JCookes is right, DVD backup is a non-issue these days. Update for one-click BluRay backup and it will be useful again.

thequietthings & JCookes, are you two competing for most idiotic comment? AutoGK is extreemely useful for quality converting of several types of files to xvid or divx, yes, including DVD. It's usefulness is far from over. Easy to use and produces awesome results. I'm glad they're still working on it.

The program still has its merit as an easy and stable easy-to-use converting tool. As the project development has only recently been restarted it would only be fair to wait and see how it turns out with f.ex. the h264-support: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=143146 /lalf

I would recommend StaxRip which is free too, and 1000x better, more intuitive, more polished, and bugfree !

There's no competitors. I tried everything and, always, AGK was the best.!

Ubelievable. Why in hell does this "free" program require winrar, which is essentially not free, be installed so one can use different subs? ??????????? Pretty lame when free archivers are abundant and stable. Try including this in an actual working release. Winrar should be listed as a requirement for external subs. Update-crashed-well done! Too make them smaller??!!. As if they aren't frickin small enough? A megabyte (at best) is large? Crashed anyways.

Winrar has become a necessary windows ap (alright already). Updated autogk's components and now just waiting to see if it will spit out a proper avi. dgindex 154 lame 398.2 vdubmod 15101 w/all 4 plugins mpc hc 121008 mediainfo 0720 vsfilter 23952 avisynth 080831 fingers crossed. Got it! Gonna test it on another. I don't know exactly why but every other time I have tried this it errored for one reason or other.

@Anomoly: Did you check the official FAQ? http://forum.doom9.org/s...p?s=&threadid=72679 "3.1 Why is WinRAR needed for external subtitles? - To make them smaller they have to be compressed. The only supported by VobSub archive is RAR. No other archive programs apart from WinRAR can compress into RAR format." /lalf

"Actual product AutoGK 2.55 works great. Messed up link." I needed subtitles that worked with a specific character encoding and it worked.I heard complaints about it being slow and it proved to be very fast.I am very pleased with this product. Be aware that the link on cnet doesn't work and is to an old product.Also, I get nervous about how it installed several programs one of which is the classic media player which I had thought was spyware. I had been trying to get subtitles to work with a minority language using UTF-8 characters not usualy used in English. My linux subtitling methods had broken down somehow after working a year ago. AutoGK was quick, easy, and effective. I'm pleased!
