Hi there,

thanks for your reply and sorry for the delay, I've been busy with work.

The "Draw subtitles to Overlay surface" is activated. The subtitles show fine, however they only do with the internal renderer. All the other overlay options do not display them, but they do not have the green dot issue either.

I use windows 7 and the BSplayer build is 1043.

I checked three files and they all list the same, so I guess it could be the codec after all. The info is pasted below. (I removed the filepaths) I have never installed a codec by hand and let the BS player do all the work, but I did install another player a while ago and uninstalled it again. (KM player)

I am not really savvy with codecs and reluctant to play around with them. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the BSplayer, but this did not have any effect. Any help would be greatly appreshiated. :)

Edit: I just checked another file that also uses the ffdshow video filter and works fine. It does use a different audio codec (AC3) but I don't see how that could influence the image in this way.
The dots also appear on files that do not use subtitles at all, or have them deactivated, so this does not seem to a source of the problem.
