QuickLook

What's Changed

• Update LAVFilters to 0.81.0 #1362 #1855 #1863

  A possible side effect is that users with older GPUs or without the latest VC++ Redistributable installed may experience video playback failures.

  Nevertheless, QuickLook has chosen to continue with an up-to-date update strategy.

  If you encounter any issues, you can refer to #1362 and consider downgrading your LAVFilters version.
