Hi,
ffdshow gives you the ability to use more types of codecs for the Microsoft DirectShow system. This is good because it can allow you to decode more different types of files for playing or converting. Replay converter uses it to help convert files using DirectShow. However since DirectShow and ffdshow are system-wide, you may be asked from other programs if you wish to use ffdshow or not. It's up to you if you wish to use it for that program. That program may still work if you wish to not use it.
