DirectShow FilterPack is a lightweight package of DirectShow media filters which will enable you to play many different kinds of encoded audio and video files with your favorite DirectShow media player.
Unlike codecpacks, DirectShow FilterPack doesn't include one single codec or encoder. Thus, you cannot use it to encode or create audio or video. It can only be used to decode/play audio and video files.
Neither does DirectShow FilterPack include multiple DirectShow filters for one particular audio or video format. This can cause conflicts and is something you see quite often with big codecpacks. Nor does DirectShow FilterPack come with a DirectShow media player.
DirectShow FilterPack is a no-nonsense lightweight package of DirectShow filters that lets you play virtually anything!
