Leave the proxy mode (VD\aviproxy subdir) alone, you may need it later.
Avisynth. Copy Avisynth to any dir. Copy Avisynth.dll to c:\winnt\system32\ resp. c:\windows
\system\. Then run Install.reg. I suggest to use Avisynth 1.0 beta5.
Since it is not bugfree you may try Avisynth 1.0beta7d. Note, that you have to uninstall one version
by running Uninstall.reg before you install a different version.
VFAPI. Copy VFAPIConv. to any dir. Change to the CODEC subdir and install the VFAPI codec by

running vifpset.bat.
Nativly you can open projects of DVD2AVI, TMPGEnc. and Aviutl in VFAPIConv, if you have installed
and registered the corresponding VFAPI plugins. In Order to have VirtualDub and Avisynth scrips to
be recognized by VFAPIconv you have to copy ReadAVS.dll to the VFAPI Reader dir.
Open ReadAVS.reg with notepad and replace the typed path with the real path to the DLL.
Save and close ReadAVS.reg. Then run ReadAVS.reg by doubleclicking on it.
Used MPEG encoders

Different MPEG encoders need a different frameserver setup. That's why I tested all methods with
the following (probably most popular) encoders.
TMPGEnc.2.53 plus
TMPGEnc.Beta 12a
Cinema Craft Encoder SP 2.50
Cinema Craft Encoder SP 2.64
Ligos LSX MPEG encoder 3.5
Panasonic MPEG-1 encoder 2.51
In all my tests I frameserved video only. None of the MPEG encoders comes with an exellent audio
encoder, so I recommend to do the audio conversion seperately. As you use a special tool for video,
use a special tool for audio as well.
Note, everything below is for video conversion only. If at any point audio comes into the
game, it will be a dummy audio file to make the frameserver working.
Also I wont explain any filters or encoder settings.
Scenarios:
1. Frameserve AVI with VirtualDub
2. Frameserve AVI with Avisynth
3. Frameserve with DVD2AVI
4. Frameserve MPEG-2 with DVD2AVI and VirtualDub
5. Frameserve MPEG-2 with DVD2AVI and Avisynth
1. Frameserve AVI with VirtualDub
Source is AVI, you want to edit and frameserve with VirtualDub. Start VD, select file > open video
file.

Edit whatever you want and select file > start frameserver.
If you frameserve to TMPGEnc.2.53plus, TMPGEnc.Beta12a or Panasonic, proxy is off, save as *.vdr

Start TMPGEnc. and load the *.vdr as video source.

Start Panasonic MPEG-1 encoder and load the *.vdr as video source.

If you want to frameserve to CCE SP 2.50, you have to select an audio source. Select any small wav
file, that you find on your HD.

Proxy is off, save as *.vdr. Start CCE SP 2.50, right click on the window and press "add" and load *.
vdr into CCE.

If you want to frameserve to CCE SP 2.64, proxy is off, save as *.vdr. CCE SP 2.64 does not accept
VirtualDub signpost files, so you have to convert it with VFAPIconv.
Start VFAPI, press "add job" and select *.vdr.

uncheck audio, press OK.

Press "convert", it takes only a couple of seconds. Press "exit".
Start CCE SP 2.64, right click on the window and press "add" and load *.vdr-vfapi.avi into CCE.

Before you can frameserve to LSX 3.5 you have to enable the proxy mode. Change to the VD
\aviproxy subdirectory and run proxyon.reg. Answer yes to the questions that will pop up.
Then start VirtualDub, open the video file, edit, start frameserver. Save as *.avi.

Start LSX, press "browse" and select *.avi.

Remember to run proxyoff.reg after you finished the conversion.
>>back
2. Frameserve AVI with Avisynth
Source is AVI, you want to edit and frameserve with Avisynth.

