The term has come to refer to an intricate problem, especially a problem insoluble in its own terms; a question that keeps leading you endlessly in loops, circling back around to the origin.

Does this sound familiar to those of us who have tried to export our movies to different formats ? The endless options and check boxes ? The bitstreams and bit rates ? You’ve made your film, spent countless hours shooting, editing and grading not to mention the dark art of colour correction and now you want to get it on to the web. Well fear not as whereas Alexander The Great had to cut the Gordian Knot with his sword to solve the problem you can rely on Auto GK.

AutoGK is a simpler version of Gordian Knot. It is an integrated package for DVD to DivX/XviD/x264 encoding which combines multiple free software packages to perform the various tasks needed to rip, demux, encode, multiplex and split to size. It thereby attempts to combine most tasks with a single frontend and is largely automated.

This is great for creating files for Stage 6, You Tube etc and takes away a lot of the pain. Jamie from Whiteroom Productions recommended it to me and passed on John, his colleagues, formula for usage.
