Does ffdshow and avisynth works good under linux?
Does VFW codecs (ffdshow vfw) works too?
Can a soft (like RealAnime win32) works under wine and use ffdshow and avisynth?

[edit]

Does using "CrossOver Linux" gives the same thing as wine?

ffvfw (i.e. the versions from back when it was called ffvfw, not the current vfw part of ffdshow) and xvid work for me under wine.

Yes, CrossOver is the same as wine, it just comes with a configuration tuned for certain applications.

so I can install and use ffvfw, ffdshow and xvid to feed avisynth?

A friend of mine, an expert on Linux, tell me that native w32 applications can to be compiled for a 'native' Linux ones through wine-dev libs (plus all native w32 dlls of course). I request him some links about how to do kind of compiling and I'm waiting for a reply of him. I thought that would be great if it can to compile avisynth for Linux through this way.

Wine-lib is intended as an aid to porting. If you don't plan to modify avisynth to be a real native library (not possible if you want to keep win32 plugins), then wine-lib doesn't have any benefits in terms of compatibility. It would just save you from typing 'wine' on the commandline when running the program.

why don't you just use ffmpeg? (the linux equivalent of ffdshow).

"FFmpeg is a complete solution to record, convert and stream audio and video. It includes libavcodec, the leading audio/video codec library. FFmpeg is developed under Linux, but it can compiled under most operating systems, including Windows."

In fact, I believe ffdshow is the windows port of ffmpeg (correct me if I'm wrong.)

Coz RealAnime 5 is a win32 app? :)
RealAnime 6 will be multi-os, but in the meantime I'd like to use RA5.

Well, there is still Avisynth to cover.

The second AVS or other native equivalent is available for Linux, I'll switch permanently.

This too is the only real thing holding me back from Linux. Wine is cool, but its a bit too much muckery for me.

Eagerly anticipating 3.0 :D

Eagerly anticipating 3.0 :D VMWare Server is now free, so if you have a licenced Win OS you can run it inside Linux with little performance hit. You will prob need a little more memory that you at present use.

I know how you feel.
Avisynth was one of my favourite windows programs back then :)

SO beautiful (as in easy) and powerful (as in flexible) scripting with multimedia data, it rocked!

VMWare server, it's pretty much just like VMWare workstation right? You get a windows desktop in an X window like an emulator?

I've never been impressed with software virtualization. Well okay, maybe Parallels desktop on the MacPro running XP Pro on top of OS X with hardware virtualization. That's transparent speed, albeit with only 1 processor available to Windows.

The RealAnime is not working with wine under Linux but the Easy RealMedia Producer is working, but unstable the encoding process. The installation process is the following for Ubuntu Dapper (similar for Debian and other distros):

1. Download the latest version of the wine from the dapper repo of wine (see http://winehq.org/site/download-deb).
2. Download the quartz.dll (windows dll) from somewhere and copy it to the fake windows/system32. Run the winecfg and add the quartz.dll to the list under Libraries (parameters: native, built-in).
3. Download the XP Codec Pack and install it (common codec pack). I used version 2.0.5. (You can try another one or your favourite.)
4. Download a new FFDshow pack. I used version 20060821-rev2546.
5. Download the Real Alternative and install it (codec pack of RealMedia codecs). I used version 1.50.
6. Download the Easy Realmedia Producer and install it. I used version 1.94.

Now I'm playing to install different versions of the ffdshow pack because of the instability of the encoding...
