idea: avisynth as a codec

[CAFxX]

i already posted this on sf but i got no reply so here i am:
why not try to make avisynth work as a "codec"? for example, it would be nice that when we have every single video application not supporting avisynth we can choose avisynth from the codec list, give the stream we're exporting a name and call it from the script. this would make as really universal...

I already works like that. You just tell the media player to open the .avs file and it does it, using a combination of magic and ancient techniques handed down by the Wushan.

If you install ffvfw light from newer AVS2.5 package (or install full ffvfw), you get a tool called MakeAVIS: this one produce a fake avi, such as the ones produced by VFApiConv. And is repliable inside any video player.

I guess http://www.avisynth.org/index.php?page=Section+2%3A+AviSynth+and+frameserving should be updated.

I guess http://www.avisynth.org/index.php?p...nd+frameserving should be updated.
Q2.1 is about frameserving in general. Q2.3/Q2.4 mentiones makeAVIS. But, if you have something specific in mind, please tell me.

Nevermind the link, it's just the result of a search on "makeavis". When I said "update", I was meaning that maybe such a important fact could be put a bit more forward.

Knowing such an information was present in the FAQ, would CAFxX have found it easily? Most probably, so the "update" is probably not that needed.
