Easy 2-pass batch encoding with VirtualDub

Hello everyone! I made this little tool for my own purposes, but have decided to share the joy with you people :). It uses only virtualdub and two simple DOS batch files. The purpose is to make easy 2-pass encoding of a whole batch of avi/mpg files. I use it to recompress older series/episodes to the new DivX 5. With a little tweaking it could probable be sued with other versions of VirtualDub. Instructions: 1) Unpack the Zip file in your VirtualDub directory 2) Make a new directory called input in your VirtualDub directory 3) Copy all your input files to the input directory 4) Use VirtualDub to create two configuration files, just as you normally would when making 2-pass encodes. Call them "1pass.vcf" and "2pass.vcf" and save them in your VirtualDub directory 5) Execute the 2pass.bat and follow the instructions Enjoy! Iznobad

I'm not sure what this is doing differently than vdub's internal jobs, but thanks anyways.

Does it work? 

Wow! 50 downloads and only a single comment (although i did get one by mail) Does it work as it should? Do you have any experiences with it? Any ideas for improvement? Regards, Iznobad

Where's the zip file??

@forjack842 I don't know :S It's a thread from 2002 so I guess they changed the forum archives and deleted attachments. Either way, they probably won't work with current versions of virtualdub anyway. I tend to use "Handbrake" for my encodes now a days, with the excellent "VidCoder" frontend
