xvid's stats file...

[SledgeHammer_999]

hi I am doing a mass conversion using virtualdub meaning: I have a lot of video files in the job queue. All of them are going to be encoded in xvid. For all of them in xvid's settings I used the same path for the stats file ("\pass.stats"). I use a 2-pass method. My question is this: When the 1st pass for each file begins will it erase the previously created .stats file? If not, should I use different stats files for each video?

In case you are wondering this is how it is in the job queue:
Let's assume video files "a" and "b"

a - 1st pass
a - 2nd pass
b - 1st pass
b - 2nd pass
etc

I am asking this question because I suspect that xvid appends at the end of the stats file and not creating a new one. But I haven't monitored it, so I may be wrong.

Anyway I am using ver1.2.-127(koepi)

No, it just overwrites each time, and unlike megui won't use different stats files for different encodes. And yes, each video must have its own stats; even if it doesn't error out, it'll totally mess up the encoding to use something else's.
