Suggestion: VideoCaptureSource & AudioCaptureSource

[stevenxu]

Is it difficult to write a VideoCaptureSource plugin for AviSynth? I think it is a very simple way, cooperating with AVS2AVI, to automatically record video to disk without any manual operation.

I don't think this is possible since avisynth by architecture is non-linear and non-realtime.

The main problem is, that pictures aren't pushed from the source, but requested by the destination. It would mostly have to be encapsulated into a complete application. But unless there is massive buffering, there is a big possibility of desync.
Not heavily recommendable, and certainly not something that will be a part of the core.

Some simple filtering should be possible, and the script would have to be linear (one frame in, same frame out).
