ffdshow is DirectShow decoding filter for decompressing DIVX and XVID movies using libavcodec or xvid with rich set of video postprocessing filters. ffdshow can also be used as a separate postprocessing filter for other decoders.



Since I'm using it, I'm getting more fps while watching DivX/xVid. This is really impressive! Can't watch a movie without it by now ;)

#41919 Posted on: 03/04/2003 01:02 AM ffdshow is great if you remember to uninstall all other divx/xvid codecs before installing it, I haven't come across one video it couldn't play. You just need to install some 3rd party audio codecs (ac3, ogg) and you'll never need to worry about finding codecs again.

#41939 Posted on: 03/04/2003 04:29 PM You do NOT need divx/xvid codecs with ffdshow. That's the whole idea of ffdshow, one decoder for all. "ffdshow is DirectShow decoding filter for decompressing DIVX and XVID movies " If you have installed xvid or divx codecs ffdshow will not act as a decoder but as a postprocessing filter. Zanysmash, a bit weird from you that you don't even know what ffdshow does, yet you find it the best. "Since I'm using it, I'm getting more fps while watching DivX/xVid" That's even more weird, movies are encoded using a fixed fps. You cannot get more or less fps. If you have drop frames, buy a better computer.
