AviSynth runs in Windows, Parallels just lets you run Windows while you run your Mac. Very useful all around, though I would only recommend XP - 7.

lordsmurf had some good recommendations, so I have little to add to the workflow except that the Mac will be a big set of limitations. Myself, I'm far from a devotee of AvspMod. Many use it. If you...
