Is it VMR9 renderless ?

[ssdevious]

Thank you Peter!

1) Yes, I'm using the current version. Interesting / weird thing is that my old version (2.57 I believe, plus it was some BETA..) never had such issues. But yes, atm. I'm using 2.61 1065.

2) Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit.

3) EVR: I found somewhere that the EVR might be causing this, so I switched, one by one, to all other available alternatives and one was worse than another. One killed my Aero, another most likely kept Aero on, but the video (720p rip) looked really rubbish, plus the subtitles looked awful, in EVR the subs had just a tiny black contour around it, very thin and very sharp, but with any other renderer it looked really terrible, certainly no-go way.

I will try the "New Subtitles Parser", the other one ("Anti-Aliased") was already on. And read that other post.

Certainly this is no FREE version limitation? It's all .mkv doing the same, I haven't tested on .avi or others, because I frankly have no idea, where to get an .avi video atm., all movies are in .mkv these days, 720p and 1080p rips, unless it's full untouched BluRay.

Thank you a lot for your assistance, I really appreciate it.

Not precisely. The quality more or less remains unchanged, but it's something like 1 FPS, plus terribly fitful video, after 5 or 6 seconds, it's about to cause you a terrible eyesore.

Just tested an MKV file. Strange thing.I personally prefer internal renderer because, IMHO, on my computers works the best. So, I've swiched to EVR to see and stumbled uppon 2 interesting things.
1. having external RAR/IDX files, BSPlayer play the file with stuttering. (same file, previous build worked OK)
2. Using an external .srt file, it works OK
3. I don't have ATM an MKV with internal subtitles to test how it works.

4. Frame rate reported when playing the file....59,94 fps. File is certainly 29,97
5. After swiching back to internal renderer....29,97 fps.

Something is wrong here.

Using Gabest MKV, CoreAVC, AC3filter

I was refering strictly at the image with the black border.

Internal renderers kills the Aero for me, it's mentioned in that topic Peter linked before. Some support guy explains in that topic that internal renderers are technically incompatible with Aero and that we should stick to EVR.

From what I've experienced, it's either EVR or nothing, because the other render settings looks even more weird to me and that Aero switch glitch, for someone who watches one movies a week, fine, but for someone, who watches a dozen videos daily, it's another eye killer, e.g. go basic display -> Aero -> basic -> Aero with each BS Player ON / OFF.

Probably, there might be a way, what Peter suggested, exploring what codecs or similar stuff are used during the play and analyze that.

FILTERS (playing .mkv):

AsyncClock
Default DirectSound Device
Video Renderer
Microsoft DTV-DVD Audio Decoder
Microsoft DTV-DVD Video Decoder
Source

-> This is what I see, when I open the "Options" - "Filters" - "Advanced".

A, ok. Look, Microsoft's codec is a total failure (Microsoft DTV-DVD ). Try to install ffdshow or CoreAVC. Problem should be fixed.

PS: I know that internal renderer kills Aero, but I'm OK with that. I personally don't need Aero while whatching a movie. And...there is an option to re-enable Aero only when closing BSPlayer, so if you play 2-3 files you get only 2 flickers, at begining of first video file and when closing BSPlayer.

[ssdevious]

Yeah, that's all right. I mean, you don't need Aero, while in full-screen mode, but the swaps are hurting,...

Anyway, should I randomly Google those codecs or is there any specific recommended place to get them?

Thanks,

You can install ffdshow using codecmanager.exe from BSPlayer's install folder or you can go here:

Free-Codecs.com : Download FFDShow MPEG-4 Video Decoder 2011-12-27, FFDShow MPEG-4 Video Decoder 2011-11-29 and FFDShow MPEG-4 Video Decoder 2011-12-27 x64 : FFDSHOW is a DirectShow decoding filter

you will also need an MKV splitter (that you probably have installed - Haali or Gabest)
