Problem while trying to open AVI files |
| |||
ASF disguised as AVI?
Okay, I've had this problem before too. It turns out that the files I couldn't open were actually of type ASF, just renamed as AVIs. Windows Media Player can open ASF files, but not BSPlayer, and I don't know why. Maybe they need a different codec or something. If you open the file in WMP, does it tell you that the file is of the wrong format or anything like that? If so, it's very likely that the file you have is of a different type, one that BSPlayer can't open. What can you do about this? I don't know. If you find out, let me know. :-)

Guess I was wrong
I just installed the newest version of BSPlayer (Build 803), along with ffdshow. I've had no problems so far, even with files that I know are of type ASF but named with an extension of AVI. Oh well, there goes my theory. I'm out of ideas now. Sorry. :?

Find out what type of video it concerns and whether you've got the codecs installed on your system. You can use e.g. GSpot or AviCodec to do that; see 2nd item of my Help to Help post. (Press on the link hereunder)
