Hi, anybody know of a directshow filter that decodes raw video besides ffdshow and is free?

What do you mean? Raw video doesn't need any decoding by definition.

Yes, i do know that, however, in my case, i have a directshow filter that needs a decoder to attach to, because it can't attach to my tv tuner card (using kmplayer), yeah.

Most probably TV tuner delivers video in one of YUV formats (like YUY2 or YV12) and your filter needs RGB or a different YUV. You can try inserting "AVI Decompressor" between them. This is actually a wrapper for VfW codecs but it usually finds a suitable converter to transform between different uncompressed video formats.

I will try that thanks.

It isn't working for me because I have to switch my capture output to rgb24, as yuv in kmplayer won't accept anything for some reason. When I'm using ffdshow with this particular filter-anaglyph.ax, the video becomes unwatchable for some reason. I've found a transform filter http://www.gdcl.co.uk/YUVxfm.zip that works with the above filter but I need deinterlacing. After using graphedit, i found a combination of ffdshow and those two filters that will allow to use ffdshow(deinterlacing), and use the anaglyph filter, problem is now, I can't get the combination correct in kmplayer.

Hi, I found a solution to my problem, a directshow filter that you can selectively input what colorspace you need to connect and the output as well. It connects ffdshow and anaglyph filter as well.
