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.

Does anyone know how to se ffdshow and xvid? i’m trying to install a video mod for Resident evil 4 and in order for the new hi res cutscenes to work, i have to download xvid codec and ffdshow and configure some settings. however, i’m not sure how to open up these programs and use them. it installed a folder to my desktop, but i don’t see a setup.exe, or anyway to actually open the ffdshow program. read the post by Grimlock http://z6.invisionfree.com/Resident_Evil_4_PC/index.php?s=abb4d29b9cd87ef8ac0c52b8b244b311&showtopic=167

I want to save a movie in Windows Movie Maker, but whenever I do so, a million little blue boxes appear in the corner (where all the little icons are) that are called “ffdshow audio decoder”. They don’t let the video make progress in saving. How do I get rid of them?

TOM asked:


I had once installed ffdshow codec pack on my laptop as i thought it might be good. But now I don’t need it and when i uninstall it and play videos with windows media player, it says”Windows Media Player can’t play file.Check whether a codec is available online.” or something of that sort. But before I had installed ffdshow on my laptop all media files worked well. Please help.

I downloaded a movie (AVI file, DVD rip) today and I’m trying to convert it so it can be played on my iPod. The thing is, I’ve tried two different conversion programs and both are telling me I need the codecs the video was made with, so I downloaded the pack from the link it gave me (Windows Essentials Media Codec Pack 1).

I don’t get how I’m supposed to use the codecs with the movie and converter. Can anyone help me?
