AutoGK Batch processor

I use AutoGK for processing and converting my videos from one format to another (divx, xvid etc). It’s a great piece of software and easy to use, but there hasn’t been an update to this software for quite awhile. AutoGK does support batch processing, by simply adding each video to it’s queue.

The form data has expired – CFFORM
