Using filters & frameserving from Vdub to TmpGenc?

[Hong Kong Phooey]

Hi everyone,
I've successfully managed to capture a 24 minute anime show from my VCR to harddisk using my PCTV pro in 640x480 using the Huffy AVI codec.
Now I have a collection of AVI 2GB files that make up my capture, they load in as the one AVI file. I know how to use the editing functions in the main editing screen in VDub, to edit select footage.

I have also used the Vdub filters, Deinterlace, Sharpen, Flaxen VHS, & Flaxen cartoon using the add filter dialogue in Vdub to "clean up" the footage.

My question concerns importing this into TMPGEnc. I've already frameserved basic unaltered footage from Vdub to TMPGenc before but haven't done so after adding edits/filters from Vdub & using the "clean" footage in TMPGEnc.

Do I have to resave this newly edited/filtered VDub footage,(& Using the exact same 640x480 size & Huffy Codec as before), as a new separate AVI file first before importing it to TMPGENC? It's just that it's takes an age to re-save the file,(& space), before I've even started conversion in TMPGenc.

Can you just add the filters/edit your footage & have that frameserved over without having to resave?
Thoughts are appreciated by this newbie,thanks.

It LOOKS like the filters you used will work ok when frameserving to TMPGEnc. There are a few that don't work properly -- like boosting volume, etc.

Try it, and if it doesn't work, do it the other way. You don't need to encode the whole thing to test it. Let it run 10 minutes and then stop the encode and watch the resulting .mpg file.
