Dual Monitor setup (DualView) - video goes blank when dragged to 2nd monitor

[jrichrds]

I have a dual monitor setup using Nvidia DualView. Video seems to only want to play on one of the monitors. If I drag it to the other, the window goes blank. Is there a way around this?

It depends on decoder. FFDShow with ZoomPlayer works wonderfully on both screens for example (thank god for that), while PowerDVD4 only works on main screen. I think PowerDVD 7 (or whatever) supports playback on both screens. In short, it's not video or windows problems, it's software that is used to play back files.

Configure your video player software to render using VMR9 rather than overlay (overlay only renders vieeo on primary display) It can be called a number of things (High Quality mode for WMP) like VMR, or DX rendering.
