That is absolutely not a codec pack. The old versions of FFDShow floating
around do cause a lot of problems (which is why I really prefer if people
use the current proper name "FFDShow Tryouts" instead of "FFDShow"), but
FFDShow Tryouts is a first party codec that's still being worked on and that
you can get a level of support for.
