E. Export to VCD using Frameserve

This part requires you to setup Avisynth, and VirtualDub correctly, otherwise; you will run into problem.

Using this technics will save you time and hardrive space. Instead of exporting AVI from Adobe Premiere, then load this AVI into VirtualDub to overlay subtitle, then output to AVI again. And then import this AVI into TMPGenc to convert to VCD format. By using Frameserve technics, all of the steps that I mentioned above will combine into one step.

Set up:

Copy AVISYNTH.DLL to \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32

Click INSTALL.REG to install the DLL
