But AFAIK BS.Player v2.21 temporarily disable Aero when you use Overlay rendering:

* Improved overlay handling under Vista OS, Aero will be now temporarily disabled when overlay mode is selected

:roll: are you sure you are using v2.21?

Have you tried (e.g. using "internal renderer overlay (default)" or "internal renderer, DirectDraw surface") and then not jump/skip this warning, but allowing Aero to be disabled as it says?

So (also for the possible benefit of other users) what settings are you using now On18?

Same problem here, the fix seems to be changing the Render mode to "internal renderer, DirectDraw surface" ...

To explain it step by step: go to options > preferences > Video > Video Rendering (on the far right, don't select any subcategory on the left)

In the pulldown menu Rendering mode, select "internal renderer, DirectDraw surface"

Best regards / Lep pozdrav ;)

OK, and maybe it's my imagination, but do videos look, I don't know, not as smooth when not using overlay mode versus using it?

I know for sure that the color richness fades when not in overlay mode (i.e. when IN "Internal renderer DirectDraw surface" mode, the one you have to be in so Aero isn't deactivated), and contrast looks off.

At least it looks that way when compared to WMP, or BSP in its default rendering mode.

I know overlay mode is supposed to be about using less resources, but does it also go to quality? In other words, are the other modes something less?

I'm testing with the latest version.

P.S.: Some of the other modes also work without disabling Aero. "EVR Enhanced Video Renderer" is one that also -- at least on my system -- make videos look as good as they do in WMP or BSP in its default rendering mode.

I suppose this is all highly variable depending on your system, but it's worth experimenting with these settings.

BTW, are all the various modes actually defined somewhere? I really have no idea what any of them are.

VMR:

Overlay

EVR (vista only)

From the tests I've made, the solutions under Vista are Internal renderer (default) with aero disabled (if you watch a video file you won't need aero) or VMR9.

Contrast might be off because your videos are decoded in brightness range [16,235]. If your videoadapter does not decode to full range [0,255] then use RGB32 mode as the output of your video decoder. It will be slower.

Hello everyone.I really enjoy this programm and have loved it...But these days i m having an issue...Any help please...I searched but i am really tired cause did not find nothing.Well, my problem is that when i open the Bs player it shows me the message "Overlay is not compatible with Aero"......and etc (see the photo---> ) .

I changed all the video renderings but nothing happened.Bs player played only the mp4 files,but in all other it was crashed.(bs 2.57)
I downloaded the latest drivers for my graphics but the problem still remains.
I tested old version from Bs player but there was the same problem

ANY HELP???PLEASE..

My guess is that BSPlayer can't save it's configuration file (due to the rights over the folder or UAC not disabled)

Tnks for your post,if i understood correct i have to disable the "UAC"....As i saw in my laptop,UAC is already disabled(tha bar in the lowest point)

But what happened with Aero?Can i find an install about this or sth else(sorry i do not know exactly what is this)?I was working fine with Bs player before two months ,but some days before when i opened a movie to see via bs,i realised that was not workin...And i m trying to remind what changes happened at this time...but...

1. Try to unset "read only" at your program files folder (where BSPlayer is installed)
2. Aero is a part of Windows architecture (glassy interface to be simple)
