I've been playing around with avisynth because for certain types of video processing nothing beats a good script.
I then tried to get Vegas to read the .avs files - of course no luck. Then I tried to use makeavis programme (part of the ffdshow package) which creates a psuedo avi file ( basically provides an avi wrapper for the frameserver) and no luck - Vegas reports it can't determine the video and stream attributes of the file. A number of other programmes can read the file without any difficulties (Windows Media Player, Combustion). I've noticed the ffdshow package comes with a complex configuration module with little documentation - so is it possible to tweak ffdshow to make the avi files readable with vegas.
I'm aware of the VFAPI soloution - intermediate file is measured in 100s of mb not 1 or 2. And I can use the VirtualDub frameserver technique - but this creates quite a longwinded process for using the avisynth functionality.
Thanks
Gary
