To make it work:
1. You must have the right version depending on what player you use. A 64bit-player needs the 64bit-version of ffdshow, and 32bit-player needs 32bit version. This (sometimes) means the installation of both 32- and 64-bit versions to make all players work with ffdshow.
2. You need to set the priority to MAX in the ffdshow-setup. To do this, you must run ffdshow-configuration in administration-mode (right-click the setup in menu-bar and run 'as administrator'), then alter the priority-bar. Do this at all places / at both 32-bit and 64-bit versions to be sure.
Don't blame me if this is not official way 8-)

Open FFDShow Audio Decoder and FFDShow Video Decoder and click Codecs on the left. Choose which formats you'd like to be handled by which decoder and click Apply/OK.

I downloaded the ffdshow software recently and read through the instructions, still did not find any info how to apply it.
Do I need to select the video to play through the ffdshow software, or it is not necessary at all to open and run this software as the programme once installed, will be effective in the background ?

Encoders were removed from ffdshow because they were inferior to the 'official' versions of those codecs.
For encoding H.264 you should use the x264VFW codec.
For encoding MPEG-4 you should use the Xvid codec.

@Valentino: It doesn't matter which player is used. FFDShow doesn't start in Windows 7 64-bit.

Hi Valentino:* I have it working here. Im running Windows 7 64-bit so it may just be something complex ? Ive worked with FFDShow for years now and its no picnic to get the interface to appear, but I finally did.Hope you are having better luck with it now.

How to configure FFDShow, that will work on Windows 7 x64? When I run movie, there is no FFDShow icons (for audio and video) in Windows tray.
I also try 64-bit version of FFDShow and it doesn't work too. Thank you for helping me.

Excellent piece of software, has codecs and filters for audio, video and subtitles support (which could be a bit better, I use DirectVobSub), multithreaded etc etc.
Only problem, aside from subs, is Xvid encoding (using Xvid-library, haven't tried libavcodec), which produced jerky picture, so I use a separate install of XviD.
@Bobo: I think you need some CD/DVD-copyright removing app, search here or google eg. "decss on-the-fly", "watch copyrighted DVD" or some such, or, you could rip the CD/DVD to hard-drive and watch it there; there's that kind of rippers aplenty, classic being DVD Decrypter, though it's not updated anymore.

Use VirtualDub instead of the old outdated VirtualDubMod.

I can't think of any flaw except some limitation on styled sub... This codecs play just about everything, it's pretty easy to setup yet very configurable if you wish to do.

Works great. I downloaded it and everything works just fine now. I had some problems with my ac3 audio and mpeg (video) files, but after this, everything can be played that comes from my cam corder. Amazing!

I have the same question Where is the answer???
If you insist on playing back videos that are encoded in codecs that have jpeg-trash in them or are distorted from being encoded at a low ksec, then you will find this program a definite blessing.
Not only does it have an option to run directly with Media Player Classic and do block-deinterleaving and other pre- and post- production outputs that can blur and filter out video artefacts but the codec is also a video encoder allowing you to encode multiple formats including .AVI using WMV XviD DivX Mp4 and several other popular formats as its backboard.We are rapidly entering an age where a video codec is not so much based on the quality it can compress a video but the quality of its output through pre- and post- filters that clean it before it plays it back to be viewed by an audience.
Modern XviD already has a pop-up that appears in your taskbar to clean your video by adding interleave and noise to remove artefacts.FFDShow does just that and can work with a large variety of video playback software and ultimately any video format to clean the video before being seen, Media Player Classic just being one of the programs it can work directly work.
You owe it to yourself to examine this incredible combination codec and filter that cleans and removes artefacts from your videos as they play back notwithstanding what video codec they were originally encoded in.I am rating it Very Good, not Excellent, because the interface is HUGE and may appear cumbersome and complex to some, such as myself. bot you in james natasha go thed ese we faot
