CCE as plugin or FlasK frameserving CCE ???

[Mars-L]

Helllo,

What's better;
CCE as a plugin into FlasK/XMpeg or FlasK frameserving CCE ???

What are the pros and cons ?

I think the standalone encoder is more flexible, so I suggest to frameserve with Avisynth (faster) or VirtualDub.

Once again I did not read properly. Of course you can only use Avisynth to frameserve from FlasK to CCE, sorry.

Is there any guide that teatches how to do that ? Framserv FlaskMpeg and CCE or Divx 1.5 and CCE ?

Flask/Xmpeg >> frame server >> cce. You need to create the fake avi file. If you use avisynth beta it makes .avs which cce or lsx does not load.

Flask v6. main advantage (for me) is the res can be resized to smaller/larger res and control buttons. When I edit commercials out and mark the begin and end of a clip, there's a button for goto begin or goto end of the clip. Then I can figure the start and end times of the clip for the compile time.

Xmpeg can only resize to lower res and lumination control. The new xmpeg has bbmpeg beta 18 plug-in. You can also copy the beta 18 plug in flask v.6.

I use all four programs depending on the source file. Most important is the source file is in-sync and not too many frame drops.

Try using the MPEG2DEC .dll with AVISynth frameserving CCE. You may not have ALL ht e filters as in VDub, but it's fast AND easy.

MPEG2DEC does not work with Flask. The only way to connect Avisynth with Flask is the Premiere plugin. (IPCSource)
The MPEC2DEC plugin requires a mpeg2source.
Anyway, MPEG2DEC rocks. But you have to use dvd2avi as decoder instead of FlasK.

Correct, I didn't mean to imply using MPEG2DEC with Flask. When encoding I use AVISynth by itself frameserving to CCE. If you create the "fake" .avi then open it with CCE, save the settings, change the .ecl to point to the .avs script there's no need to have another program running to have to use AVISynth as the "middle man".

To be quite honost I never felt a need to frameserve through an "outside" source. I can't imagine it'd be any faster, so why have something else running when it's not needed to run an AVISynth script.
