The QTOutput plugin is not working for me (at least not for the codec I choose within QT).

Any idea which program I could feed any avs script into, and export to a Quicktime Movie from it?

thanks

what codec exactly? (a lot is supported in ffmpeg)

one of the avid codecs (compressed 3:1 in my case)

in theory any program would do the job, as it is quicktime itself who does the coding. the problem is that using the plugin, i get an error message.

sorry for the misunderstanding, that's really the codec's name: Avid Meridian Compressed 3:1

You can use avisynth virtual file system (AVFS) to frameserve into Quicktime Pro on windows , so you can access any quicktime codecs you have installed.

It creates a "dummy" AVI which can be opened in quicktime, but it has to be RGB32 data

(Add ConvertToRGB32() to your script , if it's interlaced, use the switch +/- specify matrix)

actually I did use AVFS to feed my script into Avid, re-exporting afterwards to Quicktime... So thanks for pointing out the obvious to me, I had forgotten that QT also opens AVI...
