Win7DSFilterTweaker is a tool that allows you to configure your preferred DirectShow filters with just a few mouse clicks. The tool is quick, easy, and changes can always be undone. Windows 7 uses its own DirectShow filters for decoding several audio and video formats. However, using third party filters instead of the native filters is not possible without making changes to the Windows Registry. If you for example prefer to use ffdshow or CoreAVC for decoding H.264 video then you can do so by using this tool. Win7DSFilterTweaker tool is particularly useful for the Microsoft players, such as Windows Media Player and Media Centre, certain advanced third party players, such as Media Player Classic, are already capable of using third party filters without using this tool.

Win7DSFilterTweaker is a also a tool capable of completely disabling Media Foundation and other Microsoft playback components by renaming certain files. However, you should be aware that doing so might have noticeable side effects. For example, playback of live TV in Media Centre could stop working. The great news however, is that any change made by the tool can easily be undone to restore the system to its original state.
