Need Linux Tool

[videophool]

The AviSynth 3.0 Linux port is DOA. We need to move off of Windows. What are the options? I have not heard of any great success using AviSynth with Wine. Anybody else looking to move to Linux?

Works perfectly well with wine, has done for years. Might not offer multithreading and all that but it works well, along with Virtualdub. Use them on Linux all the time. :-) I only use Windows on occasions I need to use AVSPmod because although that works great with wine, there is no preview only with external player. :-)

I can confirm that avisynth works very well with wine. I'm using it intensively to process cinelerra's output.
Multithreading is working perfectly for me (using SEt's 2.6 MT).
I'm using archlinux, if it matters (understand : very recent versions of all programs and libraries).

Shameless plug... but for what its worth, I had problems with avisynth under wine, due to vfw issue, tools being coded in .NET etc...

So I wrote a little program called avs2pipe that allows you to pipe the audio or video from avs scripts into whatever you choose, and uses as few windows libraries as possible to avoid problems with wine.

Something like this should work:

wine avs2pipe.exe --video some.avs | x264 ...

you just need to have the avisynth dll's (avisynth.dll, devil.dll, msvcp60.dll) in a place avs2pipe.exe can find them, and they can be extracted directly from the avisynth installer without even running it.
