Hello,
I had a look at your application, pretty cool stuff, nice work! I have been using ffmpeg and AviSynth for quite a while now also, I am curious as to why there are no options for x264 or XviD in an .mp4 container? All the current ffmpeg builds natively support x264. I think adding x264 and Flash support would open up this application to a much larger audience, that's just an opinion so take it as you will. Thanks for sharing your work!My Site: http://www.bandshed.net/AVLinux.html

You can also override any basic setting on the video command line, so if you put -vcodec h64 or libx64 there, the basic setting is ignored.
XviD is there as XviD (for older FFmpeg versions) and XviD (Lib) for newer. Some of the codec names are changed in the latest FFmpeg builds. There's also a XviD FourCC option.
XviD in mp4 is already there: set video codec to XviD or XviD (Lib) and the codec suffix field to PS. Then You see that the mp4 extension is automatically added.
Thanks for your reply,

Hello,
With every version of ffmpeg I throw at it I get the "This FFmpeg version doesn't support Avisynth (AVS options disabled)" message. I am most certain that the builds I'm using support AviSynth. I've even used the same version that you mentioned in your original post (SVN-r9767) only to get the same message.
I'm confused.
Overall, this looks verrry promising!!! Thank you for all the work put into this! -

Give me some time to check.

I surely have to find a better way to check for Avisynth.
There is also a "weird" trick to fool the program by removing the line "AssumeFPS("ntsc_film")" from the version.avs script. Afaik the program then will start with Avisynth support. -

But I keep on torturing my brains to find out what goes wrong. -
Is there someone with the Avisynth startup problem capable to inverstigate the registry.
at "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software" there must be a Avisynth key.
This is the dump from my machine:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Avisynth]
@="C:\\Program Files\\AviSynth 2.5"
"plugindir2_5"="C:\\Program Files\\AviSynth 2.5\\plugins"
If this key isn't there then this causes the problem. It probably has to do with machines with different users. If you startup on a particular username and then install software (Avisynth in this case) these keys are written in HKEY_CURRENT_USER instead of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE. My machine always boots up on the Administrator.
Do not change anything at the registry if you are not experienced.
If I know for sure I can upload a new "Avanti-GUI.exe" which doesn't check for that key. -

I have two user profiles but I always log into the same one which has admin rights.
That registry key, on my machine, is located at HKEY_CURRENT_MACHINE and not under HKEY_CURRENT_USER.
Does this help?
@Soopafresh,
Thanks for the link! -

The fact that your screenshots show the FFmpeg header indicates that this
system works fine on your computer(s). You can also check if the FFmpeg
commands and formats/codecs lists are available at the (top right) Help button.
After this seems to be done correctly, the program is going to check if the
FFmpeg version can handle AVS scripts anyway. It first runs the version2.avs
script. This script is valid for all Avisynth versions so if the program gets no
valid response from FFmpeg in its buffer, this means the FFmpeg version doesn't
support Avisynth.
This is the point where it goes wrong!
If it doesn't go wrong (which means the FFmpeg version supports Avisynth),
the program is going to check which version of Avisynth is installed.
The program runs FFmpeg with the version.avs script. This script has a line
in it that is only valid for Avisynth 2.57 or higher.
This is done with exactly the same code as used for the first test. If it fails
at this point you will get the message:
"Installed Avisynth version doesn't support Avisynth AUTO options."
This means, you can use Avisynth but some advanced option are not available.
In your case this part is never reached.

I don't understand how to get Avanti to do 2-pass encoding?

Hi Folks - I just renamed my folder from AviSynth 2.5 to AviSynth 2.5.7 and that seemed to fix the issue, now I get:
11:12:53 - Valid FFmpeg/Avisynth combi found (Avisynth AUTO options enabled).
When the folder was renamed back to AviSynth 2.5, I got this message:
11:15:08 - This FFmpeg version doesn't support Avisynth (AVS options disabled).
and back to AviSynth 2.5.7
11:16:27 - Valid FFmpeg/Avisynth combi found (Avisynth AUTO options enabled).
Hope this helps -
GENIUS wiseant!!!!!
That worked! Now fingers are crossed in hopes that renaming that folder has no adverse effects on anything AviSynth-related I do from now on. -

I have installed Avisynth at the default path (Program files) and the directory is still named "Avisynth 2.5".
Sorry if there's some delay between my replies. I'm very busy elsewhere at the moment.

Problem after renaming will be that the auto plug-in load option of Avisynth still refers to the old path which it has stored in the registry. You could change it there manually if the re-installation give reversed problems (that you again have to rename it to make it work).
A general note about renaming: Never rename "Avanti-GUI.exe". The program uses the filename as a "mutex" to prevent from running a second instance of it. If you do this while you have already a encode process running, the first process would be abruptly canceled. Not fatal but if you're halfway a encoding process of a few hours, this wouldn't make you happy. -

/dev/null is somthing that only works in Linux afaik.
Someone came up with nul.avi and I did some experiments with that. This does work but I have some doubts about this because Windows occasionally came up with something like "File path doesn't exists". I first want to know where (or how) nul is exactly stored.
The example you give is a batch file but with that FFmpeg also runs twice. Two pass always runs twice and the only thing nul.avi does is suppress the writing to disk. This could speed up things a little but it doesn't save diskspace bacause without nul.avi the created file at the first pass will be overwritten at the second pass.
Actually by now the only difference is that you have to start the second pass manually.
I will consider to add a automatic 2-pass option to the program in a future version. -
