Avisynth and "live" video

[signal]

I'm trying to remember how to feed live video from a capture card through a (simple) avisynth script and view the results.

I recall it possibly involved ffdshow but can't find my original notes on it.

Or is there another route to take?

Thanks.

An idea - use Media Player Classic.

1) make sure that ffdsow is set to handle RAW video (in it's codecs page, set raw video to "all supported"

2) open media player classic, and do file -> open device, select your capture card

3) in ffdshow's avisynth page, write a script, apply it and voila.

I do this for using YADIF on playstation 2 games ;)

Thanks for the tip! I'll give it a shot.

Update:

For whatever reason the AVISynth apply script in ffdshow doesn't seem to work for me.
I have to open the ffdshow AVISynth page first, write the script, open MPC to see the result.
Close and Open MPC to see any other changes made to the script.

ffdshow rev610 (December 2006 Stable)
AVISynth 2.5.7
WinXP x64

This isn't a big deal right now as it's only for testing a couple of things and not long term.
Just noting it in case someone else eventually finds this post.

Thanks again!
