    Yup, sorry, my bad. The "phone home" feature is for checking for updates and CAN be disabled. Thanks to jorgosch (a.k.a. smartypants :) ) below for pointing that out for me.
    I should have rated it 3 stars instead of 2, so now I'm giving it 4 stars to average :)

    Damn, I miss G-Spot, which was sooo much more advanced, and gave so much more "intelligent" info. :(

    Very useful program, I use it all the time ,for example to check the encoding profile on Matroska Files.
    To the reviewer below: This software is free, why not read a few ads during install so the programmer gets SOME kind of benefit. The most important thing is that there's no adware or spyware whatsoever in the program itself. And if you disable "Check for new versions" it won't even connect to the internet, smartypants...

    Nope, sorry, I like the program but this is too much:
    - Includes ads, albeit only during install/unistall (as the developer himself wrote a few reviews below) -> adware
    - Tries to phone home every time it runs (what for?) And this can't be prevented from inside the program

    This used to be a great program with an awful interface. The awful interface is still there, but the program isn't so great anymore

    Other than using it portably from send to menu, autogk also uses this. 2.11mb folder if dll is also compressed.
