Hey all! I am trying to convert a dvd of mine to Xvid for storage on my hard drive. I am testing out a number of different programs to see which I like the best. When using AutoGK, in the advanced settings, I am able to change the resolution (width only). No matter what resolution width value I choose, or option (Auto,Minimum,Fixed) I get the same problem in the end. The problem is the top and bottom of the movie is cut off. It is not as if the movie (which is fullscreen) is being viewed in widescreen. It's literally the top and bottom of the movie is missing! As if AutoGK is cropping the top and bottom of the movie, leaving me with scenes that have people's heads chopped off... Very strange. Don't know how to fix.
Why not just use Virtual Dub? You could apply the settings from the DVD to DivX guide to give you some pointers. Or you could get the Gordan Knot Codec Pack and the Rip Pack. L8ter.
