Latest version of FFDShow video decoder is now online. FFDShow is a hugely popular video codec (encoder/decoder) which supports multiple video file formats. FFDShow supports high speed decoding of files encoded using DivX, Xvid, FFmpeg MPEG-4 (MPEG-4 ASP) ,H.264 AVC and a number of other formats. If you download movies or TV Shows via BitTorrent, FFDShow video decoder will easily play those for you as it supports XViD (which is what the scene and major p2p groups use for video compression). FFDShow is also an extremely good (I would even say superior) alternative to DivX pro codec which we featured yesterday.

Note: Some games such as Fallout 3 and Oblivion are known to have problems with FFDShow codec. You can easily rectify these problems by adding the problematic exe to FFDShow’s exceptions list. Click here for a step by step guide on how to do this.
