FFDSHOW rev. 2792 (20090320)

This is an old version of this software. You can also download rev. 610 (20061201) (latest stable version) or rev. 3124 (20091103) (latest beta version).

FFDSHOW is a DirectShow decoding filter for decompressing several video formats, including DivX, XviD, WMV, MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 movies.

Filter also supports nowadays decoding of virtually all audio formats used in movies, including AC3, DTS, MP3 and Ogg Vorbis, and several subtitle formats.

The codec also features postprocessing capabilities, support for virtually all MPEG-4 video formats, support for various processor enhancements (such as SSE and MMX), etc. FFDSHOW is released as an open source software under GPL license agreement.

To summarize its main idea, the FFDSHOW consumes way less CPU power than original DivX or XviD codecs, even with maximum post-processing. At the same time the post-processing seems to give excellent quality results and allows more configuring than the original DivX codec. It can even automaticly reduce post-processing if your CPU is getting overloaded. The noise filter adds a kind of a rasterising effect to the picture - might be useful in some cases.

FFDSHOW requires Microsoft Visual C++ to work.

Please note! Certain Antivirus applications may claim that FFDSHOW contains a trojan. However our own tests indicate that this is a False Positive

We also recommend that you read through our guide on how to install and configure FFDSHOW.

This is THE only decoder you probably need to playback the video files you 'obtain' on your PC. It handles all the popular formats like Xvid, DivX, mpeg4 and MPG,MPEG and even MKV easily.
What are you reading these for...just download it now!

FFdshow is great for pros, and pro-ams

But so is CCCP. And CCCP takes the pain of learning out of FFshow nightlies for everyone else

Once upon a time I used FFdshow nightlies

I've been using these "nightly builds" for several years now and without this, my HTPC would be a far inferior beast for all it's processing and graphical power. Read ALL the information you can find on this software and suitable settings (for example, www.team-mediaportal.com forums), read it again, then install it, set it up, and enjoy vastly superior images, especially on large HD1080p screens. Or, keep using 'one setting suits all' products from your regular over-priced vendors.

It did take me a while to work everything out, but I can now take a fresh install and customise it appropriately in 2 mins, so it's not difficult, but I will admit that I couldn't have done this with any degree of certainty until I actually researched the software.

However, When you buy a car, do you expect the Owners Manual to tell you EVERYTHING about the vehicle, or do you rely on third party manuals, expert mechanics and home-trained motoring geeks? Same with this - let the developers do the good stuff designing the beastie, and let the geeks have fun breaking it, working out what works for them (the developers might not even know this!) and then publishing their findings online.

Seriously good results - my wife even commented on it...

I think I said it before, but the best builds so far come from msvc 2003. Was able to fix playback of a movie that seemed to have delay problems with when I got it.
