    FFDShow ... Help

    After reading information in the Newbies section I downloaded FFDShow and installed... It did solve some serious problems...
    HOWEVER, after I saw the menus the first time around (at installation) I have been unable to have the redisplayed the menus again... I've executed virtuall every application in the FFDShow directory and still no luck...
    I need to checkout some of the details and options presented in these menus...
    Please help me out... How do I get to them again...
    BTW I did uninstall and reinstall and got to see them again ONCE...

      Thanks... That was simple enough... I sure thought I had looked there before I asked the question - guess not...

      Three more Questions: (a little learning is a dangerous thiing...! I need to learn more...)
      1. As a newbie, where is a basic HELP Guide for understanding the use of CODECS...and all the various options and their applicability...
      2. The set of default options presented at setup included which programs to use FFDShow... How do I get back to that menu...?
      3. I'm using Adobe Premier Pro and I noticed an option in those original menus... I am having trouble with Premier Pro droping audio during rendering...

      Thanks in advance...

        At least you're asking the right questions. If you understand what "opening a can of worms" refers to, you've just done that. I'll presume you know how to "google" if you were able to find this forum. Use google and you'll find plenty of information that will get you started on your way to understanding codecs.

        You could always run the FFDShow installer again to get back to "that menu". That is, the installation configuration. But you should understand more about codecs and directshow filters so you will know what to do with "that menu".

        In regards to your Adobe Premier problem, that's a whole seperate issue specific to that application. I don't use it.
