Pipe between two console applications?
- by ronag
How can I pipe between two separate console application running in different console windows?
e.g. I would like to do something similar to:
ffmpeg -i 0.flv -vcodec mpeg4 -f asf -s cif - | vlc -
However, I would like to do this from two separate windows, which doesn't work, I guess this is because standard out is local to cmd windows.
cmd window 1:
ffmpeg -i 0.flv -vcodec mpeg4 -f asf -s cif -
cmd window 2:
vlc -
Is there any way to programmatically achieve this? What exactly does | do behind the scenes?
