+LAVFSplitter - a libavformat based directshow media splitter
+
+Prereqs
+=============================
+VC++2010 Runtime (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=a7b7a05e-6de6-4d3a-a423-37bf0912db8)
+
+Install
+=============================
+- Unpack
+- Register (regsvr32 LAVFSplitter.ax)
+	Registering requires adminitrative rights.
+	On Vista/7 also make sure to start it in an elevated shell.
+
+Using it
+=============================
+By default the splitter will register for all media formats that have been
+tested and found working at least partially.
+This currently includes (but is not limited to)
+	MKV/WebM, AVI, MP4/MOV, TS/M2TS/MPG, FLV
+
+However, some other splitters register in a "bad" way and force all players
+to use them. The Haali Media Splitter is one of those, and to give priority
+to the LAVFSplitter you have to either uninstall Haali or rename its .ax file
+at least temporarily.
+
+Feedback
+=============================
+There currently is no official place for feedback.
+A thread on Doom9 is going to be created eventually.
+You can, however, reach me on IRC in the MPC-HC channel on freenode (#mpc-hc)
