I would like to see you prove that absurd allegation. You can't.
My stated position is that "software is defective if it doesn't
function in the manner it claims to."
AGK claims to convert DVDs that have subtitles into AVIs that have a
subtitle. There is no restriction mentioned in the specification that
says you cannot use clips made from DVD Shrink or that they must be a
certain length or the sync will be lost.

I always reference the IFO when I use AGK. That's what the
specifications require.
I know that this is the correct way because AGK shows the subtitle
name ("English") in the Subtitle dialog. It also states that it has
prepared the subtitle in the Log.

AutoGK can.

If you want burnt in subtitles, then choose your subtitle track. The
default setting is for burned in or subtitles embedded into the video
(i.e. you cannot switch them on or off dynamically). If you would
prefer to have external subs, then check that box in Advanced
Settings.

Have you ever used AGK with subtitles? Have you ever read the
tutorial?

You clearly do not understand what the author of AGK means by "burnt
in subtitles". RTFM.

That's how SimpleDivX works. You must include the separate subtitle
files in order to see subtitles with your AVI. But even with subtitle
files, SimpleDivX also fails to convert them properly with clips made
from DVD Shrink.

Now you are making up terms that contradict the ones used by the
authot of AGK.
He says you can have "burned in or subtitles embedded into the video".
You are using this new term "subtitles over the video".
If you know so much about this stuff, why don't you get the source
code from the author and pick up where he is leaving off. But that
begs the question of whether you know how to program.
