automating in avisynth/vd

[sander815]

i am capping a daily show to plase it on the net for others to see it; only problem is that it is starting to become a lot of work to do this daily: demux, convert audio, edit avs script, open script in VD, compress twice etc.
Is there a way to automate this? The filenames are basically the same, except for the date

I have a similar issue (except mine is with DVDs not, captured shows). I employed a dual core-client scripting system.

The core consists of every function that is common to all of my movies. Things like MPEG2Source, Lanczos4Resize, AssumeFPS, etc.

The client script consists of all the variables necessary to make the core function. Such as the file name of the video, the size you want to resize to, etc.

Declare all of your variables in the client script, then use Import () to add the core, and if done right, you've effectively automated your scripting. Can't really help you with the other steps though....
