Batch Processing in VDub

[nOmArch]

How??????? i've been trying to work it out for the last hour and im not getting anywhere!

im guessing its to do with the script or job files but theres nothing in the help file about how to set either up and my web searches have been equally unhelpful. all the sites swear that vdub supports batch processing just none of them tell you how to do it

im desperate to get batch processing working as i can get 3 or 4 files processed a night which will cut down on edit time considerably!!

I don't know.

after a bit more searching on the web, i found an application that allows you to create vdub job files which you can use for batch processing. this is going to speed things up a lot for me!

It's pretty easy.

Put together the first video and set everything up how you want it encoded.
Pull down file menu and select "Save As" (or F7)
Fill everything out and check the box "Don't Run this job now; add it to job control so I can run it in batch mode." (Pretty cryptic right?)
Click the "Save" button at the bottom.

Do this for all your videos, each time use Save-As and make sure that box is checked (it should stay checked).
When you're ready pull down the file menu, select "Job Control" (or F4) and click the Start button.
And away you go.

I couldn't figure it out on my own either.
I learned it in a guide that taught me to do 2-pass divx manually with the original VDub way back when.
