Glynor: Recommended FFDShow Version?
Mr ChriZ:
I'm sure you put this somewhere.
I mentioned in the thread When Otto Works Badly
that I was getting crashes during Thumbnail regeneration
I tried going back to 12.0.28 and still got the crashes.
So Now I've uninstalled FFDShow (Nov 29th 2005 Build)
and reinstalled DIVX, and crashes have stopped.
I'm wondering which version of FFDShow would be the most stable?
Cheers
Chris.

The safest place to get current builds of FFDSHOW is on the FFDSHOW Wiki here. I've been using the ffdshow-20051129.exe build for some time and it's been fine. These daily builds do require an SSE capable processor, but if you don't have one of those you've really got other problems anyway...
Celtic_Druid generally also has great builds of FFDSHOW here:

However, if you want to really walk on the cutting edge, then check these places:
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/FFDShow.htm
http://x264.nl/
A warning though... Even though the current "daily" builds are sometimes stable, as the "head" developer stated here, they aren't really generally stable enough for him to even release an "official" build. I have tried out the current 2546 builds (both SSE and SSE2) and had problems with MPEG2 playback on the system. I have used some of Celtic_Druid's builds from 20060405 on my various systems without issue, but I'd steer clear of the brand new one for now.
Mr ChriZ:
OK Cheers I'll give some of those ago :)
Erm... what is an SSE capable processor?
How do I know if I've got one?!
I've got an Athlon XP 1700.
Alex B:
Do you have this model?

It supports SSE only, not SSE2.
You can use an SSE build of FFDShow also with newer SSE2 CPUs, but not the other way round.

I just imported about 100 GB of video files. Currently MC12 is very busy creating the thumbnails. It runs several decoders at same time (I think). My System Tray looks like this:
- 4 ffds video decoders, 4 ffds audio decoders and 3 vobsubs
For some time now, I have used this SSE build without problems:
ffdshow-20060420-gcc4.0.3-sse-x264.nl.exe (you may still find it from the x264.nl site.)
But I cannot recommend anything. As they say, your mileage may vary.
