I don’t remember if ffdshow came on my computer. If you know if it is a standard windows vista 32 program too that would be appritiated. It reads all of my files and makes thumbnails. I just converted a video for mp4 format, ipod format, and every since then, my folder named after my computer crashes when I open it. Making all of the still working files un-accessable. I was told by others having my problem on their website that some can move the file and use a different reader to see it. I have VLC, but I am afraid if I move the file to another area, because I can use cmd prompt to problem to do that, I will cut myself off of a greater portion of my computer. Please provide instructions of how to get the software and if you can provide a link of how to overide ffdshow, or even get rid of it, that would be GREATLY, greatly appritiated.

FFDSHOW is not a standard windows program. This was basically started to compete with the DivX programs … now, the best suggestion would be to uninstall ffdshow from your control panel and then use VLC to access your files.
If your computer crashes everytime you open a particular folder, the problem may not be with ffdshow, but just that the sector might be corrected and there is a chance you may not recover the files in there.
To override ffshow from opening any files of a particular extenstion (say mp4), right click on any mp4 file and use “open with” option to make it open with vlc player and select the “as default” option …
Hope this helps ..
