is there a combo directshow/mplayer?

I use media player classic / directshow for most things, and mplayer for some other things. Whatever. In media player classic though, you can choose to use directshow / realmedia / quicktime / shockwave frameworks for specific file types. My question is, is there a player that will use either directshow or mplayer depending on file types?

Well, MPlayer is MPlayer and it doesn't use DirectShow. MPlayer uses only its own "built-in" decoders, mainly libavcodec decoders. If you want to use the libavcodec decoders in the DirectShow world, you can simply use ffdshow...

mainly libavcodec, yes, but also the binary codecs package.. so until rv40 in ffdshow becomes awesome, and it gets cook decoding, or i decide to use realalternative, is there a player that can use either directshow or mplayer frameworks?

/me nods. Yes, mplayer has w32codecs, and i like directshow for other things. So is there a player, that utilises both mplayer[/w32codecs] and directshow as backends? In the same way that MPC can use directshow/realmedia/quicktime ?
