I use the LAV-Filters many years on nvidia hardware (GT 960, GTX 1060 ti) and it is a nice and compact filter pack for playback of different video and audio codecs. I am very happy with it. I do not understand, why other people have problems in combination with video editing programs. I use different video programs to encode videos with CPU and CUDA features and NO program has a problem with it! Maybe other users with problems use the wrong settings or the video software is very unstable. I use Adobe Premiere, Nero Video, Handbrake, Xmedia Recode, StaxRip, ... with Nvidia CUDA and all programs work fine.
If you use MPC Player BE or HC you do not need the LAV-Filters, because the video player already contain the lav filters.

Used to work perfect with my NVIDIA card. Now I changed to AMD Radeon RX6600 and there is judder with some h264 coded movies and Servus TV HD and my DVB-Viewer with DXVA2 activated.

May 22, 2022 Version: LAV-Filters 0.76.1 / 0.76.1-3 Nightly
OS: Windows 11 64-bit Ease of use: 10/10
Functionality: 7/10
Value for money: 10/10
Overall: 7/10
Entirely based on the usage of CUDA in video editor and authoring software.
Not easy to use, there is too much choises of settings in there, which can be too confusing for a lot of people, where they might end up doing some wrong choices of settings, which can mess things up.
Hence i can't give it a higher rating than i did.
My experience is that LAV-Filters kills the CUDA support in both TMPGEnc Video Mastering Works 7 and Authoring Works 5 & 6.
I had to uninstall LAV-Filters, do a pretty hard cleaning of left overs and return back to ffdshow tryouts and Haali Media Splitter to get the CUDA support back.
Hence the low rating i gave it on its functionality, because its also a CUDA killer.
LAV-Filters works well on other points if you just wanna use it for getting support for playing various video formats.
But you have to stay away from it if you use CUDA supporting video editors and DVD/Blu-ray authoring software.
