TalkingSoft.com Forums: Green Diagonal and VobSub - TalkingSoft.com Forums

If you are, like me, using Windows Media Player with FFDShow and DirectVobSub, and are experiencing problems with a green diagonal or green lines through your video, you could try a a method that worked for me. I have to insist on the fact that I am no codec guru, but I've search quite long to find diverse solution that didn't work. Here is mine :

- uninstall DirectVobSub + FFDShow

- download and install ffdshow_rev568_20061119_clsid.exe :
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/FFDShow.htm

- download and install vsfilter.2.37_nt.exe (actually a fork of DirectVobSub) :
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/DirectVobSub.htm

- Go to the install folder of vsfilter, which is by default C:\Program Files\DirectVobSub
- rename the file VSFilter.dll into VSFilter.dll.bak
- download and copy in this folder the "fixed" VSFilter.dll file :
http://music.kspus.org/Software/VSFilter.dll
The author of the fix gives some explanations here.

- launch a video with its subtitles (no matter if it doesn't seem to work at this moment)
- right clic on the green arrow on the bottom right of your screen (near the clock)
- Choose "DirectVobSub (auto-loading version)"
- Clic on the tab named "General"
- In the menu that shows "Extend to 16:9", choose "Original Heught" instead
- uncheck "MOD32 fix"
- cliquez on "Appliquer" then "OK"
- close your video player

- Here you are, launch your video again, everything should work smoothly !

(please excuse a poor frenchy if my english is not correct)

A simpler solution would be to use the K-Lite Codec Pack. That also contains the fixed version of DirectVobSub and an up-to-date version of ffdshow.

Right, but I think I'm not the only one to be allergic to big codec packs like K-Lite Anyway, just sharing my experience, hope it'll help someone.

K-Lite has small packs too. For example the Standard version.

Yeah it was a solution for those who don't like codec packs (like me), just the codecs those are really needed
