Morning Kevin,  
Nice to hear from you again!  
Unfortunately not. And I had some other issues with the pipes (e.g. creating mp4 files seemed not to be possible). So at the end I decided to go for a file-based approach, since that is the standard way to use it. And for systems that mostly don't have a hard drive ( like a Raspberry PI 3), I have been experimenting with _ **in-memory filesystems** _. Those allow you to achieve better results as the pipe-approach (i.e. all ffmpeg commands are possible). You only need enough ram...  
I have summarized it into another [discussion](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/best-way-to-integrate-ffmpeg-in-node-red/23861).  
Kind regards,  
Bart
