Hi, AutoGK is a great tool! Thanx! I have one problem though. I am using a DVD player Centrum Gemeni 330 from NetOnNet. It has an ESS chip. The problem is that DivX movies made by AutoGK "jumps" forward a couple of seconds ocationaly, sometimes as often as once a minute. The problem is not related to the disks that I am using, I have tried many times. I have also tried many different bitrates and so on. I did not have this problem with AutoGK 0.8 but has been present in versions 1.0, 1,19b, 1.25b, 1.42b which i have tried. If I use Dr.DivX to make the same movie, it is fine. Is this a known problem? Is there a solution? Regards, Tarantella

have you enable at install 'ess' hack ? BHH

I have just done that and will try. What does it do? / Tarantella

It switches to using ESS compatible Matrices (MPEG and H.263) from what it ordinarily uses (HVS_Best and HVS_Better).

Hi again, The fix with ESS compatibility did not help. Anyone have the same problem? I find it kind of strange that I can jump "backward" 20 seconds right after a jump forward (about 7-10 seconds) and then I will se the whole sequence.

I guess its time to post the name of the player so that we could all avoid buying it :) Seriously - its seems that your palyer has problems with XviD in general...

OK, I get the message. In the first post I mentiond that the player was a Centrum Gemeni 330 from NetOnNet. This player has other names from other vendors. I also mentiond that the problem was with DivX. Thanx again for a great program.

well, this seems odd, because ESS option has nothing to do with DivX (that's what confused me). The only diff with drDivX is usage of profiles for bitrate spikes removal, but ESS chip doesn't have a problem with that. So my only guess would be muxing - you can try remuxing avi file manually in VDubMod with default parameters...

Hi- len0x's suggestion about the muxing being the problem is a good one. You might try and burn the .avi, or part of it, with no audio, and see if it plays smoothly. If it does, then most likely it's the audio muxing at fault. I'll assume that AC3 audio is involved. My DVD/MPEG-4 player stutters with AC3 audio muxed with VDubMod defaults. I mux with Nandub with the interleaving values set for 96/96 .ms (not frames), and that solves the problem for me.

What puzzles me is that I just got report about AC3 audio shutter on another ESS-based player (philips 630) and AutoGK uses 96/96 as interleaving values for quite a while now.
