FFDShow support

Hi,
I don't know if you have had time to think about this yet, but will the new built in media player have support for FFDShow similar to Zoomplayer?

Also control over which codecs are used?

Its based on dshow.... FDshow is dshow filter so it will naturally have the support.

Only interesting thing is how customizable filtergraphs will be with new player. Optimal solution would be if it would allow u to tailormade whole graph with graphedit and just directly load right .GRF file for occasion.

That is how the player i made for XL worked (i called it graph runner or GRd, but it never made polished enough for distribution, and i was having prolem to XmoveWindow it)... And if steven would follow same concept... i think built in player would not only be used by novice users but power users as well.

That said im very happy that Steven chooge to allow the use of "foreign" players... and if that wouldnt be case and new built player would not accept .GRF files that would be quite a showstopper for me personally.
