encode AVS to WAV

[jonathonsunshine]

I need a command line tool that will take a AVS and output a wav file of the audio ?

Thank you

I used Winamp's DShow filter. 100 minutes in 6 seconds! :D

Can you put the command line to use your solution?

I didn't use a command line. Started Winamp with the DirectShow filter with the AVS extension enabled, and the output as "Nullsoft Disk Writer" to WAV (my eventual target is Audacity, I'm editing a team radio podcast from a 24 hour online race).
The AviSynth script was:
DirectShowSource("test.wma")

So long as everything's configured, Winamp can I think be loaded with a file from the command-line to automatically play, but I've no idea how. You're quite free to try.

On a separate note, Winamp's Windows Media input plugin must be throttled or something. It was taking about 30 minutes to transcode 100 minutes of audio to WAV with the input plugin, whereas I was getting anywhere between 6 and 30 seconds per 100 minutes with AviSynth's DirectShowSource. It might have been ffdshow's audio decoder I used, but I think it was MS' DirectShow WMA filter, so why it could be throttled is a mystery.
