Publisher's Description
FFDShow is a DirectShow decoding filter for decompressing DIVX movies, picture postprocessing, and show subtitles. It uses libavcodec from ffmpeg project or for video decompression (it can use xvid.dll installed with xvid codec too), 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.

Why do you need a codec pack when you got FFDShow? There is no reason for it unless you need to play some really obscure formats
Phat Esther reviewed v1.0.3721 Beta on Jan 28, 2011
Some codec not working at all eg AVC1 or just result black screen.
I recommend identify every new codec and download officially place instead of universal but not professional project. FFDSHOW is the poor men codec pack.
All codec pack unnesesary. Not recommend at all. Wasted time. All modern player has built in codecs, if not, dont use.
@roj @aking80 you have very big mistake, as drink tell the ffdshow is the part of k-lite mega codec pack and not individually project, just a little piece of that. Not more, not else, not independent just same project. Must informating before writing something please.

Codec packs are poser crap. Bloated, finicky, high maitainance. This solution rocks. I finally went to it recently after years of codec Russian Roulette and I've got to say that if you go with codec packs, you have to either be uninformed or crazy.
FIVE stars - SIX if they gave them out.

@dink: Because most the stuff codec packs use are unnecessary and installs a bunch of crap.
Anyways, ffdshow, CoreAVC, and directvobsub is all I need. Can play anything I throw at it.

Why wouldn't one just use K-Lite Mega Codec Pack??
It has ffdshow built-in.

Unless you use some of the more demanding postprocessing filters, there is no need for you to use the SSE version. The decoding part is already manually optimized and does not get any speed improvements with SSE compile.
Just a note for BetaNews, this is not the original ffdshow, this is a separate fork of the original (its name is ffdshow tryouts), started by some developers on the doom9 forums, anyway, I'm glad someone took over the development after Milan (the original author) disappeared.

Meh... I will wait for the SSE build.

No need to have thousands of buggy codecs installed, just this one and media player classic play all my videos flawlessly. Great tool.

Instead of installing those bloatware codec packs this software decode almost any video/audio codec without being invasive, and you can choose to disable or enable the use of any codec. Wonderful.

tweakers heaven, but de-interlacing is very poor compared to cyberlink codec.
