View Full Version : 2-pass encoding + process all directory ?

I'm looking for an application which allows me to automatically encode in 2-pass mode all the AviSynth scripts included in the same directory. I've tried to use the Process Directory feature of VirtualDubMod ( File > Job Control... > Edit > Process Directory... ), but I have to reorder the jobs in order to alternate first and second pass for each file ...
Are there other apps which would better handle 2-pass encoding for an entire directory ?
Thanks for your help.

Do you mean you want each avs file made into a seperate avi or that you want to process all the scripts and make one avi?

You should be able to do what you want either using DubMan to create suitable VirtualDub jobs or via a batch file by calling avs2avi.

With avs2avi you can generate a two pass xvid settings file and then use that file during encoding so you needn`t later manually edit the settings for each pass.

You could use a batch file (.bat) to encode using avs2avi for the video, besweet or headac3he for audio and Avi_Mux_Gui to mux them all together.

They all have command line support so can all be run via the command line and therefore also a batch file.

Hi Mentalmummy,

Thank a lot for your feedback.
Actually, I'd want to encode each avs file into a separate avi and I'm looking for the easiest way to process an entire directory containing many avs files. I'm using VirtualDubMod so far ( Process Directory feature ), but I have to do it for the 1st pass, then the second pass and reorder the jobs ...
I'll try DubMan and avs2avi to see if it facilitates the process.
Best regards.
