AviSynth Unicode support on Windows 10 1903 - staxrip/staxrip GitHub Wiki

All AviSynth apps used by StaxRip have a UTF-8 manifest to enable full Unicode support for AviSynth on Windows 10 1903 or higher:

• avs2pipemod.exe (StaxRip Mod)
• ffmpeg.exe (Patman Mod)
• mpv.exe
• mpvnet.exe
• NVEnc.exe
• QSVEnc.exe
• StaxRip.exe
• VCEEnc.exe
• x264.exe (Original/Patman Mod)
• x265.exe (Asuna/DJATOM/Patman Mod)

On Windows 10 1903 or higher all these apps expect AviSynth scripts to be UTF-8 encoded, ANSI encoded scripts don't work.

Developers can find the required manifest here:

The tool Resource Hacker can display the application manifest.
