AutoGK suddenly not reliable

[marioval]

AutoGK has never given me trouble before. The last 2 or 3 DVD's that I tried to convert came out with audio/video severly out of sync and the picture stretched. I have always used xvid but I just tried divx codec and the outcome is the same. I tried uninstalling then reinstalling autogk/avisynth/xvid/divx/ffdshow/vobsub/ac3filter/virtualdubmod. This all I have installed, I do not use codec packs. AutoGK still having same problems after reinstall. can anyone offer any suggestionss? Thanks

It could be unique to these last 2 or 3 DVDs. I've seen some badly mastered DVDs that made my scratch my head and wonder if they were mastered that way deliberately (it made doing episode by episode ripping of a TV show an absolute nightmare) or through incompetence. A good test would be to take a DVD that you know encoded fine in the past and follow your methodology again and see if you get good or bad results. If you get good results, then something is weird with the newer DVDs. If you get bad results, then you'll have to investigate further into what may have changed recently on your computer.

jman98's advice is good. Also, please provide a log for one of these failed encodes. Out of synch audio usually points to an improper decrypt. Are these relative new movies? And how are you decrypting them to the hard drive? Bad aspect ratio usually points to a different problem, perhaps the VOBs being in one DAR while the IFOs are in the other other. In neither case is this the fault of AutoGK.
