Was not aware such a mechanism exists. Commit dates back to 10 April 2017, first release supporting it is, apparently, Avisynth+ r2487-MT: https://github.com/pinterf/AviSynthPlus/releases/tag/r2489-MT. A remark in https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/blob/master/libavformat/avisynth.c#L844 says: /* On Windows, FFmpeg supports AviSynth interface version 6 or higher. * This includes AviSynth 2.6 RC1 or higher, and AviSynth+ r1718 or higher, * and excludes 2.5 and the 2.6 alphas. */ Support for plain AviSynth will have to be dropped. On the other hand, configure checks for https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/blob/master/libavformat/avisynth.c#L844 > die "ERROR: AviSynth+ header version must be >= 3.7.1" so probably plain AviSynth and AviSynth+ below r2489-MT are already unsupported. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
