a while back i posted about some fantastically curious things happening during divx playback (video freezes, audio continues, video speeds up and catches audio.... splicing of random frames... video resizing and flying off the screen... spontaneous total system reboot, etc). i thought i had considered everything, but it was not until i had to use one of my monitors for another system that i realized this... i could play fine before i got dual monitors, but not after.
the solution: disable the other monitor during playback.
of course, this is rather annoying and i'd like to be able to have my cake and have more cake too... but i doubt if i could write a better driver for my video card than nvidia already does.
has anyone else had similar issues with dual monitors? it works fine in games, applications, normal use. everything but movies. and really, the weird part is, it seems to be all formats, all players. they all do exactly the same thing.
for reference, my system is: p4 1.8, 512 ddr, nvidia geforce4 440mx 64mb agp, windows xp pro. i have all the latest codecs, players, updates, patches, drivers, etc... as far as i know.
...weird stuff.
