Download LAV Filters 0.58

Version 0.58 of the LAV Filters has been released. The LAV Filters are a collection of open source DirectShow filters that allow the most common formats of audio and video to be played in a media player of your choice. It is similar to the FFDShow filters, which seem to be losing popularity lately. For example, the K-Lite Codec Pack still offers the choice between the FFDShow and LAV Filters, while the Combined Community Codec Pack only offers the LAV Filters. In version 0.58 the following changes and improvements have been made:

General

• Improved transition between ordered chapters in certain (badly formed) MKV files
• Improved handling of AVC1 in AVI files
• Improved accuracy of IAMStreamSelect::get_CurrentMarker
• Several potential crash fixes and stability improvements
