Download ffdshow 2004-08-28

A new version of ffdshow has been released today in the form of 2004-08-28. This release is from here down and takes up just under two megabytes. This DirectShow filter can play DivX, XviD, wmv, MPEG1, and MPEG2 files. Ffdshow uses the libav codec from the ffmpeg project for video decompression, mplayer’s postprocessing code for improved visual quality of low bitrate files, and finally is based on XviD’s original DirectShow filter. Below are the changes posted from the 2004-08-08 release:
