LAV Filters is a set of open-source DirectShow filters based on FFmpeg's libavformat and libavcodec, providing media splitting and audio/video decoding for Windows. It enables DirectShow-based players to play virtually any media format, including MKV, MP4, TS, FLV, and BluRay structures.
Use cases
- play any video format in a DirectShow player like MPC-HC
- decode audio and video with ffmpeg-based DirectShow filters
- configure preferred audio and subtitle language selection
- replace Haali Media Splitter as the system splitter
- enable BluRay playlist playback in DirectShow players
When to choose
- you use a DirectShow-based media player on Windows and need broad format support
- you want ffmpeg-quality decoding integrated into DirectShow graph playback
- you need configurable audio/subtitle stream selection by language
When to avoid
- you need a standalone media player rather than DirectShow filters
- you develop on non-Windows platforms, as DirectShow is Windows-only
- you need a media framework for embedding playback in your own app rather than system-wide filters
