Batch render in VirtualDub?

[Asterra]

I've got about a dozen different things which need to be rendered off. They pretty much have to be done in VirtualDub because I want to keep the colorspace YUV for now. Each one takes about three hours to complete, and before I start each I have to set up begin/end points to save render time.

Since I am looking at literally days of rendering, and I won't be staring at the computer all of the time, it makes sense to try to set up a batch render if I can. Is this even possible?

Look for job control and batch operation. It does have the function. Its under the file menu. It might be worded slightly different from the version I used to look it up (plain vdub from a early 2010 release - I don't use it on this computer I'm typing on - old single core reserved for surfing).

Yeah, I see Job Control. There is an astonishing lack of how-to information on that function. Like how do I tell it I've got my edit points set up and I'm ready to add a "save as AVI" to the list? I'll keep looking.

Think I got it. There's a lot of arbitrary menu inconsistency between Vdub iterations but I believe I found what I needed. Thanks.

Glad you got it.

Yes as good as virtualdub is the software layout is quite a bit different between each altered version.
