G'day.
I'm looking for a way to automate (script) conversion of mpeg2 files to XviD, using a given matrix, bit rate, filter set etc and two passes.
I've been using VirtualDub command line processing, via VBS. Gives me commands like:
VirtualDub.exe /sC:SDTVpass1.vcf /p"TV SHOW.mpg", "tmp_TV SHOW.avi" /r /x
VirtualDub.exe /sC:SDTVpass2.vcf /p"TV SHOW.mpg", "TV SHOW.avi" /r /x
I had earlier saved pass1 and pass2 XviD settings in the respected .vcf files, BUT in looking at the two .vcf files they appear to be identical. Bit perfect in fact.
Have I been fooling myself and doing single pass runs, twice??? :confused:
the tmp_ file is (as expected) audio only...and the final avi looks fine. But how does XviD 'know' settings like 2 pass and matrix. The Registry storing "last used" values??
