Standalone DivX CD: BSPlayer + ffdshow = crash?

[Smarties]

DragonFighter, thanks for your reply.

Sorry for the extremely long post, I wanted to make sure that I included everything that was relevant :?

In the meantime, I managed to make things work using the DivX codec instead of ffdshow. So there's no hurry anymore.

My bspfilters.dat now reads:

[BSPlayer filter def file]
AddFilter divxdec.ax,{78766964-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71},DivX Decoder
AddFilter l3codecx.ax,{38BE3000-DBF4-11D0-860E-00A024CFEF6D},Fhg MPEG Layer3 decoder

[Video]
DIVX={78766964-0000-0010-8000-00AA00389B71},DivX Decoder

[Audio]
0055={38BE3000-DBF4-11D0-860E-00A024CFEF6D},Fhg MPEG Layer3 decoder

I only left the file divx.dll in the main folder and divxdec.ax + l3codecx.ax in the /filters folder. Works fine so far!

This prompts the questions:

1. I still don't understand what was wrong with my ffdshow setup?
2. What is the advantage of using ffdshow.ax over divxdec.ax?
