Playback Error

[Jagarus]

I get the following error when trying to play an XVID video: WARNING: NOTHING TO OUTPUT B FRAME DECODER LAG.

Whats wrong? I opened it up in the player, the error comes and it closes the player automatically.


Thanks.

This has been discussed million times now. You can find a technical explanation in this (http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?threadid=65424) recent thread (read the post by Stux). You shouldn't be getting this message if you are using dshow filter for playback. It only appears if VfW interface is getting used which might be the case here. So you should use ffdshow or Nic's dshow filter for playback and you won't have any problems. Even a plain dshow filter from CVS (which comes with Koepi's build) doesn't have this problem.

It is true that B-Frame decoder lag is normal, but you oversaw the fact that he mentions the player just exits.

I didn't overlook that part about player exit. It's just that you'll never get this message if you are using dshow interface for decoding and you are using the right filter. That's why I suggested to Jagarus to try using the right filters first assuming that if that message appears then he is not using one. But it would have been nice if he had written what he was using for decoding and most importantly what player he was using so we could tell more precise what the problem is.

So Jagarus please report your build, decoding filter and your player or if what I wrote in my first reply already solved your problem.

I re-installed FFDSHOW. It works fine now. Thanks.
