all modern video players are using LAV decoders + ffdshow raw filter

wmp and wmc use filtergraph but I'm not sure how I'd be able to set up wmp to use lav via ffdshow raw.

I remember being able to do this with my old Blackmagic Intensity capture card; use ffdshow raw in MPC-HC and it pipes in the straight MJPEG feed from the capture card but again this setting would have no effect with playback files afaik.

I just saw the latest update and was thinking about getting SVP Pro with the sweet discount but it got me thinking: if SVP continues to stick with the ffdshow codec for windows media players there really is no incentive for me to take the plunge. I was honetsly thinking of getting Pro anyway but was waiting for LAV decoders to be supported. Already the latest SVP Free crashes media players when a 1080p mp4 plays (tested on wmp, media center and mpc-hc on win7 x64). FFdshow is a dead codec and the headaches of trying to make it work with modern players / splitters is becoming too much of a hassle.

Has anyone heard if the SVP team are considering a move away from ffdshow for windows Directshow? Before anyone suggests mvp for windows or vlc, my needs are best served with windows media center, I'm sure mvp/vlc work great for you but it just won't cut it for my requirements.
