strange problem with XviD B-Frames

[TheBrain]

i got a very strange problem:

when i play a XviD movie, encoded with b-frames and the filename is between 9 and 18 chars long the message "Broken B-Frames, Mising Ref Frame" is blinking while playing and it comes to standstills.

if i change the filename to <9 chars or >18 chars (doesn't matter which chars i use), the movie is played correctley.

i encoded this video once with "Packed Bitstream" activated and once without. same result.

I can't reproduce it.

Do you have this problem only with BSPlayer, or with every player ?
Which OS ? Do you use ffdshow for playback ? Or Xvid DSF ?

that problem is really strange...
i have the following directory structure:

M:\TEMP DVD
|   Bowfinger - CD1.avi
|   Bowfinger - Deutsch.ac3
|   Bowfinger - English.ac3
|
\---Bowfinger_CD1
    |   autorun.inf
    |   bowfinger.bsi
    |
    +---BSPlayer
    |   |   bplay.exe
    |   |   bsrendv.dll
    |   |
    |   +---lang
    |   |      ...
    |   |
    |   \---Skins
    |          ...
    |
    +---Data
    |       autorun.exe
    |       autorun.ini
    |       bowfinger.bmp
    |
    +---Install
    |       BSPlayer v0.85 Build 492.exe
    |       XviD (23.12.02).exe
    |
    \---Subtitles
            Bowfinger - Deutsch.srt
            Bowfinger - English.srt

if the movie ("Bowfinger - CD1.avi") is in the directory as above there are no problems to play it. but if it's in the subdir /Bowfinger_CD1 it doesn't work as i described it in my first post.

does bsplayer scan the directory for any files (e.g. .bsi-files) ?
but if i rename the .bsi file and change the extension, the problem is still there.

i use Win2000 Prof., BSPlayer v0.86 (the one in the directory above is still v0.85) and XviD version of 23. Dec '02
