BS Player would be an awesome player if it worked
 

Installed BS Player Pro 2.53. Installed AC3 filter. Tried to open an AC3 avi, awesome video no sound. Messages ; directshow not found. reinstall directx 10, no help. Using Windows 7. AC3 filter version 1.63.

If this software wont play movies with sound on Win7 im surprised I couldnt find that on this extremely large forum.

Seems ive wasted a lot of time.

VLC player plays the same avi with sound but choppy video.

Pity. Anyone have a fix for this?

Ok installed the 2.54 beta. Reinstalled ac3 filter 1.63b.
played with Ac3 filt settings. No sound.

Guess BS Player Pro is not compatible with Windows 7, at least not for avi's encoded with AC3. Which is almost ALL OF THEM

BS Player is a FAIL

Well you guessed wrong! No problems here. Surely not with AC3 sound, which is - like you say - rather standard. What type of video are we talking about?
When installing BS.Player did you allow it to internally (i.e. for exclusive use by BS.Player) install its preferred codecs/filters?
Any problems which may be UAC-related?
Did you install without changing the defaults?
What filters/codecs (especially source and audio related) is BS.Player actually using when you play such file?
To find out:
with a file loaded (rightclick >) Options > Filters > Advanced
(For further info and access you may have to click on the + signs in front of the filters/codecs).
:wink:
