Flask No, TMPGEnc yes.

Normally, you use flask to read VOB/IFO files,
to downconvert the audio of a dvd source
from 48 khz to 44khz (since tmpg is notoriously
bad at that) and (optionally) to re-size the frame to
480x480 or 352x480 (or whatever else you want)
since it's marginally faster than tmpg at doing this.

There's no need to open avi files in flask
since tmpg will read them directly and the
audio sampling rate is usually not 48khz.
If the audio sampling rate is out of spec
for an svcd, you can either a) live with the
little stutters and pops that tmpg sometimes
creates or b) use an external sudio encoder
(I'm pretty sure there's a howto for that
on this site)
