	AVANTI on Windows 7.
	====================

	Avanti has compatibility issues on Windows 7. You can however run Avanti on this
	operating system if you follow the next installation instructions which may be
	also applicable on Windows 8 (not tested) ...

	General notes for all Windows 7 versions;

	Run Avanti from a desktop shortcut or the official Windows Explorer shell.
	Running from thirth party shells like e.g. "Total Commander" may get issues.

	The Avanti Install path should not exceed a total length of 256 characters
	including file names.

	Run Avanti as a native Windows 7 application.


	Windows 7 (32-bit).
	===================

	Copy the in the zip included "Avanti-GUI-073" folder to a location of your choice.
	Do NOT change the folder name. By keeping this folder name we had stable results
	on all HDD's and partitions of our Windows 7 test system. 

	If still issues, change the length of the install path a bit by adding or removing
	a few characters to/from the folder name.

	Also run the "avanti_jobs_test.job" if you plan to use the batch processing option.
	It should finish the list without any interruptions.


	Windows 7 x64 (64-bit).
	=======================

	According to the Microsoft recommendations, 32-bit applications should be installed
	in the "Program Files (x86)" folder at you boot drive. Everything written for the
	Windows 7 32-bit version is also applicable here.

	Use a full 32-bit tool chain i.e. do not use a 64-bit FFmpeg and/or Avisynth version.
	There will not be much gain in speed. Some reported it's even slower with this setup.
	For speed you need more cores.
