Originally developed by Milan Cutka, FFDShow is now being updated by a team called “ffdshow-tryouts”. It is an elevated version of the open-source XviD project.
It uses the “libavcodec” form the “ffmpeg” project to do so as well as post-processing operations for visual enhancement of low bitrate video streams. This particular video decoder provides a DirectShow (DirectX component API) decoding filter for DivX, XviD, MPEG-1/2/4, H.264, WMV or FLV1 decompression. Its supplied capabilities are among the best when it comes to decompressing and post processing video streams. FFDShow MPEG-4 Video Decoder earns its high ranks by the simple fact of its presence in most of the top-featured codec packs available on the market.
