<h2>Why transcode?</h2>
<p>You may think why bother with transcoding when muxing is
available. That is absolutely right in most cases. But there are some
video files which can't be muxed because of special conditions. For
example, you may get a trailer with h.264 video codec and AVC level
5.1. but your playback device (PS3, Xbox, TV) might not support that.
In that case you will need transcoding.</p>
<p>You can see that there are some reasons why people want to
optimize transcoding. On the Windows platform there is an additional
method available for transcoding.</p>
<h2>Avisynth</h2>
<p>
<a title="Avisynth" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avisynth">Avisynth</a>
is a frame server for free, available on Windows platform (development
of the Linux version will not be continued). Regarding PMS readme one
should install <a title="Avisynth 2.5.7"
href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/avisynth2/files/AviSynth%202.5/AviSynth%202.5.7/Avisynth_257.exe/download">Avisynth
2.5.7</a>. Latest Avisynth 2.5.8 seems to cause stuttering on certain
files.
