FAAC with avisynth

[nessusing]

So far i have been trying to use faac commandline to convert an audio file from a avs file.

I am able to do this inside MeGUI no problem, this is the actual command it generates:
faac.exe -b 64 "c:\dummy.aac" -P -X -R 44100 -B 16 -C 2 --mpeg-vers 4 -Freeware Advanced Audio Coder

First, I figure "-Freeware Advanced Audio Coder" isn't doing anything, so i replace it with my acutal avs file:
faac.exe -b 64 "c:\dummy.aac" -P -X -R 44100 -B 16 -C 2 --mpeg-vers 4 "c:\dummy.avs"

That only generate a 0byte dummy.aac file. Then i realized its probably because faac is not reading avs correctly. By reading more on the faac help, i noticed if i only use "-" as my input file, faac will encode directly from stdin. I think this is probably how MeGUI is feeding data from avs to faac using stdin. But my question is how to do this?

Thanks,

Your syntax:
-P -X -R 44100 -B 16 -C 2
means: raw PCM input audio 16bit (swapBytes) 2ch 44100Hz
and you put a text file avs like input.

You can use:
wavi (http://sourceforge.net/projects/wavi-avi2wav/) "c:\dummy.avs" - | faac -b 64 -o "c:\dummy.aac" -

Thanks tebasuna51!! It works perfectly!

Hi, I'm having problem to export AAC from AviSynth. I'm trying to use SoundOut, but it doesn't work. The encoding starts, but hangs without any error after about 1/4 of the process. I tried versions 1.26 and 1.28, both behave equally. The same scripts work with lame or aften. Does anybody else have the same experience?

I'm looking for a solution which is opensource and doesn't need AviSynth installed (can use avisynth.dll directly). Something similar to what avs2yuv can do with video. Is wavi the right solution for me?
