I can open an mp4 file (Files of type: > ffmpeg supported files) and save the processing settings.
If I subsequently load the settings and attempt to run a batch of mp4 files using 'Job Control', the output files are blank.
Seems that the script doesn't remember the 'ffmpeg supported files' bit.
Any way around this?

? works fine for me
I do all my files with job control, lining up new ones while a second instance is churning through the list

In the .jobs file there should be a line that opens the video like
VirtualDub.Open("c:\\something.avi","ffmpeg",0);
The "ffmpeg" bit means use the ffmpeg decoder, if it's empty then that means use whatever says it can load that file

I used 'Save processing settings' and get a .vdscript file;it doesn't have the line mentioned.
I guess I'll have to look into the job file thingy.

I misread your first post sorry...

The choice of plugin isn't saved with save processing settings
The plugin setting is per-file and only saved in job control

If you reload a file from job control (the way you are doing it now that gives blank files) you can check the file information to see what plugin is being used, you could probably delete the offending plugin

So I have to open an .mp4 file, adjust settings, then 'File' >'Queue batch operation' > 'Save as AVI...' to generate Job 1.
Repeat for subsequent files.
Finally, 'Job control' to start the batch?

Pretty much, yeah
Or you can do a search and replace with the jobs file in a text editor

You can also run two(or more) virtualdubs in master/slave modes
Where you have the slave(s) doing the encoding of a shared jobs list, and a master that just adds jobs to the list
That's what I do, the slave has a long list to do, and I just add extra jobs with the master as it churns through them
