Do you have any problem with that ?
I don't consider ffdshow as a requirement.

Have you seen how many views does your topic have? So it is fair to say that "your opinion" is an actual recomendation - you could just add ffdShow as an alternative to DivX, XviD and other filters. But, yet, it's your opinion so I won't tell you what to do - it's merely my suggestion. :)

But that part about using the term DirectShow filter instead of codec still applies - codecs are not needed for viewing, only for encoding or editing files. DirectShow filters are needed for viewing files and cannot be used for encoding or editing. Many people and even on-line or off-line (computer magazines) media don't realize that. Spread the word! ;)