Open notepad, type
Code:

#LoadPlugin("")
#LoadPlugin("")
AVISource("d:\dir\dir\test.avi")
#[filter]
#[filter]
#[filter]
#[filter]
and save it as *.avs. Make sure that the filetype field in the save dialog box says All Files (*.*) and
NOT Textfile (*.txt). Now right click on *.avs in explorer, select open-with and select the Media
Player from the list. If it plays, everything is good and we can proceed.
Start TMPGEnc. or Panasonic and load the *.avs as video source.
Start CCE SP 2.50, right click on the window and press "add" and load *.avs into CCE. If you have
an Athlon CPU, you may need to add a dummy audio line, otherwise CCE might refuse the script.
Code:
#LoadPlugin("")
#LoadPlugin("")
AVISource("d:\dir\dir\test.avi")
#[filter]
#[filter]
#[filter]
#[filter]
ResampleAudio(44100)
CCE SP 2.64 does not accept Avisynth scipts, so you have to convert it with VFAPIconv.
Start VFAPI, press "add job" and select *.avs, uncheck audio, press OK. Press "convert", it takes
only a couple of seconds. Press "exit".
Start CCE SP 2.64, right click on the window and press "add" and load *.avs-vfapi.avi into CCE.
Before you can frameserve to LSX 3.5 you have to avs_patch the encoder. Copy AVS_PATCH.EXE
to the LSX MPEG encoder directory and open the command line console.
Change to the LSX MPEG encoder dir and type "avs_patch mpeg2enc.exe". Hit enter.

A 2nd mpeg2enc.exe file was written, that will read Avisynth scrips. The original .exe is not deleted.
Use the original for AVI and the new one for AVS.
Start LSX (mpeg2enc_avisynth.exe), press "browse" and select *.avs.

>>back
3. Frameserve with DVD2AVI
Source is MPEG-2 (e.g. DVD), you want to frameserve with DVD2AVI.

Start DVD2AVI, select file > open. Select the .mpg or the first .vob. All .vob files with the same
filename will get loaded.
Have a look at the DVD ripping guides for more details. Select file > save project. Save as *.d2v.

You can load the *.d2v into TMPGEnc as video source directly.
If you want to frameserve to CCE SP, Panasonic or LSX you have to convert the *.d2v with
VFAPIConv to *.d2v-vfapi.avi. Load that avi into CCE SP, Panasonic or LSX as video source.
>>back
4. Frameserve MPEG-2 with DVD2AVI and VirtualDub
Source is MPEG-2 (e.g. DVD), you want to edit and frameserve with DVD2AVI and VirtualDub.
Start DVD2AVI, open the .mpg resp. the .vob, save the project, save as *.d2v. Convert the *.d2v
with VFAPIConv to *.d2v-vfapi.avi. Open that avi in VirtualDub and continue with scenario 1.
>>back
Source is MPEG-2 (e.g. DVD), you want to edit and frameserve with DVD2AVI and Avisynth.
Start DVD2AVI, open the .mpg resp. the .vob, save the project, save as *.d2v.
Copy the MPEG2DEC plugin to c:\winnt\system32\ resp. c:\windows\system\
Open notepad, type

Code:

LoadPlugin("c:\winnt\system32\mpeg2dec.dll")
#LoadPlugin("")
mpeg2Source("d:\dir\dir\test.avi")
#[filter]
#[filter]
#[filter]
#[filter]
Start TMPGEnc. and load the *.avs as video source. If you get the "..can not open or unsupported"
message, select options > enviromental (global) settings > VFAPIplugin. Disable direct show
multimedia file reader.

Continue with scenario 2.
>>back
This guide may get extended. Feel free to mail me your very special frameserve problem.
Then I will try to update the guide.

Nice guide. A few questions from a n00b:

Joined: 14 Apr 2002
1. Which method is "best" for frameserving dvd to tmpgenc? Assume dvd2avi, vdub, and avisynth
(avsgen) are available. Why?
2. In scenario 1, you say "edit whatever you want and select file > start frameserver". How does pre-
frameserving editing work? If you edit in vdub, then frameserve with vdub to tmpgenc, then edit
with tmpgenc, do "both sets" of editing get applied to the source files? If your going to edit before
frameserving, why even bother to frameserve (why not just encode mpeg in vdub?
3. "Remember to run proxyoff.reg after you finish conversion." - Why?
4. In scenario 4, why convert the d2v file to avi with vfapiconv before loading in vdub rather than
just loading the d2v into vdub?

