I get the same, ffdshow appears and then the trainer crashes. I tried another trainer - just cause 2 and that brought up ffdshow but in this case the trainer worked, has something changed in the way the trainer was created? (not that I know anything about creating trainers, i don't). Please help. I forgot to mention that I turned off my av, firewall and downloaded the trainer again, still no luck.

I just changed computer and reinstalling my programs I had the same problem with the singularity trainer, ffdshow prompt then trainer crash. I managed to solve it so here's the tip in order to avoid hairs tearing for other users that may encounter the same problem (on Windows 7 64 bits -- not tested on Windows 8):
1) Grab your offline authentication key from CH (Follow the instructions on the trainer troubleshooting page for that)
2) Place the key in the same folder as the singularity trainer
3) Disconnect your computer from the internet (by temporary disabling your network adapter in the Windows network and sharing center or by turning off Wi-Fi, whatever is the case for you)
4) Launch the trainer. It should launch flawlessly without even a ffdshow prompt. Close it.
5) Re-enable your internet connection. From now on, the trainer should work OK.
Hope that helps whoever needs it.
Howdy,
Just curious, was that installed by Steam or the game or was that an optional decoder that you had installed?
ffdshow comes with Windows Media Player and is also used by DirectX for DirectShow so normally it's present in all Windows. It's a very common codec used by a a lot of media programs including games.
