Avisynth Scripts, .AVI + CCE

Rafterman · 15th May 2006, 15:04

I have just purchased my first Camcorder a Sony DCR-HC44. While following one of the guides on the Doom9 website I had a few problems. I was using an avisynth script as outlined in the guide. My knowledge of avs scripts is limited to the inbuilt scripts DVD Rebuilder Pro uses in conjunction with CCE. This is my question, I can write(copy) the avs script and load it into CCE to encode the .avi file to .mpg. However I can also load the .avi file directly into CCE and convert it that way. What is the difference and why is the avs script method regarded as producing better quality. I have read its got to do with frameserving but am not quite up to speed on this.

If your script where simply

Code:

AviSource("File.avi")

there would be minimal difference. However when you are using an AviSynth script you are probably doing some other processing, i.e. Triming, Croping, resizing, converting colour space, denoising, colour correction, etc. These are high quality functions in AviSynth that may not be available otherwise or be of lower quality.
