AutoGK: Possibility of setting bitrate ?

andy

I'd first like to say that I am thoroughly impressed with the ease of use and quality of result produced by AutoGK. I know a number of people have already requested facility for batch processing (multiple jobs) and that this is high on the list of development priorities. I wonder if will also be possible to incorporate the option for setting the video bitrate, as one can in GK. I am not so concerned with fitting a movie on a CD and prefer to encode at a consistent bitrate. Thanks alot.

Hi-

It's been done already. Check the third pic down from here. So get an up-to-date version and start using that very useful feature.

Check the second picture down in the previous link. See where it says (under that drop down box), quot;Target Quality (in percentage)quot;? That's what you want. Just tick that and choose the percentage (the default 75% is good). Quality based encoding has another advantage (if you don't care about the file size) in that it requires only 1-pass, and so is much faster than 2-pass encoding. 2-pass and setting the bitrate or the file size is useful mostly for filling a given number of CDs. If you don't care about that, then Quality based encoding is the way to go.
