Description dBpoweramp has a DirectShow Codec, this allows dBpoweramp to read from any DirectShow filter Codec installed. Important: The DirectShow codec below does not come with any decoders (or DirectShow filters), these must be installed separately, then configure dBpoweramp's DirectShow codec to recognize the installed filter (by adding the file type, see the help file).
