Unknown File Format () with uncompressed AVI
 

Has anyone got this problem before?

When I try to play an uncompressed AVI I created from Flash MX I get this error.
Warning - Unknown File Format ()

But it plays fine in WMP... :roll:

TIA,
Ken

This is a bug all right!
Every time i have to play a non-compressed file, or a dv avi, or a ms video 1 coded avi file i get stupid messages. And it wokrs O.K. in WMP and VirtualDub.
BSPLAY team! FIX THIS!

Maybe there is just a wrong header into the avi???
Because i using decompressed 24bit AVIs as source for conversion and they INDEED are playable into BSplayer too! Not only into mediaplayer...

...yes, there IS a bug, when i open the uncompressed file trough AVIsynth, it get wrong colors (blue look), but playback always worked.

Make sure the headers are okay :wink:

...and agreed, BSplayer have to be more tolerant, like the MS one are... :oops:

A problem, maybe, but here's a thought. How's about saying please also instead of just "BSPLAY team! FIX THIS!"??

I mean, that IS why the damn thing is still in build releases and not a final product, right? So that the team CAN work on these issues?

Bsplayer is not opening a file only if it can't find a codec to decompress it. So, install a dv codec and it will work ok. It needs those codecs because it don't use win mediaplayer to render them. An uncompressed avi file it takes something like 6 GB for 10 sec. Are you sure they are not compressed ? Or is a codec that WMP has built-in suport ?
