Error when i'm trying to go to config menu with divx 5.1

HaPpO-Busti · #1 (**permalink**) 4th September 2003

Since i have installed divx 5.1, bs player crashes when i open the config menu while playing a video, but if i go to previous versions of divx, the problem is solved. Maybe a future version of bs player will solve it?

What version/build are you presently using?
The latest is version 86 build 501.
(Install 500 http://www.bsplayer.org/dlfile.php?s...lay086.500.exe
and subsequently place the two substituting files and 1 additional file of build 501 http://www.bsplayer.org/dlfile.php?fname=bsplay.zip in its installation directory).
I've had no problems with this build (501) and version 5.0.5 of divx (I ain't using version 5.1 yet; it only appeared this week!)

Thanks for the advice. I'll try. I'm currently using build 500. BTW, how do you know about build 501? I didn't hear of that.

I have tried it with build 501 and divx 5.1 but the program has the same error than before. It happens when i try to go to config menu while playing a video file:

(Note: I have tried it with two different computers, but the error persists)

Last time when divx changed interface bsplayer acted the same. Maybe is the same problem this time. A bsplayer problem.

yes, same problem here, nothing helps

What I did (I was so fortunate to have another PC, where I didn't upgrade DivX) was simply search (through [Start]) for the file divxdec.ax.
Then I renamed it (make sure when doing so there is no player active so that this .ax could be in use), e.g. to Xdivxdec.ax. Subsequently I placed the divxdec.ax file from my other computer in that same (system) directory.
You may use the same file as I used (as attached).
(You will first have to unzip it and after having placed it in the (system) directory where you found your newer version, you will have to rename it to divxdec.ax by removing the numbers in front of its name which indicate its version.
Mind you: by first renaming your existing file (instead of removing or overwriting it), you can later at any time "undo" your "downgrading" and activate your newer DivX-version again.

(P.S.: If I remember correctly, I first had to restart my computer before it worked)

the older version of divx codec did not make that problem, but the new one does. I dont think that we should install older version ov Divx, its better to download a newer version of BSP, compatible with hte codecs' versions

OK, a very legitimate choice you made! You will then have to wait till bst has adapted this of course.
Mind you, it can repeat itself later (the same phenomenon has already occurred with earlier versions of DivX) if you upgrade to yet an newer version of DivX.
I personally feel that it not necessary to keep up 100% with all new DivX-releases which appear, as it also takes a while before such new codec is actually used in practice for encoding movies. People that encode movies also know that loads of people do not always upgrade on a regular basis, so they take that into account as well.

you are quite right! thats why newer and newer program versions appear, there must have a progress :) anyway, think that BSP should not be codec dependant in such a deep way :)

anyway BSP is the best player, i will never substitute it with another program

About the Divx, i hope this encoder will dissapear soon, leaving space to XVid :)

I've meanwhile understood that the problem has been solved in the latest nightly 501 build
http://www.bsplayer.org/dlfile.php?fname=bsplay.zip
(Still have to try it myself)

(Will remove my attachment anyhow, so that people are not tempted without there still being a valid reason for using an older DivX)
