FFDSHOW is a DirectShow decoding filter for decompressing DivX, XviD, WMV, MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 movies. It uses libavcodec from ffmpeg project for video decompression, postprocessing code from mplayer to enhance visual quality of low bitrate movies, and is based on original DirectShow filter from XviD, which is GPL'ed educational implementation of MPEG4 encoder.

Use this with MPC (or BSPlayer, WMP, or whicher media player you like) and you're golden for pretty much anything...including DVD playback that's just as good as progs like WinDVD or PowerDVD. Earlier revisions were a little shaky in the DVD dept. (or I never got the configs right) but this one is flawless. Five stars.
