Description
DirectShow FilterPack is a lite-weight package of DirectShow media filters which, together with FFDShow, will enable
you to play many different kinds of encoded/encrypted audio and video with your favorite DirectShow media player.

There are two DSFP versions available; a normal-version and a lite-version.
The main difference between them is that the lite-version doesn't contain lossless Source filters.

whats best, this or ffdshow?

So, whether my package is better then FFDShow is not the question. Fact is, to be able to playback OGG and AAC files for instance you need an OGG splitter and an AAC splitter (both included), FFDShow does the rest (decoding).

Happy 21st Birthday, Corone.

Happy birthday m8, had fun at ur place

lmao, thx!

which version of FFDShow would you reccomend?
the official version 2002-06-17
the official alpha version

or the un-official version FFDShow 2005-10-18

?

any input would be appreciated.

With 1.8 (04okt 2005) I've been using the stable version ffdshow-20050930MSVC71.exe and I'm using it still.
Every week they seem to release a new version of FFDShow, but as long as your current version is still working fine why should you upgrade?
If I whould recommend a version it whould be the MSVC-version (Microsoft Visual Studio 2003). This one is a little slower then the normal ICL-version (Intel Compiler 9), but is more reliable due to better stability. I whould say...stability first. (and btw, you won't even notice that little performance decrease)
As you can see here on of the latest versions; ffdshow-20051015.torrent (18.8MB) also comes with a MSVC-version, so you can try that one (I haven't yet though).
Good Luck!

Hmm... I might just be a n00b to this whole "Filter" thing as opposed to codec packs...

I've added this to my UA CD, with the filterpack placed in \$OEM$\$Progs\Media\FilterPack. I edited the install_all.bat file to use CMDOW and I removed the pause at the end as well (make it UA) - all the actual work is untouched. Is there anything else that I need to do in order to view DivX movies? I've tried using The Killer Bean 2, but WMP gives me the error that it can't download the codec. I thought that with filters, it shouldn't need codecs... no?

My DirectShow Filterpack doesn't work alone:And yes, you're right, just for playback you don't need codecs. Because codecs (encoding/decoding) you only need for content creation. The only codec I manually installed is the XviD codec, because from time to time I do some encoding stuff. But if you're not into encoding and only wish to playback your music/movies, filters (decoding) are all you need.
Doubleclicking the BAT-files is all that is needed for the installation. All you need to do to view your DivX movies properly is installing FFDShow (don't forget to configure properly).

Ok ive also edited the package a little to be more convenient for my purposes.

In install.bat i removed the PAUSE at the second to last line so it doesnt wait for the user to hit a key.

Also i repacked it as a silent SFX using WinRAR, so it extracts to the %ProgramFiles% folder and runs install.bat immediately afterwards.

Just FYI in case anyone out there looking to do the same.
Good work CoRoNe this is a very useful pack!

Next thing i need to find is the reg key to hide the FFDshow icons in the tray.
FFDshow installs silently using setup.exe /S btw.

Hello DigeratiPrime,

I'm glad you like it. Of course you can make it unattended but somehow I always had the feeling I had to install all the other stuff first (ffdshow, real alt, quicktime alt, etc.), but of course it would be really great if you could confirm it works for 100% this way. By the way; as mentioned in the readme, a directory structure already present in the archive, so perhaps you should change it into Path=%systemdrive%, I'm not sure.

The FFDShow tray icon(s) I always find quite handy though. It quickly shows me the filter(s) being used, bitrate, frequency, channels, you name it. You should take it a try: FFDShow Audio/Video Decoder Properties > Tray, dialog & paths > [Show tray icon] [Extended info]

Actually i changed my mind, originally i disliked the tray icon, but your right its very useful, especially for toggling subtitles.
Also I install them in the same order, but i doubt it would matter unless they shared certain files.

The reason i repacked it and used the %ProgramFiles% variable was that i changed the default location in winnt.sif to D:Program Files, so it may present a problem in that situation.
Thanks Again

in response to this thread i decided to upload my repack of your filterpack
It uses the code i described above.
