" The popular all-in-one and open-source codec solution. "
- From FFDShow Tryouts
FFDShow Tryouts is a fork of the original FFDShow software.
ffdshow tryouts is a DirectShow and Video for Windows codec with support for a wide range of audio and video formats, such as Xvid, DivX, and H.264.
It includes a powerful filter set that can enhance the video quality - with filters for resizing, deinterlacing, and displaying subtitles - as well as audio quality through normalization, down-/upmixing, and resampling.
ffdshow can be configured to display subtitles, to enable or disable various built-in codecs, to grab screenshots, to enable keyboard control, and to enhance movies with increased resolution, sharpness, and many other post-processing filters. It has the ability to manipulate audio with effects like an equalizer, a Dolby decoder, reverb, Winamp DSP plugins, and more. Some of the postprocessing is borrowed from the MPlayer project and AviSynth filters.
ffdshow uses the libavcodec library and several other free, open source software packages to decode video in most common formats, such as:
* MPEG-4 Part 2 (including video encoded with Xvid, 3ivx, and all versions of DivX).
* Flash Video, H.263 and VP6 (used by sites such as YouTube).
* H.264/AVC, Theora, WMV as well as numerous others.
ffdshow also decodes audio, such as:
* MP3,
* AAC,
* Dolby AC3,
* WMA
* FLAC, and
* Vorbis formats, among others.
The post-processing video filters of ffdshow can be used in video editors such as VirtualDub or AviSynth, by configuring the VFW settings. In these editors, ffdshow can also be used to encode MPEG-4 video compatible with Xvid, DivX, or x264 codecs, as well as lossless video and a few other formats supported by libavcodec.
Other Features:
