Framserving in CCE

"2.50 supports frameserving, 2.62 does not."

I have searched on this forum and cannot find any explenation regarding why 2.50 is the suggested version to use over the 2.62 which do not have frameserving. and what about the latest CCE 2.67 or something? would that be more recomended to use over 2.50?

What it means is that CCE 2.62 cannot read "virtual" video files like .avs (AVISynth) or .vdr (VirtualDub). All other versions of CCE-SP (including the new 2.67) do not have this limitation.

I see, thanks alot

I guess the framseserving is not important to me then since I only use it for dvd compression... or encoding for a fancier word :)

Well, you will almost definitely want to use frameserving through AVISynth to reencode a DVD. Unless I misunderstood and you actually have a real AVI file you want to encode to MPEG2.

humm... so AVIsynth is recomended to use with DVD encoding then, and what does it actually do? I am not using any avs or vdr files when doing a DVD9 original movie to fit into a simple dvdR :confused:

CCE 2.67 supports frameserving
i use PluginPac FrameServer 1.6 to frameserve Premiere 6.5 into CCE without any problems

Well, you can make a fake AVI file with DVD2AVI and VFAPI converter, and then you can reencode directly without AVS or VDR, but I always use Virtual Dub to touch up the video. Removing noise, adjusting contrast, watermarks, and a whole bunch of other many many stuff.

You can reencode easily without either of them, but it should make it easier on you if you just get one of the ones that accepts them.
