TMPGEnc (2.00)'s Batch Encode

[AP Enterprises Ltd]

The Batch Encode is so that you can add a whole bunch of AVI's in the order you want on a big list and then TMPGEnc will encode all of them into one MPEG file, right?

Well if you put two AVI's right next to each other on the list that must SEAMLESSLY play through one after the other, will the resulting MPEG have a short pause or jerk (in video or sound) between the two files, or will there be no notice at all that they were two separate AVI's and play smooth?

Don't understand? Take it like this:
2 AVI's: 1 with a picture of a ball moving from the left side of the screen to the half way point, 1 with the ball continuing from the half way point to the right side of the screen; AVI was split into two from 1 AVI of the ball going straight from left to right, music playing continuously in the background.

Will the MPEG join the two AVIs so that the result is an MPEG where music plays without pausing and the ball doesn't jerk or stop?

The past way to do this is the frame serve the segemented AVIs to TMPG w/ AVISynth:

Dude. Yes or No. Anyone try it?

Batch encode mode is to encode a bunch of avi's to a bunch of MPEG's. The advantage of batch encoding is, that you don't need to configure and start every conversion seperately. For example, you want to convert 10 5min avi's, but you you don't want to hit "start" every 10 or 15 minutes. So you create a batch encode list, add the 10 avi's, hit once "run" and after 2-3 hours the 10 conversions are done.

What you want have to be done with segmented avi's.
Exactly what Vejita-sama said.

Wrong AFAIK and the only way I've ever used it, is to process a whole bunch of AVI's / D2Vs etc into a whole bunch of MPEGs. Not one.

If you give each project in the batch the same output file it will overwrite them with each successive job.
