Although it doesn't seem like a big deal which version of DVD2Avi is used to frameserve, it IS IMPERATIVE THAT one uses version 1.76
AND NOT version 1.82 OnGOingrelease.
If you have ever tried it, any frameserve project made with 1.82 will NOT work with AviSynth. This is probably due to the structure of of the .d2v file; they probably differ with versions. I am stressing this because I never was able to attain the VOB edit in premiere method because... bingo...I always used 1.82. You figure new version, no big deal. Very frustrating not being able to use it for 8 months because of this reason.
Let me tell you, I had to pick up my eyeballs after seeing that .avs load up perfectly, mit VOB stream!

and it resizes fine. Please AD, try to get the message out that everyone MUST use 1.76 for project exports. Thank you all for the great utilities.
