Before the latest version, these would start almost immediately, but on the current version (I think I updated in-app and it said to build #1114), each of these processes takes well over the 5 minutes before deadlocking kicks in. I've even tried manually indexing the files but the same outcome occurs.

Is there anything I can provide you with to assist?

Edit: Seems it was source-specific. I tried a different source and it had none of the same issues.
Well, the included avs2yuv hasn't changed for ages. x264 has been updated recently, but there should be no change effecting "startup" time.

If avs2yuv or x264 takes a long time to start or even triggers "deadlock" detection, then it almost certainly means that Avisynth (or more precisely: your Avisynth script) takes a very long time to initialize.

A typical cause for this is FFMS2 (or whatever source filter you use) taking a long time to index the source. But there could be other reasons, e.g. your script is just painfully slow overall.
