Hello,
I know I can encode flv using ffdshow however the file which it creates uses the AVI container..
is it possible to use ffdshow to create an actual .flv file instead which can be used in Flash itself?
I have used the free riva encoder which uses ffmpeg but I would like to use a tool which can read an avisynth file source...

This isn't possible.

ffdshow is not able to write it to flv container.

You could use ffmpeg to remux your avi into flv.

thanks.. or I think I could use makeavis but it seems it isn't included anymore with ffdshow.. is there a replacement for it?
I have an old installation of makeavis from ffvfw but Riva FlV encoder won't encode the fake avi files...

Thanks for any ideas... worst case I'll keep using riva and accessing the files directly or produce some intermediate file...

Makeavis is still included. But it is not installed at default settings.
