Is it possible to make AVISynth source it's video from a CAPTURE DEVICE, rather than an existing AVI file? I would like to display and run filters on the images being brought in from a fairly low-resolution webcam and have the results visible in Windows Media Player by playing an AVS file.

I know this is at least partially possible by creating a DirectShow graph and saving the webcams output to a WMV file, but this solution uses up HD space and the overhead of encoding the video and writing it to disk is unnessicary, and also creates a slight lag in playback.

Thanks for your help, and if it's an RTFM could you link me to something close to the page in question?

Ooops - hello. It looks like I can load a DirectShow graph into AVISynth. Well, that was easy. Sorry for bothering you guys!
