Only crop will remove the black bars. After selecting smart crop all you should adjust it manually, utill they are fully gone. I suggest reading UncasMS's guide as it has good explanations with pictures.
If you want to make sure that you get the black bars of then use DVDx, where it says zoom in the output setting's select custom, and then play around with the lines (as i put it) and then once you have them inplace just type in the resolution box 640x480 or whatever you want as the resolution. It seems as if gordian knot is'nt working too well for you.
Zooming is different from cropping (using zooming usually you will loose quality).Using cropping is a different story and i tent to use
gk since its rich of options.the only thing is that this cropping feature is not working well for all my dvd's.
If i had to zoom i could do it directly form my decoder.
I've used DVDx for ages, it's cropping take it from me. Anyway, i've had a look at the attatchment and yeah it's right enough. But what's that 650mb you have in that box, i always have 700 in there. Right i'll tell you the steps that i take for 700mb. I open the dv2av file and then hit save and encode, i then choose my filter and deinterlacing filter (if needed) then i press save and a pop up comes i then check the circle multi pass then i press the first pass button tinker with the settings in the codec and then when finished i check the nth pass circle then i press the 2nd pass button and then again tinker with the setting's. Sorry before all this i select the option for the sound, choose MP3 paramaters and i select heavy (tried all the others, were'nt powerful enough) then after i have done the codec settings and the sound settings i hit the encode button. It will ask you if you want the job done now, and i click on yes. There that's exactly what i do, if you are doing it like that and still only getting 350mb then i'm baffled.
P.S i forgot, with gordian knot, it sets the video only size in the XviD codec automatically.
I mean just that, all you have to do is go through the steps in gordian knot and hit the encode button at the finish. When you open the dv2av file you will see a screen come up and then when you hit the save and encode button you will see another pop up come and then like i said after you have chosen your filter and everything and then again hit the save button, it's at this point that gordian knot adjusts the bitrate in the encoder. You don't have to touch the bitrate at all in the codec.
You set nothing in the xvid codec. Just leave that to the default settings.
"What should you adjust i mean all you need to do is just select smart crop all.What else."
First open your avs.
Then set you other settings. In the resolution tab select the correct "input resolution" and "aspect ratio". THEN click "auto crop". If needed adjust the height or width with the 'arrows' which are located above where it says "width x Height".
