Basics and General Workflow
Preparation
downloading a source, looking at the video, some decisions (resolution(s) for the release, audio codec, group-specific requirements)
Writing the Script
imports, source filter (mention lsmash, ffms2), examples for resizing, debanding, AA. with images if possible
Encoding the Result
$ vspipe.exe script.vpy -y - | x264.exe --demuxer y4m --some example --parameters here --output video.264 -
Editors for VapourSynth usually have inbuilt support for encoding
scripts you wrote. Use %encode --y4m <clip_variable>
in Yuuno or the GUI
provided by VSEdit.
Transcoding Audio
examples for qaac, flac
Muxing
mkvtoolnix
