strange problem with XviD B-Frames

i got a very strange problem:

when i play a XviD movie, encoded with b-frames and the filename is between 9 and 18 chars long the message "Broken B-Frames, Mising Ref Frame" is blinking while playing and it comes to standstills.

if i change the filename to <9 chars or >18 chars (doesn't matter which chars i use), the movie is played correctley.

i encoded this video once with "Packed Bitstream" activated and once without. same result.

I can't reproduce it.

Do you have this problem only with BSPlayer, or with every player ?
Which OS ? Do you use ffdshow for playback ? Or Xvid DSF ?

that problem is really strange...
i have the following directory structure:

Code:

M:\TEMP DVD

|   Bowfinger - CD1.avi

|   Bowfinger - Deutsch.ac3

|   Bowfinger - English.ac3

|

\---Bowfinger_CD1

    |   autorun.inf

    |   bowfinger.bsi

    |

    +---BSPlayer

    |   |   bplay.exe

    |   |   bsrendv.dll

    |   |

    |   +---lang

    |   |      ...

    |   |

    |   \---Skins

    |          ...

    |

    +---Data

    |       autorun.exe

    |       autorun.ini

    |       bowfinger.bmp

    |

    +---Install

    |       BSPlayer v0.85 Build 492.exe

    |       XviD (23.12.02).exe

    |

    \---Subtitles

            Bowfinger - Deutsch.srt

            Bowfinger - English.srt

if the movie ("Bowfinger - CD1.avi") is in the directory as above there are no problems to play it. but if it's in the subdir /Bowfinger_CD1 it doesn't work as i described it in my first post.

does bsplayer scan the directory for any files (e.g. .bsi-files) ?
but if i rename the .bsi file and change the extension, the problem is still there.

i use Win2000 Prof., BSPlayer v0.86 (the one in the directory above is still v0.85) and XviD version of 23. Dec '02
