debayering image sequence question

[BabaG]

i have a new camera that captures raw frames to an image sequence. what would be the process to get from a folder full of raw stills to a playable, debayered avi using avisynth? is this something i can use avisynth for?

thanks,
BabaG

thanks pandy. that's helpful. i have additional info on this.

the files i'm trying to work with are captured using an open source app called micro manager which is a sort of front end for another open source app, imagej. imagej does the saving. i'm told by my camera manufacturer that i can save frames from the camera in either .raw format or .fits format. these are the only two that imagej supports that will preserve all of my sensor data, something i want to do as long as possible.

if i save to .raw, these are the settings i have to apply in order to re-import the frame into imagej:

bit depth = 16 bit unsigned raw
frame size = 3296 x 2472
offset to first image = 0 bytes
number of images = 1
gap between images = 0 bytes


all below options are unchecked
-------------------------------------
white is zero
little-endian byte order
open all files in folder
use virtual stack

hopefully this tells us something useful about the raw files.

i presume that i would first use ImageSource() to import the frames as an image sequence and then apply the demosaic filter. what sort of settings and syntax do i use to get the above described frames into avisynth? if i can't get these frames directly into avisynth, what would be the best workaround?

thanks again,
BabaG

first bit depth = 16 bit unsigned raw probably means that some solution to open image with more than 8 bit depth per component must be used - so focus on this http://avisynth.org/mediawiki/High_bit-depth_Support_with_Avisynth and corresponding topics or sadly i must admit other external solution to debayer with more than 8 bit depth support per component must be used.
