LAV Filters provides you with a comprehensive package comprising a multi-format media splitter, an audio decoder and a video decoding tool. Intuitively named LAV Splitter, LAV Audio and LAV Video, there components work together in order to allow the playback of any file format in a DirectShow compliant player.

MKV/WebM, AVI, MP4/MOV, MPEG-TS, FLV, OGG are tested and will be registered for. Other formats can be tested using GraphStudio. H264, VC-1, MPEG4-ASP (Divx/Xvid), VP8 have been tested and are working well. DTS, AC3, TrueHD, MP3, Vorbis have been tested. Subtitle Support. Stream Switching. LAV Splitter can demux sub-streams and comes with advanced subtitle handling options. It is capable of selecting streams based on the preferred quality, language and type (for instance, it can switch to streams dedicated to visually or hearing impaired persons).

The LAV video component supports multi-threading, hardware and software deinterlacing and come with hardware acceleration options, while the audio decoder supports bitstreaming through HDMI and S/PDIF to the receiver and features audio delaying options and automatic audio-video synchronization. The filters are still under development, so not every feature is finished, or every format supported.
