Missing the encoders in the latest version(s). Switched back to Dec2010 release.

I Like the way everything is working via fddshow, which interfaces very well with other software.

Would have chosen a 5 when the encoders were still there.

@K D DOGG & @gamerfreak & others who are concerned:
The developers of ffdshow have decided (at least until there are enough people asking for them) to drop the encoders out of the program. Reasons are (quoting from memory here, NOT verbatim) that the code is "buggy, outdated, obsolete and difficult & time-consuming to update", and that there are better, stand-alone products to replace them.

But it seems if enough people start to make noise about the missing encoders, there might still be hope for them to be re-integrated; go to the doom9's forum and read the discussion, and if You feel like it, post your opinions eg. somewhere here: http://forum.doom9 .org/showthread.php?p=1463368#post1463368

Otherwise 5 star product, but the missing encoders drop half of the use cases :(

Seems to decode OK but like previous reviewer I found the encoder limited to just a couple formats instead of the usual twenty-something formats. So was the previous version. I had to go back to a 2010 release to recover the encoding ability that worked so fine for me with Virtualdub.

It works very well, but how come this updated version gives me only 4 codecs? It only lists Huffyuv, FFV1, DV, MJPEG and uncompressed?

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.

ffdshow is awesome.

recently i changed my windows to win7 64bits, and installed FFDSHOW 64bits but there is a problem that I can't listen to any MKV movie sound.

I hope developers can fix this quickly.

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.

I'm not sure if this was what to get but I got xp home on my lappy and updated it and such but no decoder came with it. So I got this and its almost working ... I think. I have copyright problems apparently? I just want to be able to play DVDS!

Use VirtualDub instead of the old outdated VirtualDubMod.

im on xp sp2. this codec really got worst on virtualdubmod.espcially converting m2v+wav files out to h.264.

it freezes couple of frames then it played.
audio is not in sync.

i updated to this after installing k-lite codec pack.i had no problem with the previous rev610. this one even export a black video for h.263+.

what am i missing?
