B). Now open Gspot.

1. Select Options > Export
 

1.      Check: enable exporting.
2.   Select: Custom using the format file below
3.   Browse the Info.txt you have saved previous in Gspot Folder.
4.   Check: Allow Overwrite
5.   One File Per Avi (auto-name & location)(default option)
6.   Save as Default
7.   Hit ok & close Gspot.  

 

Gspot now is setup!!!

The last step:

Now go to movie you like to make an .NFO.
1). Right-click > Open With > Gspot Codec Information Appliance


 

Close Gspot.
A text document will automatic appear in the same directory.

Open the text document with notepad.
1). Select file > Save as: Leave the name and change the extension .txt to .nfo

 
 



Note:
You need to add manual the IMDB Link & the rating.

You can change in export setup the output files: always append to same file (specify name).
With this you can create the .NFO automatic without Notepad to change .TXT to .NFO.
Only remember to save as .NFO.
However you still have to change the .NFO name.
