When you mention you need to download Gordian Knot, is Auto GK the same thing? Anyone have a link to the correct release please?
Many thanks.

Great guide, ADM.
I'm new to the world of fan edits, and I'm attempting one, but I've hit what seems to be a major snag.
I used DVD Decrypter to extract a movie to the hard drive. I used Womble MPEG Video Wizard to make my edits. And then I used NeroVision Express to author a new disc. The finished product would have been great but for one thing:
The video is choppy. Not horribly so, but enough that you might get a headache watching it. Looks as if a frame is skipped every second. What should be fluid motion turns into an effect that looks like the camera is moving around jerkily.
This is disheartening because I've seen customized movies that have no problem whatsoever. Yet I can't seem to get mine to work right. I've tried TMPGenc for the re-encoding phase, but to no avail. Only thing that helped was reducing the maximum bitrate, but even that didn't result in a perfectly clean copy.
What am I missing? Why am I getting jerky video? What are other editors doing that I'm not?

Could be any number of things. Most likely the combined bitrate is too high. If it's not that, it could be that the source had two different framerates. Or aspect ratios. Or the settings of the export could have any number of flags. I recommend checking those places first, and see if it resolves. I've often had to mux a film over a dozen times before I'm happy with it. I'll get all the way through previewing it and see a bad frame here or something off there and have to go back to the project file, make the trim or settings change, duplicate it in the audio, re-export the streams and re-mux the disc.
Blade Runner 2008 darn near killed me ... haven't done an edit in six months as a result, because I really wanted that one to be right and at the same time make fans as happy as possible with all the audio options.
In my early days of editing my problems were technical ones, not unlike what you're talking about. Hopefully the points in paragraph 1 will help you out.

Is there any easy free way to just convert some of my vids from like avi to mp4? I would really rather not go out and buy software. Your help is most appreciated thanks!
www.videohelp.com has info on the latest tools. AutoGordianKnot is probably your best bet.

This may have been covered before, but actually it is possible to crossfade ac3 in womble. Just not automatically. (as in you can't just hit a fade button).
You just load 2 tracks that overlap in Womble, use the point audio editor, have one fade out and the other fade in overlapping. Sorry this isn't a very detailed explanation, but I'm sure anyone who is willing to do this is capable of figuring it out.
No need to use the point audio editor.
Just select an audio track, right-click and select "Fade" (Alt-F). You can then set by frames, seconds or time code the fade-in at the beginning and the fade-out at the end for the clip.
By not using the point editor, Womble can output direct stream of the audio with only the fade in/out points being re-encoded.

In case you need to do ac3 editing beyond cutting the whole thing (such as muting a line but keeping the sound effects) the FREEWARE and excellent program Audacity now has full 5.1 ac3 support. No more hypercube transcoder and then wav to ac3 again, you can now just demux the ac3, edit in audacity, save and mux back again. I reccomend this, I've been using audacity for years for other audio, and now it has ac3.
