Hi,

I started using VirtualDub for removing commercials from my Satellite recordings (captured in DV-AVI format using Canopus ADVC 110).

It works great for just cut & pasting, however I am not sure if it is frame-accurate like other NLE programs (such as Adobe Premiere) for cutting from DV-AVI sources (and Huffyuv AVI). Please confirm.

Regards

It is frame accurate for uncompressed AVI, lossless AVI (Huffyuv et al), and DV AVI formats.

Tip: Stream copy, don't full process.

Thanks kp.

I am removing commercials, and then frameserving the video to MPEG-2 encoder. Still it needs to be streamcopied (and not full process)?

If you're frameserving, it doesn't matter. The recipient of the frame serve will obviously be re-encoding it.
Out of curiosity, which encoder are you serving out to?

Thanks.

Well, I am still trying to get this HcEnc to work for frameserving. That is what I am using (trying to use).

You can also try to frameserve into Avidemux and encode MPEG out from there. (I've never tried this, but it's something I would try, if the need arose. Just wanted to mention that option for you.) Some GUIs are easier than others. I often skip frameserving, because the process can go faster by encoding first to Huffyuv, then encoding next to two-pass MPEG-2 in MainConcept (or a free or lower-cost alternative). I have plenty of HDD space.

Is Avidemux better encoder than Hc? Does it produce better quality?

I don't know that the image quality will be any better or worse.
It's mostly just a GUI difference. The freeware MPEG-2 encoders all act pretty much the same now.

Increases in quality come by using professional MPEG encoders, such as MainConcept Reference, or even the Adobe Media Encoder.
