can avisynth look like a mp4 file

[thommyfilm]

hello

as far as i understood a avisynth script looks like a avi file to a third party programme. can it look like a mp4 h264 file? that would be very useful!

Look closely at the name "AVISynth" and see if you can figure out the answer yourself.

you could call it mp4synth if you like :-)

AVFS might be a workaround for you

if you want it to look like a mp4 file (with h264 and aac codecs) you have to encode it. if your application can read uncompressed avi-files (like quicktime) you should use avisynth virtual filesystem (AVFS) (www.turtlewar.org/avfs/)
