thank you for the reply

in EVR mode, the filter is "ffdshow vedio decoder" the ffdshow icon is in the system tray. i can right click the icon and open the ffdshow menu.
according to the icon, the input:"DX50(libavcodec mpeg4)" output:"YV12,adj"

in overlay mixer mode, the filter is all the same. i can also access the ffdshow icon in the system tray. but the video is just a black window.
according to the icon, the input:"DX50(libavcodec mpeg4)" output:"YV12,adj,VU"

in default mode, the filter is also the same. the ffdshow icon also shows the same info as in the overlay mixer mode. bsplayer will pop up a warning said it's "unknown file format(DIVX)" and plays the file in an ugly "activemovie window" after clicking ok.


the ffdshow decoder is installed by bsplayer itself.




hope these information will help....

an update of my situation...

i uninstall the ffdshow by the codecmanager.exe in the bsplayer folder. and the overlay mixer mode seems to work again. the video plays correctly and the desktop mode is also working.
the default mode also plays the video well, but no desktop mode.

the filter now is "Mpeg4s Decoder DMO"
is it the win7 built-in decoder?

well, it solved part of the problem... i can play files in desktop mode again(overlay mixer).
but i like ffdshow decoder. it has more options and the quality is better.

so the ffdshow can't work with bsplayer anymore? and it's installed by bsplayer itself... that's very strange.

does anyone know what might cause this strange situation?

In this situation, you still must install ffdshow, as H264 and especially x264 files won't play anymore.
I suggest installing a newer build from free-codecs.com

yes, i soon notice that H264 file now give me a black window... :(

i've tried to install a different build of ffdshow.the situation remain the same.

if i install ffdshow, i could play H264 file in overlay mixer. but most of the other files will become a black window.

if i don't install ffdshow, the H264 file become all black. and the other files seems to be ok if the "mpeg4 decoder DMO" could decode it. but the quality is not ok....

the EVR mode seems to be ok with any kind of settings, but it won't support desktop mode.

Could you try to re-register quartz.dll ?
At this point I have no other clue about, as my BSPlayer (1069b) doesn't seem to have desktop mode available and I can't test it .

can you tell me what is quartz.dll ?
and how do i re-register it?

Quartz.dll is the core of DirectShow (which is responsible with multimedia playback), part of DirectX.
As for re-registering:

BSplayer plays video, no sound at all, reinstalling doesnt help.

Codec finding Error

quartz.dll replace or re-register safely?
