Process directory + 2 pass encoding ?

[MaeWanto]

I would like to use the process directory feature ( File > Job Control... > Edit > Process Directory... ) in order to encode all the AviSynth scripts stored in the same folder. The encoding parameters ( XviD codec ) should be the same for all the files, but I wonder how to manage the 2-pass encoding process : how are handled the video.pass and 1st pass avi for each file and how to indicate the result file names ( 2nd pass ) ???
Is it possible to use the Process Directory feature with a 2-pass encoding process ?
Thanks for your help.

only if you re-order the joblist

say if you wanna do 5 2-passes, the order of jobs would be:

1,6,2,7,3,8,4,9,5,10

if you could get xvid to name the statsfile the same as the saved avi-file that would be great... but dont think its possible :(

Thanks a lot for your advice, I'll try it. BTW, would you know another application than VDM which would support XviD 2-pass encoding in batch mode ?

uhm... dont know...

the problem is of course that VirtualDub (or any encoding app) doesnt know what a 2-pass is. When doing the first pass VDub still think it is just encoding video.
