GordionKnot 0.26b + Divx 5.02 Pro GUIDE

[UncasMS]

why would tmpeg NOT support divx 5.02???

[niobium8]

it's supported it... just not the audio

the audio is wave type: 85 mp3 layer TMPGEnc no likey.

I think I'm finally getting somewhere tho.... setarip here is helping a lot...


seems like a lot to go thru to make me vcd's tho, but I'll do it. The pay off is

TIA 4 ne help you may offer me in da futor!

[UncasMS]

extract the sound with nandub (best audio handling!) by loading your avi into nandub => file => save wave

no rename it to *.mp3, load this mp3 into any audio editor and save it was wave or use winamp to convert it to wav

the wave should work fine now with tmpeg

[niobium8]

right on man

Im using GK 0.261 with windows xp sp1 and divx 5.02 and I keep getting access violations in everything from gordianknot.exe to mpeg2dec.dll....now ive just reinstalled windows and it still does this. Anyone know why?

[techno]

yeh:

use an older version of GK...

or

use compatability mode. XP is NOT the problem

Does anyone know a mirror of GK ver .021? Since the doom9 page link isnt working for some reason...

[UncasMS]

you will find 0.21 on my page

since using gknot and the guide above i love showing ppl all their flaws in their encodes with them saying "can u do any better" then i show them some of my recent encodes and they are left speachless. thank u so much for introducing me to gnkot, i just u would have done it sooner

[UncasMS]

MY PLEASURE!

but make sure your friends improve their 'copies' as well!

You Guide is Amazing!. I thought that GKnot was very dificult, but with your guide is a pice of cake!!.

I've only one question:

You said that:

The number right to the LOAD button should have values between 65% and 45%.
More than 70% will hardly increase the quality any further and if you go below 40% the output quality wont be too good anymore!

This is for 2 CD's RIP.

But for 1 CD?. Could you tell me the "ideal" values?. Because (If I don't remember bad), my LOAD value was: 34 (I repeat, for 1 CD RIP and 192KB Mp3).

Thanks again.

I let my computer doing my FIRST GKnot DVD Divx movie... Let see what happend!.

PS: I'm sorry because my english is really horrible!!

[UncasMS]

well, let me try to *answer* your question this way:

don NOT rely on those values toooooo much

they were apropriate in the days if divx3 but with divx5 and BFRAMES, i wouldnt give too much on them!

every movie is different and thus it is quite hard to judge which number should be an ideal value and which *shouldnt*.

reduce your resolution to some 608 x XXX and don not use an mp3 with 192!!! (thats way to much for a 1cd rip)

ogg would be my number one choice for audio strems in particular for 1cd rips, because ogg-quality is superior to mp3
thus you could go down with the bitrate and still achieve awesome sound (e.g. an ogg with 80kbps can be more than fine!)

[sgauna]

So, you mean that 128 or less will be very good sound quality for MP3?..

I let the Pc doing other Rip with 160 Kbits, but may be I'll do it again with 128 or less.

I do it in 1 cd because the movie is not a very good film.....

Thank you verymuch!!

[sgauna]

I don't know if I'm doing the things right...

I always used XMpeg and only 1 Film was Interlaced (I've 74 divx movies)

Now I'm Using Gordian and the 3 films that I doit was interlaced!!! (The One, Black Hawk Down and El hijo de la novia)

Sounds Increible...

May be I'm doing something wrong.. (ripping?)....


Thank you so much!!!

Gknot Guide differences ?

I have looked at your Gknot guide and am left with several questions.....

In the past I have used guides from doom9.org and everwicked.com Both of which are slightly different and now yours is different again. All 3 use Gknot, Virtual Dub, Nandub etc...

Is there any real benefit oen has over the other, or is it a matter of personal choice ?
