Like bluedan, I suspect there is something wrong with your downloaded movies, not with BSPlayer.
There are several things that can be wrong so you have to work the problem:
1. Is DirectX installed correctly?
To check this, type "dxdiag" in the windows run box and make sure there aren't any problems there.
If you do find problems, simply reinstall DirectX 8.1
2. Is the codec installed correctly?
Try a DivX movie that you *know* works, using windows media player.
Install DivX 5.02 if you haven't already.
3. What's wrong with your movies?
Now this will get a little more complicated.
Basically, we want to find out if your files are broken, and if they are, find if they can still be fixed.
Try to run the movies with windows media player. Does it work?
If
yes, it should work with BSPlayer too
EXCEPT if you can run the movie but can't seem to "jump" in the middle of it, the movie might be in fact an ASF file which isn't supported by BSPlayer... in this case, change the extension to .ASF and watch it using WMP. :(
Else, try a BSPlayer debug version and if it fails, send the log to Bst.
If
no, your movie is corrupted.
There are 2 possibilities that I know of to fix broken movies.
* download
Divfix and try to fix the file. If it works, great!
* download
VirtualDub and get ready to do some videoediting! I found that VirtualDub can open almost ANY video file if you tweak the "advanced" options. Once you've opened it, you'll have to reincode the movie - there are many excellent tutorials about VirtualDub on the internet.
Try
this guide for a start.
If you can't fix it with VirtualDub, the only hope you have left is to use a commercial videoediting program like
Ulead Video Studio 6 which is relatively expensive, slow and tricky to use... or you can simply retry the download! :lol:
Hope this helps!
