1.37 BUG, mpg incompatibility issue with PowerDVD 6.0

beholder4096 · #1 (**permalink**) 13th December 2005

On WinXP SP2, when Cyberlink PowerDVD 6.0 is installed, some mpg files using Cyberlink codecs play ok, but upon stopping the playback or closing the player whole BSplayer hangs nastily.

Other mpg files don't use these codecs at all. Weird.

Only MPEG2 files are accesing this decoder (same extension - mpg).

yep, and exactly these files cause BSplayer to hang up at the playback finish. That's the issue I wanted to report. Some incompatibility with PowerDVD codecs.

Do you have an error message asociated with this ? Regarding claud.ax ?

no, only bsplayer will not close. I have to switch to another app, click RMB on bsplayer in taskbar click close, wait for "program not responding" dialog then close one more time.

Also previous version did this.

It happens ONLY when you interrupt playback by trying to stop it or by trying to close BSplayer. When it finishes normally and goes to another file in playlist, it's ok, unless that file is also MPEG2 played by cyberlink codecs.
