	Avanti GUI version 0.7.4
	========================


	1. Copy the "Avanti-GUI-074" folder or its contents to a directory of your choice.

	2. Copy a recent (2013) "ffmpeg.exe" and "ffplay.exe" executable to the "ffmpeg"
	   folder at your Avanti install directory.

	3. Open the "User Preferences" at the top left toolbar button menu and select
	   your preferred settings (optional).

	For information about supported FFmpeg builds and other details, visit the
	Avanti home page at http://avanti.arrozcru.org

	Avanti supports context sensitive help. Press the <F1> key if you need help on
	a particular subject.


	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).
	===================

	We had stable test results at several arbitrary install paths on both 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.
