Codec Error in BS Player 2.51 Build 1022

[SolidSnake916]

Hello im new to submitting errors or asking about an error but here goes.

I recently upgraded from K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 5.61 to K-Lite Mega Code Pack to 5.80.

DirectVobsub (Subtitles) and FFDShow Video Decoder Would not load anymore. Only Haali MediaSplitter and FFDShow Audio Decoder would load.

I have tried the same encoded video on other players such as Media Player Classic Home Cinema v1.3.1458.0 and Everything but FFDShow Video Decoder would load because the video decoder in 5.80 uses DivX and not FFDShow for h.264 for Decoding.

I have come to the idea that BS Player 2.51 Build 1022 Would not integrate with K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 5.80, or a codec error on my side.

Please help me if it is a issue i can solve or if its a special setup needed to integrate it correctly. I have posted a info about the anime i encoded below. Im roughly new to encoding and codecs so i don't know if its helpful or not. Thanks in advance.

So the beta should work with the mega codec pack. The reason i use it is it is because i encode videos and i have all the codecs at once, and not individually. Either way thanks for confirming my answer about it being BS Player and not my computer.

Strange reasoning indeed! Further ......

Do you really think you need all codecs to encode? Do you really use them all (at once)?
I would say make up your mind and always install individually (so that you can e.g. also uninstall and/or update individually)!

Some codecs use commandline to install or use, which i dont like, i like codec packs like k-lite because they always update unlike CCCP. Possibly im just a person who likes it easy and doesnt wanna update every plugins 1 by 1 and restart my computer so much. Which causes problems in the long run sometimes like now, but either way... "if its not broken dont upgrade" comes into good use here. You can close this topic now. since my question has been answered, thanks again!
