Roger,

Im still having problems setting up a one click batch.

My work flow is as follows.

1. Select my project
2. Select Wav output and add it.
3. Select my project.
4. Select Microsoft AVi and then my 3ivx 1st pass and add it.
5. Select my project
6. Select Microsoft AVI and then my 3ivx 2nd pass and add it.

I repeat the above for each project for encode.
However, when I save the bacth file and then open to try and use it again, it is looking for the project name of the batch I saved,

Is there someway to maybe add a button that can have a batch file assigned to it that could automatically run the conversions needed.

My thought is like this.

1. Select Project.
2. Click Designated batch button,
3. Select render directory and run.

This would eliminate the need for me to select three different times and select three different profiles.

I hope I am making sense.

I'll write up a complete description tomorrow. It's after midnight in this part of the world, and if I do it now it won't be very clear :-)

Bump in great anticipation of Roger's tutorial.

Sorry for the wait, uploading it to www.rmtools.se/batchrenderpro.html in a moment.

Roger, just a couple things regarding your tutorials. For 3ivx and perhaps Divx, it doesnt matter if the first pass video is overwritten with the second video because all of the information is stored in a log file usually in the C drive.

The tutorial is fine for users that only have a handful of videos to convert. In my situation, I usually have 30-40 projects to encode at a time. As I said earlier, it would nice if there was a custom button that could be clicked that would have the 1st pass encode, the second pass encode, and the wav conversion and add it to the batch instead of manually adding each encode for the respective 1st and 2nd passes and the encode.

Let me know if I am not being clear enough. Kind of hard to explain what I am envisioning but I think it would be workable.

For one project you wouldn't have to add each render to the batch, you would just load your project in Vegas, start BRP and load the saved 2-pass batch (the batch if created correctly, isn't connected to a specific project) and render.

If you want to render several 2-pass projects in a row, then the Currently open project switch won't do much good. I'll give this some more thought and hopefully a better implementation will be completed for v1.1 (free upgrade). Sorry this doesn't help you right now, do you often have the need to render several 2-pass projects in a row?
