avisynth 3.0 for linux question

[gslavik]

will avisynth require a searchable stream or would it be possible to have avisynth take input from stdin and output result to stdout?

for example:

some-prog | avisynth3 myavsfile.avs | some-encoding-program

[d'Oursse]

avisynth3 is a library. That means that it must be used by a program.

so, yes, you can write a program that take data from a pipe and send them to avs3. Same for output.

And of course there will be constraint in what you can put in the script. It will have to make linear access within the constraints of any input buffering. Doing something like Trim(1000, 2000) + Trim(0, 1000) would be out of the question unless you arrange for a 1000 frames of input buffering.
