Is it AutoGK or is it DVD Shrink?
Does anyone know of another VOB editor that preserves subtitles?
MPEG-2 editors strip subtitles and I do not want to fool with separate
subtitle editors.

AGK promises to convert subtitles - I can find no restrictions in
terms of the input. The input itself shows subtitles, so I know they
are there. The AGK Log shows that subtitle processing has been done.
So why doesn't the AVI made from clip show subtitles? The full title
does.

I was able to get FlaskMPEG to work.

I want to avoid that sort of thing.

I like the results using XviD so I do not fool with DivX.

AGK does indeed invoke VDubMod.

The problem is inadequate tutorials that are usually outdated. It is
very difficult to learn how to use something when it is not explained
properly.

If you build a man a fire and he will be warm for a day. If you
set a man on fire, he will be warm for the rest of his life.
