=== <div id="avs_frameserv">What is frameserving and what is it good for?</div> ===

An excellent description is found on [http://neuron2.net/LVG/frameserving.html Lukes homepage]:

"Frameserving is a process by which you directly transfer video data from one program on your computer to another. No intermediate or temporary files are created. The program that opens the source file(s) and outputs the video data is called the frameserver. The program that receives the data could be any type of video application.

There are two main reasons that you would want to frameserve a video:

# '''Save Disk Space''': Depending on the frameserving application, you can usually edit/process your video as it is being frameserved. Because frameserving produces no intermediate files, you can use a frameserver to alter your videos without requiring any additional disk space. For example, if you wanted to join two video files, resize them, and feed them to another video application, frameserving would allow you to do this without creating a large intermediate file.
# '''Increased Compatibility''': To the video application that's receiving the frameserved video, the input looks like a relatively small, uncompressed video file. However, the source file that the frameserver is transferring could actually be, for example, a highly compressed MPEG-1 video. If your video application doesn't support MPEG-1 files, it's not a problem because the application is just receiving standard uncompressed video from the frameserver. This feature of frameserving enables you to open certain types of files in an application that wouldn't normally support them.

Furthermore, because the video application is being fed the source video one frame at a time, it doesn't know anything about the file size of the source video. Therefore, if your application has 2 GB or 4 GB limit on input file size, it won't have any effect on your frameserved video. You could feed 100 GB of video via a frameserver to an application limited to 2 GB and it wouldn't cause a problem."

=== <div id="avs_frameserv">How do I use AviSynth as a frameserver?</div> ===

Write a script using a text editor. Load your clip in AviSynth (see [[FAQ_loading_clips]]), do the necessary filtering and load the AVS-file in encoder/application X (must be an encoder or application which can read AVI-files (see also [[#avs_frameserv|here]]).

=== <div id="avs_frameserv">How do I frameserve my AVS-file to encoder/application X?</div> ===

There is simple way for many applications, and tricky ways for many others.

==== Direct frameserving to compatible applications ====

Simply open your AVS file in coder/application with menu, command line or drag-and-drop AVS file to it (working ways are dependent on the application). Some programs have "AviSynth *.avs" in "Open" menu, for others try select "All files *.*" or type AVS file name instead of "AVI".

Players: Media Player Classic, Windows Media Player 6.4, 9 and others.

Encoders: QuEnc, Mencoder, HC Encoder, CCE SP 2.50 and 2.66, Canopus Procoder 1.5 and above, MainConcept MPEG Encoder, TMPGEnc, TMPGEncXpress 3/4, Elecard Converter Studio, xvid_encraw, FFMpeg (new versions), Nero 6, Nero 7 (drag-and-drop only) and others.

Editors: VirtualDub, AviDemux (through its avs proxy option) :)

But some application only work fine with some specific video or audio formats, have a look at the next section.

==== Direct frameserving to applications using additional plugins ====

* For frameserving to Premiere there exists an import plugin "IM-Avisynth.prm".
The original version was located at [http://math.berkeley.edu/~benrg/avisynth-premiere.html Bens site], see [http://neuron2.net/www.math.berkeley.edu/benrg/avisynth-premiere.html mirror].
A much improved version can be downloaded from the [http://sourceforge.net/projects/videoeditorskit/ Video Editors Kit sourceforge page]. Version 1.95 works for Premiere 5.x, 6.x, Pro, CS3, and CS4.

==== Direct frameserving to special or modified versions of encoders ====

Some programs initially could not open AviSynth scripts, but updated or alternative programs can do it:

* Mencoder
* FFMpeg: Versions older then SVN-r6129 use the "AVSredirect.dll" for communication with Avisynth. From SVN-r6129 up, AVS redirect code is integrated in the FFmpeg executable (as option at compiling). Use builds at http://ffdshow.faireal.net/mirror/ffmpeg/
* Windows Media 9 Encoder: Download Nic's Windows Media 9 Encoder and make sure you also installed the Windows Media 9 codec. Both can be found [http://nic.dnsalias.com/WM9Enc.html here].

==== Frameserving to applications via fake AVI files and proxy utilities ====

Many "new" programs do NOT use the Windows functions to read the AVI-files. If they use own read functions the AviSynth-script files will not work. There are utilities that can create small fake AVI file with special type (FOURCC), and provide correspondent system codec to "decode" these dummy compressed files.

Select your AVS file in utility menu, set options and create fake AVI file with some name. Then you can open this fake AVI in your application/encoder, that will be receive frames from the codec that wiil be receive frames from AviSynth.

Several such utilities are different by supported modes (formats) of output video (with or without conversion) and audio (unpacked audio is most compatible but filesize is larger), by user interface (window, command line) and number of bugs.

* [http://www.doom9.org/Soft21/SupportUtils/VFAPIConv-1.05-EN.zip VFAPI reader codec] with DGVfapi (as a client) from [http://neuron2.net/dgmpgdec/dgmpgdec.html DGDMPGDec]. <br>
Features - output RGB24 only, unpacked audio, multiple files support, good compatibility, but a bit slow.

