Loading Subtitles & Maximizing Causes Terrible Screen Lags

2. How do I do that? I know, it's a dumb question, but codecs overall don't have an uninstall button, so shall I use some manager or search & manual Del.?

Go to BSPlayer's install folder and run codecmanager.exe. Check the filters you want to uninstall and hit "uninstall" button

Concerning AAC, I found one on free-codecs.com, but it's from 2006, is it even safe to be getting that one?

Thanks,

2006 AAC filter is ok. I am using an 2004 version with no problems.
You can download CoreAVC trial version for two weeks IIRC. Other option for AVC is ffdshow.
You can blacklist microsoft's DTV-DVD going to filter management -> blacklist - > add

Good news, I've finally made some progress. FFDSHOW is now installed, loaded and is running, during the .mkv is playing, however, still choppy, screen somewhat paused for 4 secs, then it jumps forward and again, BUT THIS IS HAPPENING ONLY AFTER I LOAD EXTERNAL .srt / .sub and MAXIMIZE to FULL SCREEN.

I installed that 2006 AAC (quick 2 secs. installation), but failed to find this one in the codec manager, neither is it loaded.

What should be the next move?

Please note BS.Player accompanying program codecmanager.exe only concerns and deals with BS.Player's preferred filters/codecs, so other codecs/filters like CoreAAC will not show up in it.
You should however be able to find CoreAAC using BS.Player's in-built function Filter management.
Please note codecmanager.exe and BS.Player's Filter management are two separate and different things, as also mentioned by me in this post:

If you want to know which filters/codecs BS.Player is actually using for playback of any specific file, just load that file and then look under
(rightclick >) Options > Filters > Advanced
There you will be able to find the codecs/filters which are actually used by BS.Player for that specific file.
When you click on the small [+]-signs in front of the filters/codecs shown, further information (and access) to those filters becomes accessible.
(Note: do not forget to also click on "source", as that may reveal usefull info too).

Note: codecmanager.exe and BS.Player's "Filter management" (under rightclick > Options > Preferences > Filter management) are two separate things. The first is an auxiliary program to check if BS.Player's preferred codecs/filters are installed and up-to-date (and if not installed it will install 'internally' if permitted by you and/or if not up-to-date it will show you). The second one is BS.Player's in-built filtermanager, allowing you to e.g. change filter-priority or to blacklist certain (system's) filters for use by BS.Player (e.g. if that filter causes problems). When a filter is blacklisted by you in BS.Player's Filter management, BS.Player will - as a rule - automatically search and find another (combination) of splitter/filters/codecs to play the file.

So that's exactly why, when adicoto asked you
"2. Can you do one more test ? Uninstall all codecs installed by BSPlayer, except for Haali and AC3filter. Install CoreAVC and CoreAAC. Play an MKV and post here which filters are used to play the file" (later informing you to do that by going to BSPlayer's install folder and run codecmanager.exe. Check the filters you want to uninstall and hit "uninstall" button) he mentioned to run codecmanager.exe, whereas when he replied "You can blacklist microsoft's DTV-DVD going to filter management -> blacklist - > add" he referred to Filter management.
(Note I'm just adding this to make it - also for the benefit of other users, who may perhaps be confused - abundantly clear that it does concern two different and separate things.)

In your last post you mentioned that you're using (also) external .srt/.sub subtitles.
Did you - in that connection - check/select "[x] Disable embedded subtitles" under (rightclick>)Options>Preferences>Subtitles [Subtitle properties]?

Well, well, well...

Thanks a lot guys, I really appreciated your endurance, with me, it's never easy and many support teams were driven mad because of me, however, good news for today, after total amount of more then 30 hours (not straight of course, lol), after more then 50 installations (I actually might have invented a way, how to run 3 BS Players - 3 different versions at the same time, of course, at that time, I thought, I lost my computer for good, after what followed..), uninstallations and reinstallations, after more then 10 different packages of codecs, both pirated and free, after a several harsh hits into my keyboard...

... I figured it out!

Let's recap this, shall we?

I) BS Player works fine with .mkv 720p
II) BS Player works fine, after external .srt were loaded in
III) BS Player went mad, at the exact time, when it went full-screen
IV) full-screen with NO .srt however, worked just fine!

--> problem MUST be the .srt or subtitles in general! YES!

:::AND NOW THE SOLUTION:::

1) right-click on the screen
2) "Options" -> "Preferences" -> "Subtitles"
3) select "Subtitles properties"
4) [x] "Enable drawing subtitles under image with EVR renderer" -> DISABLE THIS!
4) FIXED!



So far so good, fingers crossed, one less pain to deal with.

Oh and by the way, BS Player NEEDS a better skin, but that's a topic for another day, I'd point here, for any lucky people, who stumbles onto this amazingly "dumb" topic: Phoenix by ~Gocilla on deviantART

Let's roll!

If you're looking for a few skins, maybe also check out these:
www.bsplayer.com (but perhaps also look here, here, here, and here).

Hello!

Usually i never register to any forum, what I do I always browse at google if i have some problem with anything. And luckily there is always a person who encountered same problem as I did and found solution with group of people like in this case.
I wanna thank you too, cause i had this problem aswell terrible lag and freezes when i loaded subtitles interal or external when on fullscreen.

I googled alot and finally it brought me here and it's fixed now.

Thank you again, this worked more than perfect for me aswell !
Good luck in future

-chr1s

p.s:not to mention i installed and unistalled a milion times aswell ;) always try to do your best than search for help if all fails

Its nice that you got your issue resolved.I too joined this forum solely for the reason that it helps in pooling of ideas which enable one to overcome his problem.

Just so you know, you should uncheck "use anti-aliased font" otherwise you will still get the flickering problem.
