Hi all.

I currently have about 15 tv episodes saved on the hard drive. they are vob files and roughly 1.8 gb in size.
I am using autogk to convert these to xvid, and have a few questions.

1 . Should The resolution settings be set to Auto Width? or should I set them to 720, which is what the source file says it is when right clicking on it.
2 . What audio setting should I use? Im currently using 128kbps vbr.
3 . I want best possible quality with these files, and do not care about the size. So I set the size limit to custom, and 1800mb is the limit. Should I change this?
4 . Because I set it to 1800mb limit, it says this: Warning: final AVI will likely be undersized. What does this mean? Does quality suffer because of this? Or does it just mean it did not reach the size I wanted it to?


this is a log.