* MakeAVIS is included in ffvfw and [http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=173941 FFDShow]. <br>
Features - ouput to any color format. Uncompressed audio works properly in old ffvfw and recent (13 november 2007) ffdshow (8 and 16 bit only, use [[ConvertAudioTo16bit]] when necessary).

* [http://hmd.c58.ru/files.html Proxy-codec AVS2AVI]. (Note that the same-name utility by Moitah and others is an encoder and not an AVI-wrapper.) <br>
Features - video output same as input format, no audio.

Known programs that will not open AVS scrips without these utilities: <br>
CCE SP v2.62-2.64, Windows Media Encoder vx.x. (older than v9), Ulead VideoStudio 5-11, MediaStudio 6-8, Pinnacle Studio, Sony Vegas,
Nero 8, ImageMixer and others.

==== Frameserving via pipe from auxiliary programs to application-encoders ====

[http://akuvian.org/src/avisynth/avs2yuv/ Avs2YUV] is a command-line program, intended for use under Wine, to interface between Avisynth and Linux-based video tools.

Programs: Mpeg2enc, Mencoder, FFMpeg.

avs2yuv out.avs -o - | mpeg2enc - options...

This way is obsolete since these programs have native AviSynth support now.

=== <div id="avs_frameserv">How do I solve problems when opening/reading scripts in encoders and players?</div> ===

# TMPGEnc doesn't read my AVS files (this happens in old versions of TMPGEnc), what to do?
#* Install the VFAPI plugin for TMPGEnc.
#* Disable the direct show filters within TMPGEnc and turn off the VirtualDub proxy before frameserving.
#* Add "[[ConvertToRGB24]]" at the end of your AVS-file.
#* Install [[Huffyuv]]/[[DivX]] codec so that it can do the decompression for you when loading an AVI in TMPGEnc.
#* Install the [http://www.neuron2.net/www.math.berkeley.edu/benrg/avisynth/tmpgenc-readavs.zip ReadAVS plugin]. Just copy ReadAVS.dll to the VFAPI reader directory and open the reg-file ReadAVS.reg in notepad and change the corresponding path. Save it, and doubleclick on it to merge it with your registry-file.
# CCE SP crashes when reading an AVS-file, what to do?
#* If you're using Win2k then run CCE in WinNT4-SP5 compatibility mode.
#* If you don't have any audio in your AVS-file then add empty sound. You can put addaudio.avsi in your AviSynth plugin folder and add "[[Shared functions/AddAudio|AddAudio]](44100)" in your script.
#* Some versions (like CCE SP v2.62/v2.64) don't read AVS files. Get CCE SP v2.66 or a more recent version.
# My encoder or player doesn't open AviSynth scripts, what should I do?
#* In this case you may try other way, for example an AVI wrapper, like [[vfapi]] or [[makeAVIS]].
# When opening my clip in an encoder or player, the colors are messed up, what to do?
#* If you have such problems, some external (or internal) codec is messing up the used colorspace conversion. If you have such problems add "[[ConvertToRGB24]]" as the last line of your script (for Procoder and CCE use ConvertToYUY2(interlaced=true) or =false) and have a look at the thread (and the suggested solutions) [http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=27932 colorspace conversion errors].
# Windows Media Encoder 9 Series does not open AVS files, what to do?
#* Use an [http://www.citizeninsomniac.com/WMV/#WMCmd updated WMCmd.vbs script] ([http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=65638 discussion about the fix]).
#* In order to use AviSynth source with WME9, you need to set the encoder source to "Both device and file" in the Session Properties, see [http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=48477 discussion] and [http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=112634 WMV faq]. Or use [http://nic.dnsalias.com/wm9enc.html Nic's WMV encoder]
# WMP11 on Vista dos no play AVS, what to do?
#* You may [http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=121674 edit registry] to add .avs as known extension. Copy the registry key (and subkeys) for '''HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Multimedia\WMPlayer\Extensions\.avi''' to '''HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Multimedia\WMPlayer\Extensions\.avs'''
#* On Vista x64 you have to copy the correct 32-Bit nodes: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\'''Wow6432Node'''\Microsoft\Multimedia\WMPlayer\Extensions\.avi to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\'''Wow6432Node'''\Microsoft\Multimedia\WMPlayer\Extensions\.avs
#:Do not change anything at the registry if you are not experienced!

=== <div id="avs_frameserv">How do I frameserve from Premiere/Ulead/Vegas to AviSynth?</div> ===

Install the AviSynth compatible frameserver [http://www.debugmode.com/pluginpac/frameserver.php PluginPace frameserver (by Satish Kumar)] for frameserving from SonicFoundry Vegas (and earlier Vegas Video/VideoFactory versions), Adobe Premiere, Ulead MediaStudio Pro or Wax to AviSynth ([http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=51242 discussion]).
