Hello all
First of all, the cliché remark, I hope I posted this in the right section

...
So, today I finally found the time to do a 'spring' (more of a 'summer-'

) cleaning of my computer... It would include a total clean(s)ing of any Micro$$$oftDirectShowCrap-filter present. And I have them a lot, Illiminable's oggcodecs, the CCCP, ffdshow, and other total random filters for nearly everything available... So, I decided to put
every codec I have in
one single folder... But I want to do it neatly, not nasty... That means
one codec,
one file (no more different files for the splitter, the decoder, the encoder, the container, the whatever-else-there-is). So I need to know a few things: (first a very unrelated and the most stupidest and noobishest question of all

): what is the difference between a container-filter and a splitter-filter? Is there any place in the world where I can find
fully up-to-date single DirectShowCrap-filters (I mean, finding a
single-file working DS-filter for e.g. FLAC, VobSub or VP6 is very nasty)? Is there an easily modularised Audio/Video player for Windows or Cygwin who
doesn't need DirectShow and is comparable in features to WMP (yeah, WMP, really

), Winamp or J. River Media Center?
Am I dreaming and hoping for a utopia

or can my will really be executed

?
Thank you
