    Hi - I've been using autoGK for months without a hitch but recently something has gone awry with the audio conversion of my MPEG-2 files (TV captures).. for some reason no matter what i do (clean install of codecs, autoGK, removing other apps & codec packs etc) when I do an encode of MPEG-2 --> AVI autoGK will NOT encode my audio no matter what!

    The audio is read from the stream as an "Audio stream 0 MPEG" and no matter whatt option i choose in the advanced options menu (auto, VBR or CBR) the app picks "Original" for the Audio 1 settings ( a wasteful 2 chan 384 kbps MP2 stream)... help!

    I haven't found anyone else having that issue online so far and I did a search here but couldn't find nay similar issues (msot ppl have sync problems it seems).

    Funnily enough I cleaned out my codec packs, and all my encoders, did clean isntalls of

    1. autoGK + full package alone
    2. GK rip & codec packages

    And it still won't work.

    I ca get the compression to MP3 easily using anything else (fairuse wizard 2, GK, handbrake, virtualdubmod - from theautoGK folderr no less) yet once I try to use autoGK it doesnt work.

    Now I know I could sue any of thos eprogs to do what I need to, but I'm used to autoGK and it is MUHC easier for me to queue file conversions using it (I do batches). GK is good if I want complex settings, but takes too long to set up a single encode (I'm doing like seasons of shows)..plus i get great results from autoGK, so i would love if anyone can figure out why my auto GK jsut won't encode audio! The MPEG-2 stream is like 384 kbps and jsut wasting space and reducing my video bitrateusing autoGK as is...

    Thansk for any comments in advance

    EDIT: OK I tried an encode and now I keep getting "EXCEPTION range error" on every encode I try with autoGK - googling seems to tell me this is a codec issue (autoGK can't find a codec..mp3 i'm guessing??). I clean all my packs etc againa dn reinstall only the autoGK package (windows 7). Here is a sample log.:

    the red bit is my original issue as i'm telling the program to use CBR @ 128 kbps!! Now it can't even encode (blue bit - a reinstall after using ccleaner registry cleaner didn't help)...tearing out my hair here!

    I had similar issues with the "Exception: Range Check Error" when I upgraded to Windows 7. The same files would easily encode on XP but not W7. There was a fair amount of discussion on this over at doom9 and it's mentioned in the Autogk FAQ, but I thought it had more to do with setting permissions / running in administrator mode / compatability etc than a clean install?

    Thanks for the suggestion - I checked, and I am running it in admin mode already..plus Vista sp3 compatibility. I wonder if uer defineid setting splay a role which don't seem to be able to be uninstalled..after every reinstall all my choices for the advanced menu are as htey last were... so possibly whatever is causing it to ignore the command to encode MP3 is still there somewhere.

    Have you tried granting 'full control' to the autogk folder in explorer (and sub-folders, avisynth - and all that are used by autogk)? From memory...
    Right click folder(s) -> Properties -> Security -> Edit -> Full control.
    Possibly even check/change ownership as well.

    OK - tried that didn't work..as in I'm still getting the new error of EXCEPTION: Range check error

    I might have to try some app that can completely remove codecs as I'm sure the lame codec is messed up. Any suggestions?

    Not sure, the thread at doom9 suggested there may have been a certain order to uninstall/re-install.
    Alternatively you could try replacing the lame that comes in the autogk package with something more up to date?

    I too can't get AutoGK to work since getting Windows 7. I keep getting that same error. I DID have it working, but I had to poke it and now I can't get it to work no matter how many times I uninstall and reinstall everything. Quite close to hurling my computer out the window.
