How do I get BSPlayer to default to WinDVD codecs for MPEG-2
 

Running WinXP (Home). BSPlayer (build 492) would normally default to using WinDVD's codecs for MPEG-2 playback, which worked fine. After installing nVidia's NVDVD player, it now defaults to those codecs, which screws up the video. Uninstalling NVDVD puts the defaults back to WinDVD.

How can I point BSPlayer to WinDVD's codecs, so that I can have both it and NVDVD, and still use BSPlayer as my default MPEG-2 player? I have created a "Filter" folder and put WinDVD's codecs in there, but I guess there's more to it, as that doesn't work.

Any help appreciated.

<EDIT>
OK, I figured it out, at least how to write the bspfilter.dat file, after I searched the Registry and got the CLSID's for InterVideo's codecs.

BSPlayer now uses those codecs; the problem is now if I click on the position bar, I get a "handler exception: EIP00493482...invalid floating point operation", yada, yada...

I've seen other posts about this, so I'll look, but, in the meantime, if anyone has an answer, thanks.

Bruiser,

could you perhaps help me get WinDVDs codec to work in BS Player? I would really appreciate it!

Xophile: you've got mail.

An update: I upgraded to build 493, and, while I no longer get the handler exception when I try to use the seekbar, it always shows 100%.

Has anyone found a way to get nVidia's filers to work? Those are the ones that BSPlayer will default to for MPEG-2. The audio is fine, but the video doesn't work.

Hi,

Bruiser would you have the goodness and send me an explaination of your method changing the codecs in BS, too. I really need that.

Bye and THC CK
