Frameserving with AVISynth and then encoding with TMPGenc 2.02 is really the only way to go for quality but for newbies it takes a while to figure out how. www.geocities.com/aussie01au can help a lot but generally, there are two steps: installing AVISynth, then installing (moving) the AVISynth premiere plug-in to the Premiere folder. If successful, in exporting to movie, AVISynth should be one of the choices. An important thing here is including a shortcut of TMPGenc in the start menu because when AVISynth has opened and is looking for the application to frameserve to (TMPGenc in this case) Premiere can't be minimized. After AVISynth has opened then TMPGenc can be opened and the appropriate Prem.avs file loaded with the presets for the type of MPEG you want. It is interesting to note that the only other s/w with quality to match cost thousands of $$ (Heuris and Cinemacraft) and here is free TMPGenc and AVISynth, and Premiere (US$300 with the ADSTech PyroPlatinum kit). The only catch for DVD is that your DVD player may or may not recognize the Layer-3 audio that TMPGenc encodes with when choosing the DVD templates. We then need a Dolby Digital encoder plug-in or stand-alone...

By the way Ligos LSX doesn't count: in the interest of fast encoding it's quality is still not nearly as good as TMPGenc :) It does have a legit Premiere plug-in but why bother when you can have TMPGenc and AVISynth anyday??

Hi Mehmet,

You don't know me but I read your replies and you always have good advice.

I have not heard much from you lately and trust all is well with you and yours.

regards,

Mark

Kim,

Here is a link to a site for the proper dvd (video only)encoding with TMPGEnc:
