FFDShow 2006-11-04 has been released.

Notes about latest versions of FFDShow MPEG-4 Video Decoder :

- FFDShow 2006-08-28 (rev. 2546) was compiled by drevil_xxl using GCC 4.1.1 (libavcodec.dll & libmplayer.dll), FFDShow 2006-11-04 (rev. 497) MMX* was compiled by clsid using MSVC 7.1 (ffdshow.ax, etc) + GCC 3.4.5 (libavcodec.dll, mplayer.dll, kerneldeint.dll) while FFDShow 2006-08-03 (rev. 2546) SSE** was compiled by videomixer9 using ICL 9.1.028 + GCC 3.4.5.
* Only for CPUs with support for MMX (MultiMedia eXperience) instructions.
** Only for CPUs with support for SSE (Streaming SIMD Extensions) instructions. Check if your CPU has support for SSE or SSE2 instructions using Cpu-Z, a small tool which shows infos about CPU.

First of all, the FFDSHOW consumes way less CPU power than original DivX codecs, even with maximum post-processing. At the same time the post-processing seems to give excellent quality results and allows more configuring than the original DivX 5 codec. It can even automaticly reduce post-processing if your CPU is getting overloaded. The noise filter adds a kind of a rasterising effect to the picture - might be useful in some cases. The alpha version also includes experimental playback for MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 files (such as VCD and SVCD movies), which works pretty damn well. Only problem is that MPEG-2 playback can't play the SVCD clips directly from the CD, but requires the video to be extracted to the HDD by using VCDGear first.

Anyone know the difference between ICL9.1 and non-ICL9.1 builds?

ICL means the ffdshow part (the filters, mainly) is compiled with Intel compiler. It's sometimes much faster than microsoft's (MSVC), most strongly affecting the deinterlacing and noise removal. The decoders, encoders, post-processing, and resizing are all compiled by gcc 4.1, so they don't benefit from the speedup.
