Simple AVS Generator

What's the purpose of this project ?

This project was created to make my life easier

It creates scripts to re-encode videos using AviSynth+

The generated AviSynth+ scripts make use of the L-SMASH-Works plugin which must be placed in the relevant AviSynth+ plugin folders [plugins+ for the 32bit dll and plugins64+ for the 64bit]

Tools required in your path

Tool	Category	Filename
avs2pipemod	AviSynth+	avs2pipemod.exe
AVSMeter	AviSynth+	AVSMeter64.exe
x264	Video Encoders	x264.exe
x265	Video Encoders	x265.exe
AOM	Video Encoders	aomenc.exe
qaac*	Audio Encoders	qaac64.exe
opustools	Audio Encoders	opusenc.exe
GPAC	Multiplexing Tools	mp4box.exe

• qaac relies on CoreAudioToolbox.dll which is installed with the standalone iTunes installer

Tips

• Personally, I use PotPlayer to play the scripts
• If for some reason the scripts were originally playing and it doesn't anymore, a Windows update probably caused that, reinstall AviSynth+ to get it to play again

Required setup

• Visual Studio 2022 17.10.5 or later
