Frustrating to see that there is nothing going on in this Section.
A more detailed answer to software using Dshow filters. From a useres perspective, there are 3 categories of programs that use directshow. 1) Stuff using Directshow Sources -) VLC: open capture device -) LibAVCodec based stuff like ffmpeg, ffmbc & co 2) Stuff using Directshow Encoders -) nothing is really able to use "any encoder". most directshow filters need to be configured by a speical program. (not only through the property page) -) windows media encoder -) the real problem is not the encoding, but the muxing and writing to disc 3) Stuff being able to execute custom directshow graphs -) you can create directshow graphs using graphedit.exe or similar and "play" the graphs with some software like avisynth. At the end of the day, encoding with directshow turns out to be far too much effort. Its better to directly start with programs that use the libavcodec family, like ffmpeg, mencoder and Co. On the other hand, most "universal" Decoders, even most commercial programs like Carbon Coder and Flipfactory or Vantage have support for "decoding" video using directshow.

True, but these apps often force their own directshow splitters and decoders, overriding any third party filters that might be installed. This is done for reasons of compatibility
