Merging subtitles with AutoGK

Hello everyone.
if you have tried adding subtitles to movies, then you know how annoying some software maybe.
If you haven't heard of autogk, your in luck. AutoGK is short for Auto Gordian Knot. It is an interface that works with virtualdub and can format movies and add subtitles.

There really isn't a manual for autogk past it's basics. One trick I learned is this, choose your source clip, hold F8 then hit the ctrl button. This will open an additional line that will allow you to add your subtitle.
It will merge the subtitle into the final movie, the just do your thing, choose xvid or divx for our output or leave as is and add job and begin.
Autogk does a good job choosing which format is best according to what codecs it reads on the source clip.
Hope this helps with your subtitle needs. Also, autogk is absolutely free. Google search video help for th website that has many freeware programs capable of doing what all these high end priced programs do.
Learn to use virtualdub and your life will get pretty easy and yes, it is also free.

Please write if you have any questions or if I just rambled on without making sense.
Remember, have fun and never forget to laugh.
