AVi file flipped upside down when using "Extend picture

A little info:
BS Player Free v. 2.27 build 959 (27 feb. 2008)
Core2 duo CPU
Nvidia 7900GT (driver vers. 169.21)
29" CRT TV connected with S-vhs cable.
Windows XP SP2

I've set "Extend picture to 4:3" so that 16:9 movies are shown correct on my TV. That works great and all!

I have some avi files taken on my digital camera.
When I play them, they are shown upside down and only shown on my computer monitor. If i set "Extend picture to No Change" the avi files from my camera are shown correct on my computer monitor. Still not shown on my tv.

If I play the avi files from my camera in other movie viewers there's no problem.

I need "Extend picture to 4:3" functionality and to watch my digicam recordings correct (not upside down) without needing to alter the "Extend picture..." function.
What do I do?

This has to do with the filter/codec used for display.
Check under
(right click >) Options > Filters > Advanced (also click the [+]-s).
Check if video-filter/codec has option to "flip screen" or "flip video" or something similar in its properties.
:wink:
PS: I don't think you need to use BS.Player's "extend-feature" for your purpose.

In the filters section of the options there are the following:

I see nowhere in the properties something about flip screen or the like.

Ain't it easyer to play the file normally and to set the display mode from shift+2 and shift+3 ?

I think in Nvidia's properties you can select TV as "full screen device". Are you using clone mode or ...?
:wink:

I'm using dual view. If I use Clone mode, I can't get the subtitles to show on the tv :?

With "Draw subtitles to Overlay surface" selected under
(rightclick >) Options > Preferences > Subtitles > Subtitle properties ?
