[edit] Description

Given an AviSynth script as input, avs2pipemod can send video, audio, or information of various types to stdout for consumption by command-line encoders or other tools. It is a continued development of avs2pipe. Thanks to Chris Beswick for releasing avs2pipe under GPL 3.0.

[edit] Differences compared to the original:

Display total elapsed time.
contents of 'info'
New option 'benchmark'.
New option 'trim'.
New option 'x264raw'
New option 'dumptxt'
'y4mp', 'y4mt', 'y4mb' and 'rawvideo' options instead of 'video'.
FieldBased input will be corrected to framebased on yuv4mpeg2 output modes.
Colorspace conversion that takes colormatrix and interlace into consideration.
'wav', 'extwav' and 'rawaudio' option instead of 'audio'.
Convert bit depth function in audio output mode.
Only the compilation with mingw/msys is supported.

[edit] Requirements

AviSynth 2.6.0 or greater
Supported color formats: Y8, YV12, YV16, YV24, YV411

[edit] Usage

avs2pipemod  ver 1.3.0
built on Dec 19 2025 08:15:34

Usage: avs2pipemod [option] input.avs
  e.g. avs2pipemod -wav=24bit input.avs > output.wav
       avs2pipemod -y4mt=10:11 input.avs | x264 - --demuxer y4m -o tff.mkv
       avs2pipemod -rawvideo -trim=1000,0 input.avs > output.yuv

   -wav[=8bit|16bit|24bit|32bit|float  default unset]
        output wav format audio(WAVEFORMATEX) to stdout.
        if optional arg is set, audio sample type of input will be converted
        to specified value.

   -extwav[=8bit|16bit|24bit|32bit|float  default unset]
        output wav extensible format audio(WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE) containing
        channel-mask to stdout.
        if optional arg is set, audio sample type of input will be converted
        to specified value.

   -rawaudio[=8bit|16bit|24bit|32bit|float  default unset]
        output raw pcm audio(without any header) to stdout.
        if optional arg is set, audio sample type of input will be converted
        to specified value.

   -y4mp[=sar  default 0:0]
        output yuv4mpeg2 format video to stdout as progressive.
   -y4mt[=sar  default 0:0]
        output yuv4mpeg2 format video to stdout as tff interlaced.
   -y4mb[=sar  default 0:0]
        output yuv4mpeg2 format video to stdout as bff interlaced.

   -rawvideo[=vflip default unset]
        output rawvideo(without any header) to stdout.

   -info  - output information about aviscript clip.

   -filters - output external plugin filters/functions list to stdout.

   -benchmark - do benchmark avs script, and output results to stdout.

   -dumptxt - dump pixel values as tab separated text to stdout.

   -dumpprops - dump frame properties as JSON string to stdout.

   -trim[=first_frame,last_frame  default 0,0]
        add Trim(first_frame,last_frame) to input script.
        in info, this option is ignored.

   -dll[=path to avisynth.dll  default "avisynth"]
        specify which avisynth.dll is used.

note1 : in yuv4mpeg2 output mode, RGB input that has 720pix height or more
        will be converted to YUV with Rec.709 coefficients instead of Rec.601.

note2 : in fact, it is a spec violation to use WAVEFORMATEX(-wav option)
        except 8bit/16bit PCM.
        however, there are some applications that accept such invalid files
        instead of supporting WAVEFORMATEXTENSIBLE.

note3 : speaker positions in files output by '-extwav' are set using
        the clip property from avs+.
        if it is not set, general speaker positions are used instead.
