You can wrap a script inside an AVI.

If you want to install ffdshow there's a utility in the ffdshow install folder called MakeAVS that'll take a script and stick it inside an AVI. I don't think the installer creates a start menu shortcut for it, but it should be there. I think it can also mux PCM audio along with the script if you want it to (it's been a long time since I've used it), and it'll be limited to 8 bit video if ffdshow needs to decode it, which from memory, I think it does.

There's a 64 bit version of ffdshow.

Avs2pipemod won't do what you need.

I think VirtualDub2 still supports file serving of a pretend AVI.

(Of course you can input AVS script into VD2)

EDIT: File Menu, "Start Frame Server".

Latest avfs.exe is included in the VapourSynth package - you need to unpack avfs.exe.

And I have a question: has anyone tested whether, for example, Resolve can read such a file? As an 8-bit file, a 16-bit file, or not at all?
