[XviD-devel] Include ffdshow code in XviD CVS ??

Thank you, but I'm not very sure if ffdshow is so stable. For me it
works quite good, but there are some bugs reported for different OS or
video cards. Also it often crashes on Win98 - I've installed Win98 to
test, but have find a way how to access NTFS partition where I'm
developing ffdshow...

But if you would find some ffdshow's filters (like noise) useful, then
feel free to add it to XviD DShow.

When I included Nic's postprocessing to ffdshow, he wanted to
discontinue his XviD DirectShow filter. But it's still very useful,
because of it's small: has less features but also has fewer bugs. And
it has 100 KB installer.
