I used a lot BSPlayer in the Win XP era, and it was a decent video player.
But, as for now, the player is obsolete in the code department...it's a 32 bit program in a time where 64 bit is the norm (some video codecs and video decoding filters are heavily optimized for the 64 version, as for 2021). The player has issues with madVR video renderer, a few bugs, it is not very competent in the video area as audio area.
There are settings so obsolete that were not yet usable in the year 2005 - 2006.
My usual advice: as for 2021, go for MPC-HC (or MPC-BE) 64 bit + LAV filters + madVR or EVR video renderer + SaneAR audio renderer. Stop.
Don't use PotPlayer, KMPlayer, VLC player...all of them have bugs and issues that are NOT present in the trio above.

Was using BS Player happily for several years...but recently, it's started
crashing and/or introducing long pauses in some video files (files which
are handled just fine by Virtualdub, WinDVD, and VLC ... haven't tested any
other players---switching to VLC as of today).
My ratings are a cross between previous and current opinions of BS Player.
I'm still looking for a player that will handle AC3 5.1 on a 2-channel
plain old stereo system properly (i.e., combine correctly such that voice
conversations don't require cranking the volume sky high, only to be blasted
out of the room when something other than voice returns to the audio stream)....
That, I have yet to find. :-(

Use it all the time and is the best player around.
About adware; The program was made here in Slovenia and here we don't have any support for programs such as this. So Sav-e! payed the craters of BSPlayer a large amount of money if they included their software. But if you buy BSPlayer PRO there is no spyware or adware included so if someone would like to buy this program there you go ;).
The PRO version gets a 10+ on the scale!

There is still an older version and last without an adware available for download. Just google for: bsplayer137.826.exe.
Install ffdshow and you are ready to play any common video file and to easily display any common subtitle format.
I would also recommend those new Korean players GOM player and KMP player if you wish subtitles to be displayed without hustle.
Otherwise I agree with the previous post that newer versions of BSplayer with adware have turned this fine player into BullShitplayer.

Used to love this player, but downloaded latest version and it is now adware infected! My Symantec Antivirus popped up tons of warnings. Uninstalled this crap right away. BSPlayer = BullShitPlayer??

Unfortunately, this used to be the best FREE all-format player but it's now riddled with adware... Switched to VLC with great sadness...

I just think, that BSplayer can no longer be described as "freeware" -BSplayer runs only with adware installed!

This is the most versatile and useful player that I have used. It doesn't try to take over the computer like Microsoft Media Player and is not resource intensive. It is an outstanding player that will play practically anything if the proper codecs are installed. If a file won't play, troubleshooting will usually reveal a defect in the file or codec installation.
As for the "disgusting interface" comment, if you go to http://www.bsplayer.org/ and click on "Skins", there are 352 skins (interfaces) at this site alone. There is something for everyone.
BSplayer is better for the advanced user, as it has more options than most players.

This is my favorite player for general AVI and MPG playback. Can be a bit flaky in terms of how it remembers window positions etc and is still a bit buggy... very "relaxed" user interface with almost too many choices, so it can take awhile to learn it. Very powerful though.

The player itself is pretty good but beware before you part with any cash for the Pro version. In my experience the promised support is non existent.

A perfect ten. Can play anything (including mpeg-2 movies!), subtitles are fine. Less CPU usage then Windows Media Player, and it won't ruin your bandwith.

You watch video on your PC? GET THIS PLAYER.
Doesn´t eat all your system memory like media player, and supports all video formats if you got the codecs installed.
You can manually adjust video size to anything you like with the + and - keys. Lovely!!! no resolution presets!
The only thing that would make this player perfect is a shortcut on the main console to add subtittles.

Excellent
A small bug is: it can not recognize file format without the extention - so in some remote cases you need to rename *.avi to *.mpg - otherwise exellent
