Frame serving

[carlmart]

How do you specifically proceed to do frame-serving going from avisynth to VirtualDub and from VirtualDub back to avisynth?

There's a video file that I need to process using both facilities, but as I don't know to operate properly in VirtualDub I prefer to go back to avisynth.

OTOS I might use this chance to learn how to do things in VD too, as I don't know properly how to output things from it.

Whenever you open an AVS script in a program AviSynth is frameserving to that program. Open the AVS script in VirtualDub and VirtualDub is receiving frames from AviSynth.

To frameserve in VirtualDub set up all the filters you want then select File -> Start Frame Server. That will create a .VDR file you can open in the program you want to frameserve to. Use AviSource() in AviSynth to open the VDR file. Note that you must run AUXSETUP.EXE (once) in the VirtualDub folder to enable the frame server.

It's also possible to use VirtualDub filters directly in AviSynth. There's a plugin for this. http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/FAQ_using_virtualdub_plugins
