Software Update: LAV Filters 0.70.2

Version 0.70.2 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.

There are also media players, such as Media Player Classic – Home Cinema and VLC Media Player, which already have it on board.
