gource: stdout PPM mode not supported on Windows

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi, guys. It there any hope that stdout will be supported on Windows? I have 
really big videos (about 0.5TB) and want to avoid saving whole PPM file to the 
HDD using redirection into ffmpeg stdin (it supports it in Windows). Usage of 
temporary file is slow and much more space consuming... :(

I managed to get stdout working on windows today by building SDL with the 
--enable-stdio-redirect=no option, however when you pipe the output into 
ffmpeg, it just stalls, making it a bit pointless.

I personally like Fraps for direct video capture on Windows.

Or you could dual boot Ubuntu :)

Cheers

Andrew

Fraps costs money, but looks like the best descision anyway. Thanks for you 
efforts!

This issue is marked as closed but I just tried to run Gource on windows with:
gource --output-ppm-stream -

and I got back

"gource: stdout PPM mode not supported on Windows"

Any ideas?
