mpg bug

UsagiChan · #1 (**permalink**) 1st March 2005

When I try mpg files with BSPlayer I get a black screen with a wide vertical green bar on theleft. Audio works. Windows Media Player 10 plays the files fine. Mpeg-2 decoder is installed.

BS Player works fine with avi and ogm, files.

Here's the output of GSpot:

Open Source Mpeg2Dec filter:
osMPEGVidDec.ax --- 1.0.0.0

Elecard MPEG2 Demultiplexer
Elecard mpeg2dmx.ax --- 2.0.90.30529

Microsoft DirectShow Video Renderer
Quartz.dll --- 6.5.2600.2180

Is this the result of a codecpack install ? Elecard MPEG2 Demultiplexer work together with Elecard MPEG2 video decoder not with Open Source Mpeg2Dec filter. Try to reinstall Elecard MPEG2 filter.

I tried a reinstall... no help

I also have Real Player, Winamp and Quicktime installed... Any and ALL of them will play mpg's. If BS Payer is incapable of playing certain file types I will be forced to use one of the other players, though the others lack some features that BS Player has.

I also installed Core Player and VLC Player... Both of those also will play mpg's

Sure looks like a program bug to me., since any other player except BS Player works.
