AutoGk Stuck In Vista On Compressibility Test

[nhgawe]

I ripped a DVD in full with Decrypter, and I was trying to make an AVI off the ripped files with autogk, which I've done before on older XP machines, however on this Vista machine I have never used autogk and I'm having problems. I started trying to do the rip yesterday morning, and it took over 12 hours to run a compressibility test, which I knew was wrong. And then after it finished that it just stayed at 0 percent on the first pass for over 6 hours so I stopped it. I've never tried to make a rip with AC3 sound and I had that set this time so I don't know if that's what created the problem. I have k-lite codec pack installed, but not sure if I have a AC3 filter if it didn't come with it, but I've also tried setting sound to "auto" and it did the same thing. I noticed in other people's autogk logs it normalizes and decodes the audio before running the compressibility test, and my autogk was skipping head to the test without saying it'd done anything with the audio. I don't see why its not working as fast or faster as it has on a 6 year old machine. Any suggestions?

I would guess it's a 64bit-problem.

Are you running it as Administrator(right click on autogk and choose run as administrator)?
Tried run it in compatibility mode?

Or else maybe try something else like handbrake, you should be able to get similar results using it.

Dual boot with Xp or even run XP in a Virtual machine.
I know how to do the first but not the second.
Codec packs tend to have a bad rep as sometimes they are infected with all sorts of malware trojans worms and viruses and adware along with old unsupported versions of the codecs themselves.
Re boot and try running again.

I tried running autogk as administrator and in XP compatibility mode and it had no effect. The newest version of the k-lite codec pack is what I always see recommended so I don't think there's anything wrong with that particular one, and I do regular scans so I don't think malware's an issue. I was able to complete the rip using Handbrake, so thanks for the suggestion.

K-lite codec pack usually causes problems cause its crap,best to uninstall it and just install the codecs needed.
