You mean my AVS script? I pretty much just use avisynth to put together the pieces, because I always render the lossless movie in several parts, which fit on a BD25, so that I can back them up easily:
Here's the script I used for the ESB worprint:
reel1=AVISource("N:\ESB v2.0 file 1.avi", audio=false)
reel1
assumefps(24000,1001)
And that's it.
As to SSD, I actually just bought another 2TB HDD for my system, because I had some trouble having the system on a 3TB HDD and I managed (after quite a fight) to move my system to this new HDD. I really need all the HDD space I can get and I have worked with my friend's PC, who has an SSD and it wasn't all that - yes, his system and programs start faster but the difference didn't seem that huge to me - the longest wait, when I start my system, is before the motherboard beeps and the booting starts, which would be exactly as long with an SSD and I doubt the programs would run much faster once they were loaded because then they're running from RAM and Swap file, which shouldn't be on the SSD and the data I'd be using also shouldn't be on the SSD, so an SSD would probably save me like 5 minutes total every day, which is why I decided to forgo an SSD and just go with more HDD space.
