2 video sources in 1 .avs script?

[Qyot27]

Basically, Import treats AviSynth scripts like AVISource treats AVIs, MPEG2Source treats d2v files, etc. There are only two instances where I remember using Import. The first is when I need to filter two or more distinctly different parts of the same video but there are other operations I need to take of first, in which case I set up the main script to do general filtering, and then another script that uses Import, Trim, the specific filtering, and splicing (the + and ++ arguments) commands to fit it back together.

The other instance is when doing a pseudo bait-and-switch technique where there are simple scripts opening the MJPEG files (these simple scripts would have the same exact filenames as the ones that work with the vobs), and a bunch of scripts that Import one of the MJPEG loading scripts and use Trim to isolate individual clips, so you don't have to open the whole episode in the editor at once (I learned the hard way that Premiere 6.5 does not like this, although if it's kept below ~70 'clips' there shouldn't be a problem - mileage may vary with newer computers or Premiere Pro). On a simpler level, it could just be used in that capacity to automate generating AVI clips from the master vob scripts using VirtualDub's Job Control (the Process Directory option, to be exact).
