the Hideker.

automatically split at chapter break

It's not my Hiteker, by the way; that was a quote from MediaMage on page 67.

Could the automatic split thing decide where to split it before encoding, and make sure it splits at a chapter-break? (It would have to be before encoding so that it can then set the target size so that each CD is exactly filled.) AutoGK could do a seperate compressibility test for each chapter, or do one compressibility test for the first 2/5 of chapters, one for the last 40%, and then one for each chapter in between. I can't see how you could argue that that would make the UI more complicated, and therefore unsuitable for newbies. You can tell DVDecrypter to extract the chapters (I think).

The following is from page 71 (orestis' quote is from p. 69):

You may be wondering why would I want a second subtitle, and the answer is that I like to keep the original english subtitle (for myself) and the portuguese subtitle to my friends/family. I bet a lot of people from other countries (that doesn't speak english) would love this option as well.

Btw, again, congratulations for the hybrid threshold calculations ! it's now 10x better
@manono: What? I didn't understand that.

You're right it won't complicate the GUI, but I can find myself better things to do with AutoGK... Now I can almost promice you that splitting will never be improved in AutoGK since everyone is moving to DVDRs and the whole problem slowly being phased out. And target quality mode will be the most used mode for AutoGK.

P.S. The whole ideology behind newbie-oriented tool is that newbies don't even care where movie is split. I feel very reluctant to spend time trying to please advanced users who know how to do everything manually.

I'd have to agree that this would be a *very* minimally used feature.

@ fruitcake - if you *really* need this feature, you can implement it yourself fairly simply as follows: _before_ you run autokg, use the equally impressive and free dvdshrink to cut yourself 2 new sets of vob files from the original disc - one set for chapters 1-x; another for chapters x-end. That only takes a couple of minutes up front. Then you can queue both sets of new vobs for encode in autogk and have 2 cd's split exactly where you want, and of equal file size (although why anyone would want 1/3 of the movie of better quality than the other half is beyond me).

I've done 2 encodings with RC4 and had no problems.

Hi joeblow-

fruitcake's no dummy. I didn't give him enough credit to begin with. What he wants is to be able to split the movie on a chapter, but to have both (or 3) CDs have nearly equal quality. This is impossible to figure by just splitting before you start. I do something similar myself. I hate to have the movie split in the middle of a scene. As len0x said, a beginner won't care where it's split, and will be happy to have a good quality movie. Your method will fill the CDs, and will have the parts split at a good spot. But it will do nothing for making the 2 or 3 parts of the movie have more or less equal quality.

So when I have a 1400 MB movie after the encoding, and if there's no good place to split, I'll often find a better place to split nearby, split the stats file and the AC3 or MP3 at that same place, and run the second passes over again for the 2 parts. It's kind of a pain to do just for a good split spot, but I've done it enough times (but, of course, not in AutoGK), and like the results much better.

But running separate compress tests on the various chapters, and then combining the chapters afterwards in such a way that the resulting CDs have equal quality is a pretty cool idea. But I don't think it's going to happen. And, of course, doing it manually would be a nightmare, I think.

@len0x and all the rest, watching this thread.

There are so many suggestions how to make this and that more comfortable (and complicated) for, let me say, advanced users.
I know there's a wishlist in the Gordian Knot Development Tree,
but I wonder why nobody else is heading for more quality on the rips they make.
If you put all that subs and dual audio to your encodes, not much space is left for the essential part of the game: THE MOVIE.
Sure, you can go for 2 or 3CDs.
But that is not how I'm thinking about the subject.
As I own all of the DVDs that I've ripped, you can be sure that I saw them, let's say, minimum two times.
So, what's the need for Credits?
If you cut them out entirely, plenty of space on your valuable Discs is more usable for the main video.
And all the fuzz about how to compress this fast moving lines and other bull... is gone.
So, if your goal is quality, that could be part of an solution...
Anyway, if nothing like that will be implanted in AutoGk, it is still the BEST, 'caus it gives me much time to do other things I love.

Cheers

fruitcake-

You didn't understand what? Choosing the language in DirectVobSub? OK, you have the forced subs burned in. You still have the VobSubs (idx and sub files) sitting there. When they are extracted, not just one language is extracted, but all the subs with all the languages. And when you burn in forced subs or any one of the languages, you're just burning in part of the whole set of languages included.

But you still have all the languages included in the vobsubs. Now, I always OCR myself. But when DirectVobSub is used to display vobsubs, you can choose which language to display. You right-click on the green arrow->DirectVobSub->General Settings->Language, and choose the language you want displayed.

I don't have any idx/sub files to test this, but I'm pretty sure that's the way it works. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. You just have to save some space on the CD for them. But you can rar them down to 4 or 5 MB at most, I think.

In Doom9's VobSub Guide, at the bottom, step 4-Playback, he confirms what I've just said. He seems to say that you need the IFO for this, also. I don't know, as I've never done it that way. Maybe someone can confirm or deny.