2. Vdub is an AVI editor not a MPEG encoder. That's why I posted the "read more" links.
3. Because the proxy support is very experimental. Some programs do not like the proxy handler
and will no longer work if it is installed.
4. You can not load a *.d2v into VirtualDub directly.

My situation is a little different. I am making DVDs from a DV camera. Today I use MSP6.5 to edit
Joined: 07 Mar 2002
my movies and then create a Type 2 avi for output. Then I use ULEAD DVD Workshop, input my AVI
files and DVD workshop encodes the movies. I believe that the interum step (making and AVI )
reduces the clearity of the encoded MPG movie. I would rather frame serve from the timeline of MSP
6 directly into TMPEGEnc and generate the MPEG file, eliminating the AVI step. Is this possible?

I realize there shouldn't be any reason to have to add it, But I DO!
Joined: 22 Mar 2002
If I make a script such as:
#movie.avs
loadplugin("C:\mpeg2dec.dll")
mpeg2source("C:\movie.d2v")
Now if I load this into Tmpegenc it looks like it was converted to less than 16 bit color! Both in
preview and after encoding, but if I add convertToRgb as the last line everything looks perfect. I
agree it doesn't make sense, I would have never thought to try this if another user with the same
problem hadn't suggested it to me.
I was hoping someone here may know why this works? Btw, the script without the convertto rgb
looks fine in Vdub and Bsplayer. It only seems to be Tmpgenc that has a problem with it? I tried all
different configurations an prioritys with no success. Converttorgb is the only thing that seems to
work?
Thanks,
Mike H.
Okay, seems to be the codec problem. I have some microsoft codec installed "msyuv(YUY2)". After
reading through the Avisynth docs a little better, I noticed they mentioned a problem with ATI
codecs not decoding properly and recommended using Huffy as the YUY2 codec.
So I manually replaced the msyuv with Huffy and everything appears correctly in Tmpgenc. I'm
curious now why Tmpgenc can decode a d2v file correctly without using a YUY2 codec, but
frameserving from avisynth you do? Does Tmpgenc work with some YUY2 files directly and others
have to convert to RGB then back to YUY again? Seems a little weird...

Is it not just best to create the project in DVD2AVI, and open that straight in TMPGenc in this case
(ie if resizing video only for dvd-r)? Why use anything else?
I use this method and it's very easy and gives great results (though takes a long time using the 2-

I've tried this step.
Source is MPEG-2 (e.g. DVD), you want to edit and frameserve with DVD2AVI and Avisynth.
Start DVD2AVI, open the .mpg resp. the .vob, save the project, save as *.d2v.
Copy the MPEG2DEC plugin to c:\winnt\system32\ resp. c:\windows\system\
Open notepad, type

Code:
LoadPlugin("c:\winnt\system32\mpeg2dec.dll")
#LoadPlugin("")
mpeg2Source("d:\dir\dir\test.avi")
#[filter]
#[filter]
#[filter]
#[filter]
My "test.avs "file.
LoadPlugin("C:\WINDOWS\System32\mpeg2dec.dll")
mpeg2Source("C:\test.avi")
The mpeg2dec.dll file is there.
Ive tried test. avi, d2v & m2v.

when I do a run through Media player I get...
The specified module could not be found.
I'm just trying to get CCE 2.5 to see my mpeg 2 file.
Any help would be great.
I'm tapped out.

Which version are you using?
mpeg2source reads *.d2v files only, no avi, no m2v.
If you use Avisynth 2, maybe you have registered the plugin directory, so I guess, that Avisynth
looks for the MPEG2DEC plugin there. Furthermore Avisynth 2.5x does not work with MPEG2DEC but
with MPEG2DEC3.

They work ok, but now, when I try to open a .vdr in tmpgenc, I get "can not open or unsupported"
Is there some small thing I have forgotten ? Is there some part of the setup process that _has_ to

The preview in virtualdub looks fine. Can it be some sort of problem with vfapi-plugins in tmpgenc ?
