frameserving problems

[Enchanter]

Just use it to create the .avs file. If you're really adept at .avs script writing, you can forgo GK and make one on your own instead. A normal text editor, like Notepad, is sufficient.

nah i am not that crazy
thanx a lot

[Enchanter]

You don't have to be crazy to do that. It's very simple really. Just a few lines. The problem is you need to be sure of the commands and parameters to use. It's not as easy as the WYSIWYG programs around.

how the hell i am suppose to
framserve with GKnot
i have no idea
i know the setup
but
what do i do?

[Enchanter]

Eh? What exactly is the problem?

You don't frameserve with GK. It is only meant to create .avs file, with which you framserve.

[shion]

how do i create the .avs file
cant find it anywhere

[shion]

found it sorry
it was in an obvious place

[Enchanter]

Uhh....I did write an explanation earlier in another thread. Can't find it though.

I'll lead you to the other framserving method instead. Use vFAPI and create a fake AVI. This file is, for our purposes, similar to the .avs file created. Open it in virtual/nandub, apply the required filters and start encoding.

p.s. Nothing wrong with GK. Just don't feel like retyping something long on the same day.

Great! I found it.

1) Anyone know a simple guide to use Gknot?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


I've not personally read any guide for GK, but it's easy enough to understand. Basically, you install GK and open up a DVD2AVI (.d2v) project file. From there, you can set the resolution & cropping of the original movie clip. In the dialog, where you can see a scene from the movie and where you can see the button Save & Encode, press the afore-mentioned button and you'll be taken into another dialog where you can set what settings go into the Avisynth script file (.avs). Save & encode to make the .avs file and start the encoding straight away. Otherwise, just use Save to create the .avs file.

2) How do you create a DivX file from a Vob using Nandub?

Open the .avs file using Nandub. I trust you can or have read the guides for nandub on your own.

thanx
I have started encoding now
it is easy to get it
into the 70Mb bracket if i just cut out
the opening and ending
(the staff role since it is scrolling fast
takes up lots of space considering its length)

[Enchanter]

Exactly. The only episodes of a series that I allow to have the opening and ending are only the first and the last ones. The rest simply have the main story line. This way I can assign higher bitrate to the shorter episodes and hence gain more on quality.

I was thinking of this too. Keep sending in the messages for this thread and with any luck, it'll make it to a fourth page. We hardly see any threads that ever make it that way.

Apparently I was thinking this was the Ultimate Quality thread. Forget I mentioned it.

becuase of all your help
i have made it
4 episodes only 280Mb (65-70Mb each)
and not bad quality at all
minor macroblocks when changing from
slow motion to fast motion
and i made the opening and ending separately
and i wanted to make it good quality
but i went a bit overboard and
made them 30Mb together
opening and ending
but who cares i can fit 9 episodes
with all codecs and div-x player
and the opening and ending on one CD
i am so happy
it took me so long to get here
about 2 moths actually
but when i watch it it is all worth it
Nandub is seriously the best
I mean it can make medium quality medium size
to hight quality high size
to minor qulity minor size
but sometimes
good quliaty medium size
and normal quality minor size
it is such a great program
you get so much control over the .avi files
i am so happy
thanx for all the help enchanter

[Enchanter]

Pleasure to help you, especially when it comes to working with anime.

p.s. Did UncasMS change anything else with my previous post, paart from adding #s?

[shion]

?

[shion]

Hey Enchanter
what kind of settings did you put
on for Nandub
for the 50Mb bracket
I think my settings are a bit crazy
they do work
but i just want to know if there are better settings
