    Gknot bitrate calc/credits error

    I am having a problem while doing 2-pass encoding with GKnot 0.26 beta and DivX 5.0.2, encoding credits separately at 20%. Here is a part of the log file GKnot made:

    10:16:36 a.m.: Started DivX5-Single, Quality 20%: G:\el hijo de la novia_Credits_Credits.avs
    10:28:53 a.m.: Finished DivX5-Single, Quality 20%. Duration: 12 minutes, 16 seconds.
    10:28:53 a.m.: Assumed: Main Movie has 217945 Frames.
    10:28:53 a.m.: Assumed: Credits Part has -38053 Frames.
    10:28:53 a.m.: Credits Size = 1966Kb
    10:28:53 a.m.: New Bitrate for Movie = 567 k(=1000)Bits/s

    The original bitrate was 689 Kbit and it had 179892 frames at 23,976 fps. As you can see, GKnot made a mistake when counting the number of frames, and corrected the bitrate (i checked it in the encoding options). The final AVI was downsized
    from the expected 685 MB to exactly 500 MB + 2 MB of the credits.

    I solved the problem by disabling bitrate correction, but it is
    supposed to work ok !! Any ideas on what could I have done wrong ?? If you need extra info please ask for it. Thanx in advance

        Here goes the log file. I aborted the process when it was doing the second pass. I deleted the first log accidentaly and cannot recover it. However, the log shows clearly what happened. See for yourself.

          My guess is that your source still contain 29.97 fps.

          Your fps is set at 23.976, for this to be correct you must use force film in DVD2AVI or preform IVTC .

            Wow man, you're a genius. That was the problem. I didn't use them, but can I use Force Film on NTSC Interlaced Material ???
            I thought I couldn't. I should have used IVTC anyway, but I got misled by Gknot's advice.

              No, that would be bad, you should only use ForceFilm on material that shows up as Film in DVD2AVI.

              Yes getting IVTC to work properly in GKnot can be a bit tricky, don't ask me how this is done, I have no clue.
