BSPlayer vs MPG file?

allixsenos · #1 (**permalink**) 16th August 2004

I recently installed BSPlayer 1.00.809 from Kazaa Mega Codec Pack and since then I've been having a small problem with MPEG files

when I try to open an mpeg file (ANY mpeg file), bsplayer runs, shows an error message "Unknown file format ()" and then when I click OK, displays the file in an "ActiveMovie Window" instead of its standard overlay

can anyone help me out here? I'm getting a bit angry over this.

Try to install an MPEG2 decoder such as Elecard or BitCtrl

installed it too [elecard] now it worx ... but whats the reason?

i'm not happy with this solution cause this mpeg2 encoder seems to run on evaluation!

why it worked properly before? ... i didn't deleted any codecs ... just downloaded ffsdshow i think

Yeah, the only time I've had this problem is also right after downloading fddshow. I like fddshow because it lets me boost the audio and gamma correct (for some reason my NVidia Rage II drivers fail in this realm - i.e. I can't alter any brightness or contrast.
