Software Update: LAV Filters 0.76.0

Version 0.76.0 of the LAV Filters has been released. The LAV Filters are a collection of open source DirectShow filters, which allow the most common formats of audio and video to be played in a media player of your choice. It is part of the K-Lite Codec Pack and the Combined Community Codec Pack, among others.
