This is a small tool based on gircobain's AutoGK Tweaker. (For information on that tool, see the Doom9 forum thread linked below.) AutoGKTweaker.exe is copied as-is from the original package; AGKPal's VDMReplacement.exe is what makes it different.
AGKPal lets you indirectly edit the scripts that Auto Gordian Knot uses to encode your video files. Instead of making changes to the .avs file manually at each stage of encoding, you write regular expressions (patterns) and AGKPal makes the changes for you.
The changes you tell AGKPal to make are stored in a file, agkpal.xml, in the same folder as your video files. (Specifically, it's just outside the agk_tmp folder where AutoGK stores its temporary AVS scripts.) If you want to apply the same settings to many files at once, make sure they're in the same folder!
Start AutoGK, then start AutoGKTweaker.exe. Add a job to AutoGK and start it; the AGKPal Countdown dialog box will appear automatically during the job.
AGKPal lets you edit the AviSynth script that AutoGK created by searching for certain patterns of text and replacing them with new text. With this powerful feature, you can add, remove, or change steps of the video processing path.
Click the "AVS Pattern Editor" button in the countdown window. The AVS Script Search and Replace dialog box will appear.
Use the buttons at the top of the window to clear the list of patterns or insert sample patterns.
Enter the patterns you want in the grid. In the first column, put a regular expression that matches part of the AVS file. In the second column, enter the text you want to replace that part with. You can use special sequences in the second column:
Click the "Preview" button to see how the AVS file will look after applying the patterns. Remember that the first time you see AGKPal's countdown, it'll probably be for some boring AutoGK step like motion analysis, so you might want to wait until the first encoding pass is starting to make your changes.
Click "Edit Codec Options" to edit the settings for the codec AutoGK is using. Your changes will be saved, but you might need to enter them after each pass (see Known Issues).
Click "Default Codec Options" to return to AutoGK's codec settings if you've made a change. If you haven't changed them, or if you've already clicked the button once, it will delete all saved codec settings from other passes.
AGKPal requires the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 and has been tested with AutoGK version 1.96.
