VFAPI-Plugin

This plugin enables TMPGEnc (or other VFAPI-compliant applications)
to directly connect to the blender frameserver. (Well, this was the
intention of the frameserver... ;-)

Use mingw

i586-mingw32msvc-gcc -shared vfapi-plugin.c -o blenderserver.vfp -lwsock32
i586-mingw32msvc-strip blenderserver.vfp

and copy the resulting plugin into your TMPGenc directory.

Usage:

Create a small file that only contains

host:port

where "host" is running blender frameserver on "port"

and call it something.blu

You can open the blu-file in TMPGenc. That's all. The rest is automagic.
By the way: the whole thing is developed completely under linux and
tested successfully with a vanilla wine-0.9.6...
