I changed the .xml settings to 16 and especially hard subbed the subtitles come out nicely.
But that's no biggie. Once changed it's set until I update the app.
It's on my ToDo list (already for a long time, as a matter of fact)

If there was a way to detect the hang and revert to plan B audio processing that would eliminate popping in just to see if the audio conversion hung. One could just leave it with confidence
Main problem is to predict if Aften will hang, or why Aften sometime is hanging. Any hint is appreciated.

Now QuEnc seems to pop up quickly on the dual core too. Don't have a clue why.
The reason could be that FFMpegSource is selected (going down in the A2DSource function tree: AVISource->DirectShowSource->FFMpegSource). FFMpegSource needs to index the source before starting to sequentially read it. It takes time.

AVISource and DSS instead don't do indexing, so they are faster, even if sometimes inaccurate.

For sure AviSynth experts could explain much much better...

Thanks for the feedback! I agree that HCenc VBR 1-pass is amazing.
