    I wonder, what I did wrong with my FFDshow settings or what else to get crash of my (othervise well-working) BSplayer when trying to play a clock.avi - a M$ sample animation. There is the 80kBy animation in case you did not have it:

    http://dfiles.eu/files/mcsgcfgkk
    http://ulozto.cz/xDikFZtg/clock-avi
    http://www.sendspace.com/file/b3p3rz

    I have no idea, what I did wrong, it is simple Microfost RLE video with DSP Group (0x0022) audio codec (ughly beeps) and when trying to open the file in BSplaye it crash by: Instruction at 0x025484f7 is trying to go on memory at 0x00000000 and this ram cannot be read... And that it is.
    Same MediaPlayerClassic silently quit.

    However on another PC it is working right away, with the very same BSplayer or MediaPlayerClassic. Also I can open the file in VirtualDub.

    My FFDshow settings:
    http://dfiles.eu/files/f31d53dqh
    http://ulozto.cz/xABrcHt7/ffdshow-reg
    http://www.sendspace.com/file/w4nj8v

    FFDshow ffdshow_rev4043 20111118 - IIRC latest for Win2k SP4.
    And the vid of course worked always for me for my whole life, lol.

    What I could possibly do wrong?

    Oh, yes, that was it. Disable the support for M$ RLE compression in the FFDshow prefs:
    rundll32.exe "C:\Program Files\FFDShow\ffdshow.ax",configure

    ...I was just messing with the audioprefs:
    rundll32.exe "C:\Program Files\FFDShow\ffdshow.ax",configureAudio

    ...but looks like the "TrueSpeech" DSP Group can be decoded with libavec w/o trouble for this anim. Ufff, problem fixed... when I tried to describe it, lol.

    weird file. audio is a wav but encoded with truespeech codec. video is 12 images rle. you probably need the truespeech codec. i don't have it either.

    Not true, the codec must be installed in Winblows itself If I disable the FFDshow support for it, it still play the ughly beeps... so...

    And hey, this is a M$ sample avi file, so, while I do agree that it is weird, it is a M$ work... Show some respect for these fu... oh, well

    Very interesting. Both standard Winblows decoders AND FFDshow Audio play the ughly beeps w/o trouble.

    But since this is a M$ video, maybe other systems refuse to play it? I can try it on XP... works just fine (sound not connected, assuming it play?).
    Trying on Win Vista... works just fine (Win Media Player 11) but without sound! LOL

    Really weird, but it is a M$ product, so what do you expect, right?
