BSPlayer has no picture with DivX 5.x

[FulciLives]

Hello :)

I am currently using BSPlayer version 0.85 Build 484 which is to the best of my knwoledge the newest version available. I am using Win 98SE with a PIII 650 Mhz and 128 MB RAM.

Well, ever since I installed DivX Pro 5.0.2 it has started to act very strangely.

I have a DivX I did with 5.0.1 Pro and it plays with sound but no picture. I have a few DivX I made with 5.0.2 Pro (and I did not use any of the pro features for Xcard capatibility even though I don't have one yet) and those don't play with a picture either ... just sound.

However, ALL of these DivX files play fine with the DivX Player 2.0 Alpha and with PowerDivX NextGen.

My stuff looks fine at full screen with DivX Player 2.0 Alpha but with PowerDivX NextGen at full screen it looks really really bad (like a small graphic made too big ... everything is jagged looking). Well I don't mind using DivX Player 2.0 Alpha but it doesn't support features like AC-3 which some of my files have nor subs etc.

I want my BSPlayer back !!!

Any ideas?
I've tried re-installing the DivX 5.0.2 codec several times now.

P.S.
I also noticed in BSPlayer that some DivX 4.12 files play with picture and sound while some play with sound only. But I thought DivX 5.0.2 was not compatible with DivX 4.12 so what gives I'm confused.

the newest version is Build 486, look here (http://www.bstnet.org/bsplayer/) for the download.
perhaps it helps ?

EDIT--> A newer one is this (http://www.doom9.org/Soft21/Players/bsplay085.486.zip) !

@bobotns,

Yes, I've found this problem too,
and switch the overlay mode to mode 2 fix the problem.

Thank you.

Hello :)

Thanks for the help. I downloaded the newest version
0.85 build 486 19. May, 2002

Anyways the switch to Overlay Mode 2 works BUT ...

I now get this strange "ripple" effect that takes place across the screen every-so-often that I never got before. When I play these files on the DivX approved DivX Player 2.0 Alpha I DON'T GET THE RIPPLE EFFECT.
The "ripple" effect only happens every-so-often with apparently no rhythm or reason as far as I can tell.

Anyone else experiencing this phenomenon?

P.S.
This is happening with DivX DVD rips I made using the newest verion of Gordian Knot (0.26 beta). I did NOT use any of the so-called advanced DivX 5.x Pro features (such as GMC) due to the fact that I would like my DivX to be compatible with the Sigma Designs Xcard (which I don't have but might get as I am a long time happy Hollywood + customer).

My system:
Sony Vaio P3 650 Mhz with 128 MB RAM running Win98 SE with the 5.0.2 DivX Pro codec installed. Oh and I got a shit-ass intel built in video card (intel 82810).
