I wish it had an on-off feature & the Ffdshow benefits.

Pros
I like that it's free.
Cons
Imposes on you. You can't control it. You can not turn it off.
Summary
I am not a savvy PC user and I wish I knew how I benefit from this application. I also wish it had an on-off feature to allow me to find out on my own. You are stuck with it. You do not know what benefit you are receiving from it. At times it makes no sense when the icon shows up, so it feels intrusive. Why is the icon "on" when I am not playing any video nor audio files? Can someone please tell me how to control this application? Thanx!
Does everything you need.

Pros
Has every codec I've ever needed, not much more I could ask for, cooler name perhaps?
Cons
Seems to have one or two unnecessary codecs, but 'spose it's better than the alternative

Pros
I love this product. I download it and use it. I never have to configure it. Whenever my machine gets video errors, I install this product and the problem goes away.
Cons
The configuration options are way too confusing. Luckily I never had to configure it.
Summary
Get it! Use it!

Pros
to use it download, run the setup and install, then restart you computer and then you will probvably never have to touch this again, most good media players route out the required decoding software when you try and play a file, so i like the ease of use and the fact that its maintenance free.
