Avanti template update  (for versions older then 0.2.9).


From FFmpeg version SVN-r15263 up the syntax of a few often used commands is changed.

       -me has become -me_method
  
       -flags +trell has become -trellis 1

The old syntax is not supported anymore so using this will cause a FFmpeg error.

These commands are used in 34 of the 56 templates which are included in the Avanti 0.2.7 and 0.2.8 zip packages.

If you use FFmpeg SVN-r15263 or higher you need to update (overwrite) the templates in the "templates" folder of your Avanti install directory with those from the  "template_update" folder in this zip file.


avanti_template_update.7z

Unfortunately this change may be in conflict with the Avanti option to easily switch over to another FFmpeg version.
  
Older versions back to SVN-r10464 will still work with this new set of templates but if you have to revert to a earlier version, you need to restore the old templates. You can do this from the "template_restore" folder which is also included in the zip file.
