LAV Filters (formerly LAVFSplitter) is a collection of DirectShow media splitters and audio/video decoders that allow you to play a wide range of media formats.
They are based on libavformat and libavcodec libraries from the ffmpeg project, which means that you can play almost any format as long as you use a DirectShow player.
The LAV filters package contains an audio decoder, a video decoder and a multi-format media splitter which work together for hassle-free playback every time.
Wide format support: LAV Filters can decode formats like H.264, HEVC, VP9, AAC, AC3, DTS (-HD), TrueHD, and many more.
Hardware Acceleration: Supports hardware decoding (DXVA2, NVIDIA CUVID, Intel QuickSync), reducing CPU load during playback.
Bitstreaming: Allows passing audio streams directly to your AV receiver for Dolby Digital, DTS-HD, and other advanced audio formats.
LAV Filters Megamix version includes applications that make your multimedia experience more enjoyable than ever. The pack is bundled with:
- LAV Splitter, Audio and Video;
- XySubFilter, DirectVobSub;
- Media Player .NET, MPC-HC (lite), PotPlayer;
- and madVR.
It can also download: H.264 MVC 3D Decoder, DirectX 10 and .NET Framework.
A precaution you need to take when installing LAV Filters on your computer is to uninstall the Haali Media Splitter or rename its AX file, as it forces all players to use it and it denies priority to LAV Filters.
All things considered, LAV Filters is a great addition to your system, as it ensures excellent media playback and it uses a low amount of your system resources. Once you install it on your computer, you can play virtually any media content.
- Also note that "tested" doesn't mean it won't fail eventually. There are many combinations of codecs, and its impossible to test all of them for developer.

LAV Filters 0.74.1-75
The LAV filters are the de facto standard for Windows users when dealing with audio and video codecs; the developer is talented and its filters (FFMPEG based) are focused on high quality direct playback from hard disk, less on video streaming content.
The D3D11 interface, together with madVR, are a solid video rendering path for the new 10 bit videos.

LAV Filters 0.72
Best until recent 0.72, said to further fix MKV playback end up causing lag issue for MPC-HC.
Rewinding now pause a second before continue play. Doesn't occur in 0.71.
