Preferred Filter Tweaker 4.7

Tool	Description	Type	Rating	Comment
Preferred Filter Tweaker	Preferred Filter Tweaker is a tool to change the preferred video and audio decoders in Windows 7. Windows 7 uses its own DirectShow filters for decoding several audio and video formats. Using third party filters instead of the native filters is not possible without making changes to the Windows Registry. This tool allows you to configure your preferred DirectShow filters with just a few mouse clicks. It is quick, easy, and changes can be always undone. If you for example prefer to use ffdshow or CoreAVC for decoding H.264 video then you can do so by using this tool. Full description.

	Worked perfectly. I was having problems hearing audio on one of my video files, and was unaware my system's AAC decoder was set to Microsoft. I used this tool to change it to FFDshow, then played a video, now the audio was heard perfectly. A great tool. Posted April 02, 2010 by aln688.
