What does DV do? couldn't find any official help file or online faq covering this.

I was trying to have ffdshow correctly handle an uncompressed RGB24 source by selecting only the RGB24 colorspace as output, but it would fall back to RGB32 (that's what OSD reported) and the colors wouldn't look right.

Selecting DV/NTSC solved the color problem and video looked just perfect (on MPC and to my eyes, that is) but ffdshow wasn't loading and apparently some other color space converter (presumably MPC's) got behind.

I can only assume that DV means that the video is encoded to DV. But of course the video renderer does not accept that as input and that is why ffdshow doesn't get used.

Thanks, I think that may be it.

Do you know how to make ffdshow's output RGB24 the way this "Color Space Converter" does?

Do you know how to make ffdshow's output RGB24 the way this "Color Space Converter" does?

Uncheck all "Supported output colorspaces" excpet for "RGB24" in the ffdshow options :p

Ask in the large ffdshow topic. Maybe someone there knows why RGB24 isn't working as you expect.
