I just tried:
./output_example source.avi
mkfifo pipe.h264
./ffmpeg -y -i source.avi pipe.h264
in a second window: ./ffmpeg -i pipe.h264
and in the second window I get
FFmpeg version CVS, Copyright (c) 2000-2004 Fabrice Bellard
  configuration:  --enable-gpl --enable-x264 --extra-cflags=-I /tmp/x264 --extra-ldflags=-L /tmp/x264 
  libavcodec version: 51.1.0
  libavformat version: 50.0.0
  built on Jan 20 2006 18:09:35, gcc: 4.0.3 20060115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0.2-7)
Input #0, h264, from 'pipe.h264':
  Duration: N/A, bitrate: N/A
  Stream #0.0, 25.00 fps(r): Video: h264, yuv420p, 352x288

So, raw H.264 seems to work ok... The problem is only if I use H.264 in
MPEG2 TS from a pipe (BTW: I am realizing just now that my description
might be confusing, because by pipe I mean a "named pipe". As far as I
can see, ffmpeg treats named pipes as regular files... The only
difference that I can see is that seek() always fails, and read() can
return less bytes than requested).

			Thanks,
				Luca
