While playing with the Cedocida VFW codec under WinXP and Win7 I noticed that VFW codecs appear in device manager under WinXP, but not under Win7.

I suppose that M$ wanted to get rid of the VFW interface as quickly as possible, but I still appreciate it very much if I can check and edit codec settings with an Operating System tool. Does Win7 (and later) really have no way to access the VFW codec configuration? The DS filter tweaker by clsid only handles DirectShow filters, not VFW.

I know I can do this from within VDub, but is that the only way? I also saw that there is the "Codec Tweak Tool" from the K-Lite package, but for me the name "K-Lite" triggers a big red warning light...
