Frameserving is a process by which you directly transfer video data from one program on your computer to another, with no intermediate or temporary files created.

Frameserving a video can save on disk space and also increase compatibility by enabling you to open a file in an application that wouldn’t normally support it. [Adapted from AviSynth]
