Getting bad quality with AutoGK

[alc112]

Hi!
Yesterday I installed AutoGK in Win7 Ultimate with all the needed tools (Virtualdub, Xvid, etc, all from the AutoGK installer). I'm trying to make a Dvdrip but the quality I'm getting isn't good.
See this screenshots:
700 mb version:

1400 mb version:


The video lasts 1 hour 2 min and I put AC3 2 ch and 6ch audio.
If you get very good dvdrips from 43 min episodes of 350 mb, why can't I get a good video quality when the video stream is 1 gb (in the 1400mb version) and 398 mb (in the 700 mb version)?

What can I do? is there another DVD to AVI program that is as simple as AutoGK?

Thanks!

but what does the original look like (under the same conditions) ?

you're also testing the scaling of your software used to take screenshots, not only the quality of the rip - since your screenshots are resized

It looks a bit washed out , because you probably used a media player to take screenshots (probably vmr9 renderless renderer)

I'm sorry.

this is the Original from the DVD (a double layer one)


The forum is resizing the images. You have to click on them twice to see them in the real size.

I'm using Media Player Classic with the rederer VMR9 (windowed) and I did the screenshot pressing the Print Screen key and then Paint :P

no, I mean you are taking the screenshots full screen your monitor must be 1440x900 . The actual resolution of the original dvd is 720x480 , and your dvd rip is probably even smaller . So you are not only testing the rip quality, you are also testing your scaling algorithm of your media player. If you change the algorithm, it will look different. (you should take screenshots 1:1)

The screenshots are not even the same frame.... not quite comparable. Ideally you would take it from the same frame

The biggest difference IMO, is the crowd detail. Xvid will drop quality in dark areas , if you use the AQ patched Xvid version (not sure how to do this with autogk) , you should get better results.
