I have a video that has moderate complexity in the left pane and high complexity (but not that important) on the right. I found it far more efficient to encode them separately, one with CRF22 one with CRF30 then play them back stacked horizontal in an AVS script.
You might tell me to use a lower qcomp but the fact of the matter is that both parts of the video are complex but the right pane is random text for the most part that is rarely useful so a lower qcomp will destroy more important details on the left.
I might upload this video as a torrent but I'm wondering if the predominantly newb population will be able to play it properly if I include the two videos, the AVS script and perhaps an instructions.txt. Most will not have Avisynth installed at all so might lament the extra step to download it but providing they do desire to see both panes of the video and do install Avisynth, will the average player be able to play an .AVS without problems?
I only use Winamp and MPC both of whom employ Directshow so I can't look at this from a newb's point of view.

What if they want to view the video on a Mac or on an Andoid tablet/phone?

Another possibility would be to include two concurrent video streams in one file. But I don't know how many players can handle that. Most that do will open two separate windows.

Jagabo, the two streams are encoded with different settings so I don't think any muxer could put them in one file and even if it could most players would have difficulty as you say. This is not about joining two MKVs together, this is about joining two videos visually and I've never heard of this being possible. Can MKVmerge do this?
@Vidd
Tough luck, all the videos I do are adjusted for compression efficiency, not compatibility. -
A good container can store many video tracks, many audio tracks and many subtitle tracks,
if you have or don't have a software or firmware to handle the stuff is another story.
Even the infamous ASF can do that. MKVs and transport streams are much superior, of course -
You were right, VLC does play both streams but to my best knowledge MPC can't do this. A lot of people on the net do use VLC to play videos out of laziness and they would have to select "track 2" to open the other video in the stream, but it's hard to say how many really use VLC. It's a mediocre player anyway that's only popular because of the brainless setup.
I guess I'll go with my instinct on this one. But can anyone tell me if any other player besides MPC would accept AVS input if Avisynth is installed?
Multiple tracks is one thing, what I didn't know was that any player could play multiple video tracks at the same time.
