I started a AutoGK DVD to 2CDs process. I never realised that it would take so long. When I saw the first pass and it had done it I thought it would finish. But I was wrong. It had to go through a second pass? I have a P4 3.0GHz with 512MB RAM. Shouldn't this be fast enough?

Anyway, I just looked at the time and only have 5 minutes left before a film starts on TV that I want to record using my PC/TV-card. Is it possible to press Abort on AutoGK, and it pauses the job. Then later I can return to it, or load up AutoGK and it automatically sees an unfinished job and resumes the "second pass" at wherever it was at, and continues?

If this is not possible at the moment, will this feature be implemented in future?

woah!

whats stopping you from recording while gk does its thing?

i do that all the time with my pvr150 tv card and i encode at the same time. gk automatically sets itself to low priority with the cpu usage.

this is called "multi-tasking" in computer geek talk...
