5.29
Add option to rerun NVEncC in ANSI mode. (--process-codepage os)
The previous NVEnc 5.28 has added Avisynth Unicode support, by running the app using UTF-8 as the codepage. On the other hand this requires Avisynth scripts to be in UTF-8. I had comments from some users that this cause problem with scripts using non-ASCII characters with legacy codepage, and also tools saving scripts in legacy codepage.
"--process-codepage os" is a switch to make the app run in the default codepage set in the OS, which shall allow AviSynth scripts using non-ASCII characters with legacy codepage to work again.
When this option is set, a copy of the exe file will be created in the same directory of the original exe file, and the manifest file of the copy will be modified using UpdateResourceW API to switch back code page to the default of the OS, and then the copied exe will be run, allowing us to handle the AviSynth scripts using legacy code page.

5.29
Add option to rerun NVEncC in ANSI mode. (--process-codepage os)
The previous NVEnc 5.28 has added Avisynth Unicode support, by running the app using UTF-8 as the codepage. On the other hand this requires Avisynth scripts to be in UTF-8. I had comments from some users that this cause problem with scripts using non-ASCII characters with legacy codepage, and also tools saving scripts in legacy codepage.
"--process-codepage os" is a switch to make the app run in the default codepage set in the OS, which shall allow AviSynth scripts using non-ASCII characters with legacy codepage to work again.
When this option is set, a copy of the exe file will be created in the same directory of the original exe file, and the manifest file of the copy will be modified using UpdateResourceW API to switch back code page to the default of the OS, and then the copied exe will be run, allowing us to handle the AviSynth scripts using legacy code page.
