What was that program?

[Gado]

I had a program before I reformatted my pc, what I remember was that when ever you played a video file it poped up two icons in the task bar near the clock. One controlled the audio stuff(ie. increase audio output) for the video file and one icon controlled the video stuff. What was it called??
Thanks

Could it be ffdshow or are you talking about controls?

[Gado]

Im thinking it was ffdshow but i downloaded it and it didnt look familiar.
It does like advanced settings for the video file.

This is the filename for the one i downloaded recently
ffdshow-20041012.exe

I dont know if they updated it from last time or if that is really old

AHH
I needed an updated version
Thanks for the help SOUP!!

it's a directshow filter that is capable of decoding (playing) many audio/video formats, using mostly libavcodec which is part of the ffmpeg project. latest builds from here.

also handles VFW (eg virtualdub), can encode and do some mean post processing too
