To avoid errors in Fairuse Wizard select 'normal' error checking, because if 'agressive is checked sometimes part of the film is discarded, eg you might miss an intro of 30 seconds as it is discarded as an error. Also FU Wizard does make mistakes with the auto detection of interlaced/telecined sources by offering 'native' when it should be offering the ivtc option instead. Just ignore the 'native' option which keeps the frames at 29.97ps(may leave duplicate frames/scene repetition) and select ivtc which 99.9% of the time comes out correct!
The GUI is excellent, especially for entering a 4:3 source iso and you can resize it to 16:9 e.g 720x448 really 16:10 or 1.61 AR and plays on the TV without squashing effect as it is cropped correctly by FU wizard. AutoGK can do the same but my experiment with it cames out looking very squashed. Advantages with FU Wizard are you can do H264 and its own Xvid Build is truly excellent. No macroblocking effects using good bit rates. AutoGK is good using compression tests but I've seen macroblocking at even high bit rates at 2pass or 1 pass quality 90%+ and much more artifacting than FU Wizard. That said the odd cockup can occur usually a bad rip and AutoGK can save the day, if you want an xvid encoding rather than h264. |
