You are wrong, windows supports real pipes and fifos. This feature, as
well as other ones (like mount points and limited symlink support) are
just hidden in fancy guis... Of course, you filesystem must be NTFS.

I'm not sure if there is standart windows tool to create fifo, but
mkfifo or mknod from cygwin probably will be able to create one.

Do you really have no other choices? Using mencoder just to access to
dvd and using 3gp encoder from ffmpeg both look like strange ideas to
me...

Btw, this is the wrong list...
