I've searched this site as well as a few other sites as well to get the abbreviation of ffdshow to find no answer at all. It may look kind of pedantic and strange, but I would like to know it. So, Is there anyone who can answer me what ffdshow stands for?

I understand that
ffdshow
was created in 2002 as Windows DirectShow port/host oflibavcodec
, andlibavcodec
itself is a multipurpose codec library maintained by the FFmpeg Project since 2000, so the name "ffdshow" was likely the name was chosen as a reference to the FFmpeg Project.ffdshow basically allows
libavcodec
to be used by DirectShow-based applications on Windows, so any DirectShow program (Windows Media Player, Windows Media Center, Winamp, Musicmatch, Media Player Classic - and the media-players built-in to other software like KaZaA and Internet Explorer 6's Media sidebar) can play file formats supported bylibavcodec
.The FFmpeg project itself is named after the "Fast-forward" transport control in AV:
