HAX264 is a DirectShow Video Transform Filter for decoding H264(AVC) video. It also includes a VFW driver.
This filter wraps the libavcodec portion of the FFMpeg project (http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/). Only the H264 codec from ffmpeg is exposed, and only the decoder is enabled. This is by design for patent liability reasons. However, this does expose the guts of a working DS filter - it could be easily modified to handle other underlying codecs.
The base filter was created by DSWizard (http://tmhare.mvps.org/downloads.htm), and some portions were deduced by looking at the ffdshow project (https://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow). Note that this is an early version of ffdshow - I found the original much easier to understand than the newer, "tryouts" version.

any volunteer to test it against the current ones (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?t=99402) ?
btw, why a forking for this ??? it seems that some people have too much free time to waste...
