I have used AGK several times with great success with both its own codec as well as the DIVX codec. I'm finding that my wife is asking more & more frequently for subtitles.since she started having hearing difficulties. I even used the DIVX Converter when it came out but most times the subtitles which it produced were in the wrong place more often than not. I recently tried that program again & now find that about 7 out of 10 times that the subtitles are in the correct place, even though they are often really a littles smaller than she likes.

I would really prefer creating my MPEG4 files using AGK since it gives me more options that DIVX. Unless I have missed something am I correct in assuming that getting subtitles into an AGK created file is a lot more difficult that using the Converter? Is there any easy way to add subtitles in AGK & if so how is this done?

TS Transport Streams files created by PC TV tuner cards also often have subtitles embedded into there files. Is there any easy way to take a TS files, chop out the adds in some program like VideoReDo & then encode into MPEG4 using AGK?

As for the subtitles, once you´ve loaded your movie, hit f8 and add your external subs . You can even click the preview to see it´s all lovely and in time.

Thanks for your reply but I already have VideoReDo & can easily trim my MPEG2 or transport file using this. Apparently having a trimmed TS stream doesn't seem to allow you an any easy way to keep its subtitles so that it can be converted to XVID or DIVX.
