BSPlayer crashes when playing & opening "Preference

[arnova]

I've got an odd problem with BSplayer. Whenever I'm playing a video (avi) and try to open the "Preferences", BSplayer just crashes (Dr Watson says "This program generated errors...." etc.). But if I do this and I stop (or pause) the video first, I have no problem. Hope you guys can fix it.

[edit]
Extra info I can provide is that it only happens when I use the ffdshow DS filter for playback, when I use eg. DivX5, there's no problem. Note that I use the latest unofficial alpha version of ffdshow. I think it has to do with the ffdshow settings tab within BSplayer. Could you maybe at an option which totally disables the DivX3/DivX5/ffdshow settings-tabs within BSplayer to fix (future) problems like this?
