Frame serving??? Qua? (Also, yay to vidding! What fandom might it be? If it's not a sekrit.)

Frameserving allows me to plunk entire episodes in say MKV format or even plain XviD AVI into Vegas without it going splody on me.

And if you know me and sekrits, I can keep others, but it's hard for me not to blab about what I'm working on. Doesn't the icon give it all away?

How to do this frameserving thing???

Doesn't the icon give it all away?
THAS WHAT I WAS HOPING YOU'D SAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! *does the dance of pure unadulterated joyness*

Yeah, well, it's nothing as fancy as your vid. Fairly straightforward, but I like it so far. :D

As for frameserving... Do you know that I've been trying to figure that out since Jag told me about it last year? I only just got how to do it one way last week. Let's see if I can splainy.

This is how I do it:
1. Install AVISynth 2.5 and ffdshow. You need something like Haali Media Splitter for MKV files.

2. Open up Notepad, type the following script, and save as yourfilename.avs

DirectShowSource("C:\path to your video file\yourvideofile.avi")

3. Find ffdshow's makeAVIS in the Start Menu after you install it. Open yourfilename.avs as the AviSynth script, make your output as yourNEWfilename.avi, and click Create. Since I'm not bothering with audio here, you can unclick the audio box. I'm not quite sure what the rest of it means yet.

4. Open yourNEWfilename.avi (a really relatively TINY filesize that makes Vegas happy) in Vegas, and you're good to go.

Whew. Does that make sense? Basically, frameserving is a way to make a dummy file that Vegas or any other editor will like, but that dummy file actually "reads" from the original. It's a very cool thing really.

Your confidence in me is, um, flattering. ^_^;

And about frameserving? Dude, MUST spread the love. Saves all sorts of time and disk space. I <3 frameserving lots, I do, I do.

You don't even know how insane I am about this show, so yeah, all my faith is in YOU to deliver me a good vid. :P

Saves all sorts of time and disk space.
ALL THINGS I DESPERATELY NEED!!! Yes! *bows to you*

Oohh, I might steal that 'tutorial'? Or at least note it somewhere so I won't forget this?
Sounds pretty good to me :D

And as for a new vid: yay :D I'm looking forward to it!

Oh, go right ahead! Spread the word even! :D

Yes! New vid. Hopefully, it doesn't disappoint. ^_^;

It won't. It most definitely won't. Up to this date I adored all your vids I've seen.

frameserving ROCKS!!! It is VERY practical indeed :D Like when you are too lazy to rip a DVD to your harddrive, you just frameserve the whole move straight from the DVD.... yes, I have done that :D

And yay for vidding! I's got about a minute done of mine now.... and I may have to ask you for DVD audio again LOL I still haven't gotten around to buy a certain set of DVDs *whistles innocently*

Frameserving an entire DVD? I gotta try that!!

And more vid, yay!!
