I've started searching out and reading about setting up a job to process multiple videos. Can someone point me to instructions or a script that will enable VDub to remember varying filter settings for the videos to be processed in one batch? The color equalizer settings are different for each of the videos I typically would like to process in a batch. Is this possible?

Your post is a bit confusing about what you actually want

Using "the same settings" for a lot of files is easy
Using "different settings for each" is ???? What settings, how would you pick the settings? If you have to set them one by one, then how could you batch that?
Maybe you could explain what you actually want to do, as these two things seem to be opposites of each other

There are two ways offhand that you can batch files with the same settings

1) simple
set virtualdub up with all the filters and settings how you like them, then use either the 'batch wizard' on the file menu or 'process directory' on the job control dialogs edit menu

2) complicated
set virtualdub up with all the filters and settings how you like them, save the processing settings to a file and then use that with a .bat file to add files to the job control batch list
this has the advantage to just dragging files to a .bat on eg your desktop, but requires virtualdub to be used with a shared job list (this needs some setting up first)

There's also a third option, always start virtualdub with preset filters
To do that, start virtualdub, add and configure any filters you use a lot (untick any you add that you don't always use)
Configure and set processing modes, compressor and settings etc if you like as well
Save the processing settings to eg c:\MySettings.vdscript
Make a shortcut on the desktop for virtualdub, right click it and select 'properties'
In the target box, move to the end, add a space and then add (change the path to your own file)
CODE
/s "c:\MySettings.vdscript"

Click ok
Now when you start virtualdub from that shortcut it'll load your settings (and those filters you unticked will be easy to just tick instead of searching the list of all filters for them)

Queueing a job saves the filter settings individually for each job. I tested this to confirm my recollection: I loaded a video, set some filter settings, hit File menu, Queue batch operation, Save AVI. Then loaded another file, changed the filter settings and queued another Save. After executing the Job list, the two videos had the correct filters applied.

Thankyou. You answered my question perfectly.

@raffriff42
You're better at mind reading than I am
I never would have figured out he actually wanted to know if all the settings were saved while queuing a job from that question

To reiterate then, I asked in the first post: '(how I can) enable VDub to remember varying filter settings for the videos to be processed in one batch? The color equalizer settings are different for each of the videos.'

He answered it perfectly and, indeed, it does save all the videos in one batch with the varying filter settings intact for each of the videos.
